    Found some 2008 on the shelf, anyone aged this for any length of time? What are we thinking for how well it might have held up? It has a waxed top, maybe it helped. It's super cloudy though.

    It's a barleywine. They're pretty much all good for aging for this length of time, and more.

    Post a picture, I've never seen it with a wax seal before

    Bottle is the same as what's pictured in the link above, but the wax is blue.

    I'm a big fan of this beer but I've only had it fresh. I'd def snatch up a bottle of the '08 to try and if age has served it well then I'd go back for more.

    I'm going to give it a try before I go to grab what's left that I can find. Hopefully it's not skunked.
