Goose Island Christmas

In the past six moths I've had my last two bottles of '09, and while the were not better, they were still good in different ways.

 

I had a 2009 at Christmas and have one more in the cellar. Didn't seem to change a whole lot over the years, but definitely still drinkable. I threw my last 2011 in the cellar for kicks.

 

agreed. late last year, i found some 09 bottles. hanged on to em for a few months, had one. was really tasty. i think it pretty much tasted the same as current. so if u want to age. sure, but like he said, drinkable.

 

I have been drinking a one from an '07 6 pack every Christmas. I am down to one or two. To be honest, not a whole lot changes over the years.

 

I had both this past winter, and I thought the 09 bombers were much better than the 2011 4packs. I'm looking forward to aging the newest batch for a year or 2.

 

I found a 4 pack of the 2011 on sale for $6.50 the other day, so I grabbed it strictly to test the "will develop in the bottle for up to 5 years" claim. I thought it was a decent brown, but not worth the high price tag, and this price cut was a welcome development.
