Kegging of the Stone Russian Imperial Stout

Left the beer in the secondary fermenter for two weeks and then got a FG of 1.025

Tasted it and you can definitely taste the alcohol !!

Got it in a 5 gal keg and will save it until St Patrick's day, three weeks away.

How long should I age this beer in the future? Six months? Anybody have any thoughts?
