I’d take it out half an hour before you plan to drink it to let it warm up a bit.

Personally I'd leave it in on the side for half an hour to come down in temperature a bit before opening. Being overly cold will mask the depth of flavour.
Had a 750ml bottle of Beak's 'Cedric', last night, a barrel aged and blended saison. Absolutely fantastic beer, could've drank litres of the thing. If you enjoy a saison I couldn't recommend it any higher.
how could you tell ?
I'm sure a fresh can would elicit the same response from me now.
I always have mine in the fridge, but get them out & give them at least 20mins opened before drinking. I like them chilled, but don’t want to loose too much flavour.
There’ll be some stout aficionados out there who will disagree with me & say room temperature, but each to their own.
If you like it
Down the bottom of the first page for £3.95. Made my first order with them the other week & got them. I had a growler last night & i don’t know if it was shite beer, or the growler, pouring, packaging, transporting & wait to drink, but it was shite. Got a growler from Vaux & wasn’t as good as the cans.

Growlers are really difficult to fill, if it isn’t done well the beer can start to turn within a few hours and is basically fucked by the next day. If it’s done properly they can last for absolutely ages.I always have mine in the fridge, but get them out & give them at least 20mins opened before drinking.

I’ll avoid in future like, unless I’m drinking it straight away.

Looks class, I'm all over non-adjunct laden stouts. The price is a steal as well.
Picked up a couple of bottles of Fullers 2021 Vintage Ale today. 6 quid a bottle from Waitrose. 8.5% barleywine. Gunna try one over Christmas and leave the other to age.
I've been ageing a bottle of Orval for the last 18 months/2 years as well that I'll be cracking. I did say I'd keep it to drink when we got promoted but I'm not sure that day will ever come.

a couple of my choices tonight..I got a couple of amundsen cans as well
sadly Vaux had to recall Blowing cherries as apparently it was a bit lively in some of the cans
I think it tastes lush and am more than happy to keep drinking them!

aye, Les said it had only been in the bottle for a couple of days so probably not prepared to sell it yet. Tell you what mind for a couple of days it was lovely. Few weeks and it will be lushToo right. Just open it over the sink. It’s lovely

Ordered a couple of bottles of the Vaux stout earlier, one to drink and one to keep.
