    Has a 12.12.12 last year and loved it- paid about $8 for it?
    Just saw it again for $15. Had to pass on it

    I would worry more about how much light has been hitting them for a year+ rather than the temp they sat at. That said, I opened one in December and thought it was better than fresh because the spices had mellowed.

    I had thought about that too.
    I decided to pass . . . When I went back I noticed that they were 11/11/11 not 12/12/12.
    Just a little to long sitting around at room temp and of course light exposure

    Anyone tasted one recently? Thinking about opening a 3L this Christmas, wondering how it's holding up.

    So much clove. It will take decades, possibly centuries for the clove to fade out. I poured it.

    Had it just a couple of weeks ago. Thought it had improved. The spices seemed to have melded nicely into the BSD flavor profile.

    I think I have an 11 in the cellar someone sent me as an Extra I think, I had the complete vertical 02-12 so if anyone needs an 11 to complete a set, a shipping label and it's all yours
