Hi Jonny,

I really think that Stouts & Porters benefit from this much time in the bottle. 7%ABV is rather high and definitly could be considered a candidate for long term cellaring.

Put away a few bottles for a year. You won't be disappointed!

I'll take up on that. I hope I can last that long but I'll but a sixer away and see what happens

it tasted really sweet and kind of bland. now the roastyness and hop character is starting to come through and it tastes more balanced. i hope that makes sense

Ok good. Mine tasted a little sweet then following with a bitter feel from the hops. Not tasty as my Double IPA out of the secondary.. I'm glad this will greatly get better with age. Ty
