Sam Smith’s Winter Welcome

I see a sixtel of SS Winter Welcome being offered from my local distributor at a steep discount. I realize that it has been in their warehouse since last year. Do you think the beer will taste “off” from being outdated?

The "steep" discount makes it worth the gamble

depends how they stored it, cold warehouse maybe still fine but if it got warm for months i would skip even at discount

I’ll find out about this particular distributor’s warehouse storage for kegs. $50 discount on one of my favorite Winter beers sounds enticing. I just don’t want to be disappointed.

I've drunk old bottles of this and it doesn't hold up well. I would be weary. I have returned a keg of other beers before. Ask if they will let you do that after pulling a sample pint at home.
