    I'm surprised I didn't find any threads on this beer. It was super hard to get back in '11/12 when people were trying to complete the vertical and now that they have rereleased it I figured there might be some buzz.

    Anyway, for those lucky people that did get hold of a bottle of the original release and manage not to drink it for an entire decade, how did it hold up? I bought one extra to cellar, but I'm curious as to how long I should cellar it and if it's worth buying a few more for my limited cellar space.

    And I didn't mean to focus the topic solely on aging the beer. I think I recall one of the Stone guys saying this was one of his absolute favorite Stone beers. What's the consensus among those who have tried this rerelease?

    I still have a bottle of the original, thinking about trying it side by side with the encore.
