    Just brought these back from a road trip and I have no immediate desire to drink any of them in the next 6 months or more. Any thoughts on whether any of these should be drank sooner than later:

    Allagash Curieux (March 2014)
    Hangar 24 Barrel Roll No 4 Hammerhead
    Uinta Labyrinth
    Joseph James RIS
    Alesmith Speedway Stout
    Port Old Viscosity
    La Cumbre Malpais Stout
    FW Stickee Monkey (I do have 2 bottles)

    I would say from the ones that I have had:

    Allagash: Drink
    Hangar 24: Hold (1+yrs), drank my 2013 last month- it was great.
    Uinta: Hold (2+yrs), I had a 2yr old one that was doing great.
    Alesmith: Hold (2+yrs), but I'll be damned if it isn't just delicious right now.
    Port: Hold (1+yrs), Drinks well regardless.
    FW: Drink: I found this beer to be cloyingly sticky and sweet.

    () is what I have older versions of and thought were doing well at that age. Age-ability is a personal thing, if you hadn't had any of those on your list, I would say just drink 'em when you want to.

    Agree, drink the allagash, can't say on the next 3, alesmith I plan to age mine until later this year, olc viscosity when I got one I drank it and it was awesome. Wish I had bought two. Next one can't say. Stickeey Monkey I am keeping til next year also.

    Second it on aging the Hangar 24 and the Port, but would add, drink the Joseph James and Alesmith. From my experience they are better fresh.

    I'd drink most within a year.
    Speedway is a coffee stout.... don't age coffee stouts, unless you hate the taste of coffee.

    Age one of the Stickee Monkeys. Quads can sit.
