Most beers are meant to be drank fresh but a lot will age well, and sometimes taste better with time on them. Big beers like this should last at least a couple years.
Ditto !!! I believe I gave Justin a Double with some age on it. Not sure if he's had it yet. I'm still sitting on one or two myself.

I know I've had it before but I can't tell you much so I'm guessing it didn't leave that much of an impression (good or bad) on me. Red Ales aren't one of my favorite styles though. As for the Double Bastard, if you can afford to I'd pick up a bottle or two and just put them on the shelf.
Ditto as well !!! Reds are probably my least favorite Ales. It's always nice to do a Vertical tasting from year to another. The beer won't go 'bad', just different.
I managed to pull off a 4 pack of KBS the other day so now a I have a couple or 4 to age...I've got too much shit ageing and need to drink some of the aged stuff. I guess that's a good thing to have.
Picked up some more Hoptimum, some Founders Double Trouble, Bells Oberon, DFH Palo Santo Marron, and a couple of others on Wednesday.
I'm having the Palo Santo as we speak. At first taste tonight I said "I forgot how great this beer is." The Wife had a sip and said the same. Then I realized I say that every fucking time I drink this beer. I guess I don't drink it often enough. Great on the nose, palate, and finish. For a 12% beer, it might be the the smoothest I've found. On the label describing it the last line says "We have wood. Now you do too." Yep I might even believe I touched mine after the first sip...and have continued since. I have to drink this more often...and maybe age some too.
Ahhh...Talking about ageing even more beer. [insert FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU FACE HERE]
