    Can you age these/are they still good?

    St Bernardus Christmas Ale
    Very Bad Elf
    Seriously Bad Elf

    I unkowingly held on to these from last winter, and I was wondering if they would keep. I assume the St Bernardus would given its alcohol content but I'm not to sure about the other 2.

    Any ideas?

    If you already have them held onto from last winter, then I guess you've already aged them. They're fine to drink, if that is what you're asking.

    On the other hand, if you're asking if you can age them further, then you definitely can with the St. Bernardus. I can't speak as to the other two (just judging on style and ABV, you should drink the Very Bad Elf, and the Seriously Bad Elf might be able to keep longer. Will it improve? Who knows?)

    But if you've never had any of them, then just drink them now.
