Aging in a keg after carbonation

[madcowbrewing]

I am wondering if this is possible or if anyone has done it. I am leaning towards yes since it is done on the commercial scale mostly in bottles, but some in kegs. I ask specifically as I have a few stronger styles in the pipeline that will need aging, but I want them carbonated as this way I can try them as the aging progresses. I already have a stout carbonated but I want to pull it off the taps and let it sit for a few more months.

Anyone see any issues with this?

As long as the kegs seal tight it's just a big bottle.
I'd crash out as much junk as possible first...

Cheers!

I age carbonated kegs routinely. Brew up a batch, when it's done fermenting put it into a spare keg, carbonate at room temperature, then let it sit until I'm ready for it. I've had cider sit for 6 months, barleywine sit for 2 years, etc.
