Cellaring Beers with Lager Yeast

I have not cellared that particular beer, but it shouldn't make any difference to how you approach the bottle. Think of Samichlaus, Celebrator and other lagers which cellar well. There's no need to treat them differently than other cellared beers.

 

Had a Surly Smoke from 2013 recently. It was also a Baltic Porter and tasted fantastic!

 

Plenty of folks have aged some Jacks Abby stuff and the result has been positive.

 

Lagers need to be cellared at lower temperatures than ales. If temperatures are at or above a yeasts fermentation temp, it can cause the yeast become more active and create off flavors. That is why ales cellar general below 55 (fermentation temperatures are usually around 60 and above.) Since lagers ferment around 48-55, give or take a few degrees, they should be cellared in the low 40's to 30's.

 

Yes, I have cellared Smuttynose Baltic Porter with good results.

Also a lager - I love aged Samichlaus.

 

Any Dopplebock can be cellared for a few years easily, even the lower (7%ish) ABV ones. I set aside a few Bell's Consecrators every year to have later. Baltics typically are higher ABV anyway so they'll do fine.
