I grabbed a bottle of Stone's current release of their Russian Imperial Stout this past weekend...what say ye? Consume immediately or cellar?

Evan! said:Hey...go get another bottle. Drink one now, cellar the other. We're not talking about first-growth Bordeaux here, it's only like $6.50 for a bottle. I've got one in my fridge right now, think I'll drink it tonight.
Evan! said:Yeah, my beer cellar is much more sparse than my wine cellar. Gotta say, I'm looking forward to the day, 15 or 20 years from now, when I can crack open those 4 bottles of JW Lees' barleywine, each of which has been aged in different kinds of barrels (calvados, whiskey, sherry, port). Damn. I also have some sort of wacky bottle of Dutch barleywine that cost $12 for a 12oz. But the options for longterm beer cellaring are few and far between. Imperial stout is a good one, though. I like aging Avery's Czar and Mephistopheles.
