    None of their stouts have really been around long enough for somebody to say :slight_smile:

    What beers are you talking about specifically? PM Dawn and Night & Day both have coffee, so I wouldn't cellar those since the coffee will fade.

    Pot and Kettle won't go bad per se, but it's not something that's going to improve with time.

    You will probably get a better response if you post this in the Cellar and Aging forum.

    When it comes to Trillium, I don't have the willpower to keep it more then a couple days let alone cellar.

    I'm not cellaring it for long, I'm just waiting for people to drink it with. That bottle is huge for just me.

    Just had a Night & Day that was bottled in February of 2015. It was quite good, but I got the sense that it has dropped off. My suggestion - closely monitor the reviews. Also, any coffee beers are going to drop off with time. I'd drink them fresh, but I'm not a Trillium expert by any means. Cheers.

    These beers were brewed w/ the intention to be ready to drink early vs. intended for cellaring. Not a ton of huge roasted barley that would need time to mellow/improve with time. Coffee is fragile!

    And the pot & kettle doesn't need anything that aging might do in terms of mellowing. It's an excellent beer and my favorite of theirs (yeah, hoppy beer lovers, I said it. Trillium's best beer is an oatmeal porter!).

    I have double P&K and night & day in mine. I know it's not what the brewer intended, per above, but interested to see regardless.
