Brewed this in Sept 08 and just finished the last bottle on 1/3/09: from a month after bottling to the end it maintained its character. The SG's were 1.07 and 1.015. I brought a few bottle to a Christmas party and some of my co-workers commented on how they liked it because it was sweet (17 IBU's, predicted).
