    Personally I don't believe in cellaring (nor really even saving for a special occasion) so add me to the drink it camp. There is little debate, however, that Sucaba is fantastic whenever you partake.

    Firestone is for drinking. Their Vintage Series beers age well, but they are killer fresh.

    Just for the sake of argument I say cellar it....:wink:

    But I'd drink it and grab another to cellar like may have already been said once or twice...

    you have nothing to compare it to if you cellar it, so drink it. then possibly trade for one to age.

    drink it, but cellar the next one so you can see the changes. It's great new or old.

    Drink it, drink it right now, open it and pour it into a glass!!

    Honestly the best time to drink tho is fresh, it's amazing fresh. In fact I can't wait to get some 15 to drink it fresh

    It's good aged, goes through a muddled period that it falls into quick

    Drink up. Personally I find the barrel character in BA beers to be at it's most vibrant when it's "fresh". And trust me...Sucaba is one of those beers that you want to try ASAP...it's that good.

    Drink it, there's no point in cellering a beer if you don't know what it tastes like fresh to compare it to.

    Drink it! Abacus is delicious fresh. I just had a 2012, and it was even smoother....but if you've never had it, drink it. It's an amazing, fantastic beer.
