I have a bottle of Victory V12 in my stash that was bottled on March 11 of 2003. The cork in the bottle has 2002 stamped on it. I acquired it before I got into craft beer and so it sat. When I finally did discover good beer it was at least five years old so I kept letting it age. Now it's almost too old to open, meaning I need a specific moment worthy of drinking this beer. I know that during most of it's existence it was in a cool, dark place. It's now in my fridge where it's been for two years since I thought I was going to drink it but never did. My question is what should I do with it and what will it taste like? I know that when I do open it I'll also open a new bottle of V12 to compare. Thoughts?
