Yes - for those who like the flavor characteristics of aged beer, beers with high alcohol by volume (abv) do age like a fine wine. Over time, the taste profiles of the stronger beers change (mellow, meld, etc..). We recommend aging any of our beers over 9% abv and experimenting. For example, get a few bottles of one of our higher abv beers, enjoy some fresh and some aged. See which you prefer!
