Now that Bob has returned to the US after a three-year stint in Munich, Beercraft's two beer reviewers are busily dragging out the homebrewing equipment once again. In doing so, Bob found a for year old bottle of LaChouffe Belgian Abbey Ale, stored since before he left.

We cracked that sucker, and it was amazing. Age had mellowed the ale ever so slightly. I'm gonna get some and try that trick in my basement. -Mark
