I thought perhaps the bottles were bad, but I’ve tried several now. Every time I try it, the smell is great but the bitter aftertaste is so overwhelming that I just don’t enjoy it.

I’m not sure if a beer with less than 8% abv should be cellared for long periods.

My (ex)girlfriend got me a bunch of beers for valentines day. After drink some big bottles I moved on to the little fat one. One sip and I raised it in the air and proclaimed it the "best beer ever!". My statement stands and I never looked back. It took me down the path of beer education to the level of cicerone. The fact that I was drinking it was the reason for my interview and being hired at the legendary Monks cafe. I know manage my a bar/music venue. Cheers
