    I had a Duvel from 1987 (my birth year) while in Europe. It was significantly better than I expected, and nothing like fresh Duvel.

    I had a 4-year-old Pangaea, and I thought it was delicious. I just saw it's now retired...

    I'm going to add another entry on here. I opened a 2004 De Dolle Dulle Teve in a corked and capped 750ml bottle over the weekend. The beer was still very well carbonated - though as soon as the cap came off, the cork was bubbling as carbonation was escaping. The beer was still a good resemblance of the 2010 version I'd had the day before from a 333ml bottle. For an 8-year old Tripel, this was doing pretty well in my opinion. Though, I think it's now time to open the other 8 of them and the 2 from 2000...I don't see them really "improving" from here.

    Just tried a 2009 Stone Sublimely Righteous. Can't believe how delicious it is -- makes a lot of vintage RIS's look sad by comparison.

    My friend has one in his fridge from last year that I gave him. If he holds onto it for a while longer I might have to get it back...
