I just bottled my first Stout. It is a night cap cherry stout. The Destruction for the kit say you can enjoy after 4 weeks in the bottle. Fast forward two weeks, and I am have a beer with a buddy, and he mentions that he has kept some stout in the carboy for up to 7-9 months. Would leaving them in the bottle have this same effect or will it be different? How long do stouts really need to be in the bottle?
