Wow. On a whim I cracked open a bottle of Belgian Dubbel - style home-brew (a kit from NorthernBrewer) that has been sitting in a closet aging for about six months now. It was awesome.
I know that aging makes a pretty significant difference for particular types of beer, but it's always a nice reminder to actually drink the result of said aging. Some of the more subtle flavors had really come to life since I'd initially tasted this beer and other flavors had subsided...
Overall, the general flavor decently embodied what a dubbel is actually supposed to taste like - fruity, estery, high in alcohol and with a slight yeasty tang to let you know that it was bottle conditioned for six months.
