Brooklyn Black OPS 2008

Anyone crack one lately? Still sitting on a couple of these and wondering when the time is right.

thanks

It's been a year since I last had an 08 - it was allright, not great. I cannot imagine that it is improving, so the question would be how steep the decline is.

I'd say three years is plenty for this beer. I'm drinking my 11's this year.

Just had one over the holidays. I'd say it's on the downward slope. Drink now.

Had one last week. I thought it was holding up quite well, but definitely past it's peak. Went down very smooth, and a lot of the bourbon had subsided. Still a good beer.

I had either an 08 or 09 last night and I would not recommend aging it much more. while it was delicious still, it was very woody and maintained a lot of barrel character I do not see it improving anymore but the carbonation is dead on right now.

Man. This makes me sad to hear as I have quite a few '09s and '10s and Garrett Oliver says himself that it should age nicely for much longer. I guess I need to start opening some of these..
