This is so true. I've got a 15%+ RIS that continued to improve carbonation for a very long time. My two year old bottles are noticeably better than even last year.
Best beer you can't make again?

I had a registered weed grower living next door to me back in my home brewing days. He gave me a few pounds of clippings and stems. I made a light hopped pale ale and made a strong weed tea and added the weed tea to the pale ale. I called it Stems & Seeds. Best pale ale I ever had. Had a great flavor and was the perfect color. Never documented the weight of the clippings or anything. I can't make it again, I own a brewpub and have a liquor license and a micro brewers license to protect. Between not having the desire to brew on my one day off and not documenting the beer it will only be a memory. RIP Stems & Seeds.
The first RIS I ever brewed, it never finished. I dropped in two other yeasts to push it a long, including champagne yeast and no dice. Decided it was done, primed and bottled it. Waited a few months, cracked one open and no gas, just sugary malt. Made a second RIS batch, put the new one on the yeast cake of an American Stout, and then poured every bottle of the previous RIS into the fermenter at high Krausen. It is the most amazing beer, everyone loves it and I am down to just a couple of bottles that are two years aged.
