Storm King

just a general rule of thumb, aging decreases hop bitterness which this one has a lot of. Ive never had one aged but i would think that it would numb down that hop bite which this beer is known for. I actually like it fresh and should try laying some down!

 

This ages pretty well. I actually prefer it with some age versus fresh. It becomes something completely different when it hits the 3 year mark. 5 years max before it takes a decline.

 

well man if you ever want more or are looking for more victory its obviously plentiful out here on the east, would love to set up something with someone out west just for some local/easier to get goodies that i can't get just as you can't! cheers man.

 

I just recently picked up some Storm King to cellar with an enjoy by date of MAR 26 2016. Does that mean the bottling date was March 26, 2011?

 

I believe so. Google fresh beer only, it's a nice site that has a ton of breweries freshness dates and formats. I believe it is a fellow BA that made the site too

 

If anyone is interested, I have a 2+ year bottle (bottled 03/05/2010) up for trade.

 

Storm King, Old Rasputin and Yeti are my favorite beers to age. They're cheap and they age well in a short period of time.

 

So far have only aged a bottle for one year, still great, really can't wait to see what more aged does to it.

 

I think I have 10-12 of these in the cellar...Even at the one year mark there is a measurable improvement. I'd say it's worth holding on to some.

 

Yes, Victory dates Storm King and Old Horizontal with 5 year dates.
