    Has anyone every aged this beer? It seems like it may be good to age, but not sure being in a can. I know light won't get to it, but will it taste metallic? Thanks in advance!

    Cans are lined with epoxy, so the liquid never actually touches the can. I cannot comment as to how long this epoxy coating will last, or if the chemicals in the epoxy help the beer over time.

    Well ten fiddy is great aged in the same sort of can so don't worry about that being an issue. Unfortunately I've never really had an older scotch ale, at least to my knowledge, so I can't help you there. But don't fear the can!!!!!!!!

    IMO, definitely better with 1-2 years on it.... if you like a wee heavy that's a bit sweeter.
