    Port Brewing Hop-15 Ale (Bottle dated 12/15/10), continue to cellar or drink it up now? Let me know what people think that have had it before. Cheers!

    It's an experiment now, it will be an experiment later.
    A bad one i might add.

    I think they were having carbonation issues on Hop-15 about that time as well.

    Why did you cellar at all? It's a hoppy imperial IPA. It's likely long past good already.

    Major fail. Oh well, need to keep better tabs on what I have.

    I sat on a Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Extra! for two years and drank it. It wasn't that it was bad, it just had no hop flavor of which was the original intention. I say give it a whirl and post back.

    Might be decent. Hop 15 is almost a barley wine anyway. Pop it and let us know what you think.
