    I have the following beers from 2011, how are they drinking?
    Black Metal (regular version)
    Melange 3
    MoaS
    BA Naked evil
    Darkness
    Alaskan Smoked Porter
    Abyss
    BA Plead the Fifth
    I've enjoyed all of them fresh and wanted to try them with some age. How are the holding up? These have been kept in a cellar with a controlled temp of 48-53 degrees.

    From what I know, all of the above are drinking good, but more age will only serve them well. I would personally hold off some more

    I opened a 2011 melange 3 on Xmas and it was great! Like candy...

    Have had both Darkness and 2011 Abyss in the last month or so and both were really good. I enjoyed Darkness slightly more but both are fantastic. I've got a handful of Alaskan Smoked Porter from last year that I'm waiting to drink as well.

    2011 Abyss is doing well right now.

    BA Plead the Fifth is fantastic, even though 2012 fresh is pretty much perfect, still the 2011 is drinking great right now.
