Picked up some Space Dust at the gas station on the way home tonight. Couldn’t stand the thought of drinking sub par beers again tonight.

Geez I got all excited because I finally got some for the first time. Didn't know I was shopping in the wrong place! haha.

So is the taste different once they sit for a few years? I would think so based off the taste.

Yes. Kind of like a vintage wine. Some years age better than others though. The 2014 vintage is really coming into its prime right now. Probably why it’s selling for $25 bucks or more per 12 oz bottle on the beer forums. I wish they still sold it in the 12 oz bottles. As strong as this stuff is, 12 oz is about right.

Yes, I agree on the 12oz. Had 2 or 3 ipa's and then that. Was hard finishing. If I got it again would just have it by itself for sure.

I saved 6 years of a barleywine beer once and had a taste test with them all. Was quite interesting. The one in the middle was noticeably different and really good. The rest tasted close to the latest year.
