I’ve just struck out for my palate apart from Expedition (which I also love fresh).

Do keep trying them at regular intervals though, as difficult as that may be. :-)

The actual plan is to get to a 5 year vertical down the road. Mitch over at Schlafly says he thinks 3 years is actually enough, but it was Stephen Hale who actually gave me the idea for the 5 year. So in the end I’m going with the head brewer’s opinion.

I also recently lucked into some ’08 The Abyss that I am gonna put away at least two bottles of. One for next year and one for 2 years.

All in all I am mostly into cellaring my RIS brews, though Dylan has me convinced that I should hold off at least a year on my O’Dell Woodcut.

The one I keep telling myself to cellar is Chimay Blue. I have heard great things about what a year or two will do to this classic, but none have survived longer than a few days at my house!

I agree with you on preferring beers fresh. Most of my cellaring has resulted in no or very little improvement in the over all beer. Currently, I have 1 La Folie, a 3 liter of Samichlaus and last years Bigfoot aging. I’m not inclined to add to this much.
