I would start drinking. There is limited interest in most of those. |

Another thing you could do is look all of these up on this site (as time allows) and see what people who have had them recently are saying. That will be harder with some of the more regularly available ones, but with a little digging, you might be able to find rates with vintages listed. As an example, I just looked up the Stone Bitter Chocolate, and just skimming the top page, most people who have had it recently seem to think it’s held up well. Most of this stuff seems to scream bottle share to me, though as has been mentioned, there may be limited trade interest in specific items. |
Plenty of that stuff ages well. If it has been properly cellared, there’s a good chance that, among others, the Chimay Blue, Samichlaus, Cuvee Rene, Orval, Harvey’s Imperial Stout and Gouden Carolus Christmas, will be good. Potentially amazing. But as has been pointed out, they already have a good bit of age on them and they might be starting to go over the hill. If that hasn’t happened yet, it will fairly soon, so I’d drink up. You’ve got enough bottles that the chances are that a few of them will be incredible. I’d drink the Harvey’s Imperial Stout *right now*. Aged, it can be utterly outstanding, but 15 years is a long time, even for a beer like that, and I doubt you’d get much for it in trade. |
I’ll just add my two cents... |
