    Have a bottle, obtained two months ago. Choice of either drinking for a birthday celebration next week or sitting on it for two more months to share with a tasting group I don't get to see often.

    Thoughts? Better to drink right away, or good enough to sit on for a few months.

    Its drinking good now but also ages well as far as i can tell... Id say a few months to a year is also good

    Drinking excellent. If you're worried about it going downhill (I doubt that it will so soon), stick it in the fridge.

    it's starting to fall off. beers that size don't hold up well. i'd drink it immediately.

    Had my first taste of it on Sunday. What a beer. I think this can be aged another 6 months and still be great. But it's a special occasion. Drink up.

    What did you have to trade to get 4 bottles.

    A couple months probably won't matter but I'd drink now anyways.

    I will likely crack one open in a month or so, looking forward to it.
