My wife bought me a bottle in fall 2009. When I tried it, it tasted a bit harsh (too much alcohol bite). Part way through I saw on the label that it was best enjoyed after November or so of 2010.

So, I bought another one and let it sit for a year. When I tried it a month or so ago, it was awesome. Very smooth and previously absent flavors came out in bloom.

I tried a pint in a pub a couple weeks ago. I assumed it was a more recent batch than what I'd had before. It was good, but not as good as the aged bottle I had.
