You are lucky nothing grew in it! That's a pretty amazing story as I don't hear about too many home brew guys who wait on their beer that long. IPAs tend to loose that bitter, floral sweetness as they age so it's cool to know the malt notes came out a bit. Great post and welcome to the beer community !BEER

Thank you so much! Really appreciate the welcome. True right. When I opened the first one after I found it, I was so surprised it survived, and even more surprised that the caramel notes came through so strong. On to the other experiments! I also found two bottles of stout, but they are stored for a special occasion.
That stout will age better! I find the more subtle notes pop with age. Enjoy.
Indeed! I have some stouts left, also almost 5 years old. And they have much more subtle notes that came with the age.
I have been brewing myself for a while and in My experience as long as everthing is santitized correctly on brew day and bottling day you should be good. Storage temps also important though ;) Cheer$;)
