I find that heating cold brew reintroduces some of the flavor of hot brewed coffee, though I've never been able to pinpoint a mechanism for it.

Many traditional and craft beer styles are intended to be served at a higher temperature than what it will be right out of the refrigerator, and you really do get more (and, to my palate, better) flavor out of them if you let the bottle warm up on the counter for a while before you open it.
