    Does this beer get any better with time? At 8% I wouldn't want to keep it for years, but after having it this weekend I was wondering if some age would give it a little more character? Big roasted malts and some booziness is about all I got out of it. I didn't think it was terrible or anything, but if it isn't going to change much in 6 months to 1 year I will just drink my other bottle sooner than later.

    I aged a bottle for 7 months and it didn't get any better.

    Doesn't really change much in my experience either. It's a solid beer though. Seems like it used to be bit higher in ABV however.

    I still have a couple bottles of the original release; it tasted great when we cracked one over the winter.
