I looked under the house in the crawlspace (where I store kegs, it's an encapsulated crawlspace) and found a three gallon keg of Barleywine, it has to be about twelve years old. put it on tap and it turned out to be mighty tasty.

I've had some health problems this year and haven't been able to brew much, so just pulling out the kegs.
I previously pulled out a keg or RIS ~14%, 6 plus years old, a keg of Old Ale ~13%, ~6 years old, a keg of Belgian Quad ~13%, ~6years old, all of these had been barrel aged. (These could have been older.)

It's about time to crawl under the house and look for more.
I know that there are several kegs of Flanders Brown, and several kegs of Mead, uncertain as to the rest.
Most got put down there when we moved in and I was working out of state, they had previously been stored in a closet, at my last house.

I would typically brew a ten gallon batch, put five on tap, and save the other five.
