    Finally drank a Russian River Supplication vertical from batch 002 to present earlier this year. Had been saving that one for a long time...

    Have some barley wine verticals now, including a Stone Old Guardian going back to a Limited Early 2010 release.

    Also have some random seasonal verticals now that I think about it; including, a Jolly Pumpkin Noel De Calabaza going back five years.

    ALSO! Completed a full Avery limited barrel aged release vertical from the beginning - including my personal favorite Depuceleuse.

    AND?!?! This is my favorite RR beer...curious what you thought of it aging. I MUST KNOW!

    This is awesome. You should read this, they did a similar tasting:

    I hadn't seen this - thanks for passing along. It took four of us bringing beers from each of our collections to make this one happen...probably one of the best verticals I've taken part in, but after a while a lot of Avery's barrel-aged beers taste pretty similar.

    I don't know can my bottles call a vertical collection? I have over 500 bottles of Westvleteren 12 collected from 2012 till now.

    Anchor Our Special Ale. Current going back to '83. Missing four years though, probably doesn't count.

    Well, I've spent a good part of the last year and a half or so trying to drink though a lot of stuff in the cellar, to make things that I now know will age well (in my opinion) as opposed to having a random collection of things thrown together to drink later. That means I've drank through a lot of my verticals - Abyss, Black Butte, KBS, BCBS, etc. I've still got some Firestone X - XVIII verticals though, and I've got multiple verticals of every other Proprietor's series beer they've released. Looking to open a complete vertical of everything once the XX Anniversary comes out.
