    Has anyone out there tried aging any of this at all? Is it any good?

    It doesn't seem to be that good fresh per the ratings. I would think it would be best fresh anyways so you get the cherry presence as intended.

    All I'm saying is do not knock these brews till you've tried them. I've had Brainless on Peaches on tap, and it was phenomenal. Looking forward to moving through their line now that they've started distributing to MI (but it will take awhile at these prices... sheesh!)

    I didnt care too much for either. But if there were fruit in them (I didnt get much out of it), that would fade with age.

    What I've learned about the ratings on Epic beers is to not trust them. Many of the lowest ratings are from early batches. I've had several of their beers in recent months and it looks like they got their shit together big time and are killing it now. That said, I wasn't a huge fan of the Brainless on Cherries that I had.

    Both Brainlesses were ok. Noe Elder Brett, that was fantastic

    The brainless on cherries I had 3 weeks ago was awesome. Really juicy and lots of cherry flavor. I'll be setting one of the two I bought this weekend aside for aging.
