    I do wish they put KBS on sale in Jan or Feb. by spring, I’m less interested in drinking stouts.

    This is spot on. I was thinking the exact same. It’s a fall/winter beer for me. But man, it is good!

    Keep it in a dark cool place. Like 60 degrees or cooler. They say enjoy fresh because the coffee will fade or taste a bit like a pot that’s been kept warm too long. But it ages well. I generally save 4-5 bottles every year and tuck into them occasionally. I currently have 3 left from every year going back 7 years. They age just fine.
    Is it okay to just refrigerate? I can keep it in my basement for a dark, cool place but it’s warmer than 60 degrees.

    Yeah. It’s not ideal, but it will work. Keep it in a covered box though so the fridge light doesn’t affect the bottle.

    Thanks. This is strictly a beer fridge so it’s not opened and closed all the time. Minimal light but I’ll keep it covered as well.

    "cellared" means to have the beer kept at 55 degrees.  That is the magic number.

    ^ Holy mother load! A case and 2 bombers!?!  Your local spot sure does love you! And I like the eagle rare you snuck in as a side piece ;) 
    I've been wanting to try the Eagle Rare for a while now so that's a bonus.
