HB Amber Ale.
I keep a solid collection of StB in my cellar.This is St. Bernardus Christmas Ale, from a year ago.
When I tried it last year, it seemed to have way too much funk to it, and the head seemed coarse. I basically liked it, but I was not eager to finish the 4-pack.
Tonight I pulled one out, and I didn't taste much of the funk at all. More of the fruitcake flavors came out. And the head seemed nice and fine.
Does sitting in a refrigerator for very long times improve beers? I guess it does. It has improved beers I made.
I wonder if it's a mistake to judge this beer by a fresh bottle.
Duh...it says "oude" on the label!A lil old tho

I always find it on sale too. Picked up this magnum during the holidays because no one was buying it.
Gonna hide it and hopefully surprised in a bunch of years
Aging it out in the fridge is probably the best way. In reality it's aging slowly due to the cooler temp. So you have a slower change. Where sometimes my cellar gets to around 60° which causes it to age faster. I do find most things aged in my fridge are better. It's just my opinion. I also age Rasputin which is pasteurized but for some reason I taste a difference when aged.Do you think aging it at fridge temps improves it? I really like it now.
Deschutes, oh how I miss you!Still stuck on an icy hill in Oregon, but at least I’m climbing back into the saddle.

(Sorry, Rish, no red tool box, hope the red ceramic garlic box’ll do )
My first sniff of Obsidian in twenty years prompted an audible, “Oh, wow!” The first sip prompted me to say something I can’t share here.Deschutes, oh how I miss you!
Let's go!!
