I've never cellared any beers before but I was wanting to save several imperial stouts to open around Christmas of this year. I've got several but have no idea which ones are worth cellaring and which ones will just get worse with age. Are there specific things I should look for in a beer when cellaring besides abv? Also, I just have them stuck in a fridge that I use strictly for beer. It's cooler than the recommended 50-55 degree range. How will that effect the beer?
Here's a list of beers that I've got held back:
North Coast - Bourbon Barrel Aged Old Rasputin XIX
Goose Island - BCBS
The Bruery - So Happens It's Tuesday
Oskar Blues - Barrel Aged Ten Fidy
Dogfish Head - World Wide Stout
Brooklyn - Black Ops
Uinta - Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout
Great Divide - Barrel Aged Yeti
Great Divide - Oaked Yeti
Great Divide - Oatmeal Yeti
Great Divide - Yeti
Bells - Expedition Stout
Dark Horse - Plead the 5th
Evil Twin - Big Ass Money Stout
Prairie - Pirate Bomb
Sierra Nevada - Trip in the Woods: Bourbon Barrel Aged Narwhal w/currants
Stone - Imperial Russian Stout
Some possible additions are:
Ninkasi - Ground Control
Great Basin 404 Scytale
Port Brewing - Santa's Little Helper
Stone - Give Me Stout or Give Me Death
Stone - Woot Stout
Alesmith - Speedway Stout
Firestone Walker - Parabola
Firestone Walker - Velvet Merkin
Founders - KBS
All these beers are or will be 2016 releases (minus the KBS). Does anyone know if these beers age well? Thanks in advance!
