My first attempt at a Tripel has been in the bottle for 2 weeks. I couldn't wait any longer, so I cracked one open tonight. CLEARLY needs some age. I KNOW that it is not ready. I did NOT expect it to be after just two weeks in the bottle (I just had to reassure myself that it was carbing up OK - it is). I'll be cellaring these for a while for sure, but I'm curious, just how long can a Tripel age? I routinely lay down big, dark beers for years, but I've never brewed something this big and this light in color before. Are we talking a few months before this starts to turn south? 6 months? Can I lay them down for a year and still have something good?
