My oldest are a few 2006 bigfoots, double bastard, and lost coast old stock ale.
I also have a 6er of 2009 Sierra Nevada celebration - aged about a year is pretty good.

I keep an eye on bottling dates and grab a few Victory corked bottles a year. I have a few bottles of Golden Monkey, V-12, Saison, from each year, back to 2008 I think now. I drink them when they are 3 years old, been doing it since 2001.

I don't like Golden Monkey much any more when it's fresh, damn after 1 year it's good... if you can wait 4-5, real good

I have currently just begun aging in secondary a Peach Wheat Honey Ale. I plan on aging it 8 months. I am going to get it out of the fermentation chamber just in time to enter it in the 2011 Dixie Cup!

It is fermenting on 6 lbs. of peach puree. It had an og of 1.075 and a fg of 1.016. 7.8% ABV!

Anchor Brewery Christmas Ale 2010 (4 bottles, only reason I'm holding onto them is cause they taste horrible to me right now and I hope they get better with age)

When I first tasted Anchor Christmas, I thought it was the worst beer I had ever tried (I think it was the 2008). But I still tried to age the other five bottles in the six pack.

Two years later, I cracked open one of the bottles, and it was delicious.

i have been aging beer for a while. i pick my favorites or the extremely limited brews and put down a few. this past christmas i enjoyed a 2005 chimay (blue cap). it was fabulous, though had lost about half of its carbonation. same for a bottle of 2006 DFH olde school that i shared with a few friends.
every christmas i break out one of each of my celebration ales and taste them next to each other and take notes. it's a good time, even my wife sips along.

i love fresh beer, but aging is fun and it's interesting to see how some flavors mature and some fade.

this was an epic first post after months of soaking everything in. thanks, guys.

I stopped aging beers about two years ago. Life is to short not to enjoy it now.
