  I have been burned quite a few times with old bottles.  But in Belgium, it is Heaven on Earth.

Funny, in Belgium we age the bottles in our cellars. I know at least one pub where you can ask for a bottle from a specific year...

I think I have been to that pub.

De Heeren van Liedekercke? Top Belgian sour beers place...

De Kulminator in Antwerp had vintages of Orval, as they got older the price went up 0.10 Euro/year.

I've been to many pubs in Belgium where they have multiple ages of Orval for sale. The price increases that I saw was usually at least 1 Euro as they got older (sometimes more), and they usually were in 6 months to 1 year increments.

I've had 2 bottles of Orval to date and they both tasted different but delicious nonetheless.
