    Yes the coffee and the hazelnut will fade. Its still a brown ale, and arent generally known for their aging potential unless the one off 13% ABV monsters or something made to.

    Cheers!

    Haha man thanks! Now I've had an 07 Gnarlywine and thought it was fantastic. The Brooklyn is this years, Ive had the Brux and thought it was pretty crazy so I just wanted to see if it would improve overtime...not sure. Didnt like the Stone 11/11/11?
