Voltron Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 2008 on the left is tasty but maybe past its prime. 2009 in the right tastes awful. Refund.
emelius Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 I'm just glad your stomach didn't offer the refund...
Voltron Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 People here are calling it "sour" and drinking it. Not I. The 2010 is probably my favorite. Best balance of age and richness. The 2008 is good but thin. The 2011 (pictured below) is the least subtle and much less integrated than the 10.
emelius Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 I enjoyed the '10... FFF Zombie Dust...
Augsburger Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Marcel Trépout - 1935 - 70 yo Armagnac Mikey, you have very good booze connections.
mikeymad Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Mikey, you have very good booze connections. D&M and the internets... and no money in my pocket....
Cee Tee Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Oh, Bas Armanac (still miss 1984 Boigneres pure Folle Blanche). It is still one of my favorites. Kenbishi. (Yep, "Strong Type".)
The Monkey Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 By the way, I like the Whistle Pig rye that I just got (present from Pop), though I suppose that's kind of like a mouse saying it likes cheese.
raffy Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 People here are calling it "sour" and drinking it. Not I. Found this little tidbit about why the 2009 was sour: http://www.thebeerspot.com/forum/index.php?topic=6836.0 "From what I read, the chocolate they used didn't break down properly so there is a cocoa butter build up accumulating in the beer and can possibly go rancid." - Yuck
Aura Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Rancid beer is the best. That was a great vertical tasting opportunity Al, props.
emelius Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Rancid beer is the best. That was a great vertical tasting opportunity Al, props. I bet it still wasn't as good as that Dogfather we had:)...
raffy Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Nice Mike! Don't worry, reinforcements are coming your way....
Voltron Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Enjoy it Mike! you're a good man, but you need a break sometimes too.
Voltron Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 I think Raffy meant he was coming over to help you drink the Hunupu, not bring more beer.
emelius Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 ^^wish I had known would've sent something special:)... HaandBryggeriet Krøkkebic...Sour Ale brewed with Crowberries...no idea what a crowberry is...thisn't as good as their Haandbic (which was stellar), but still enjoyable & worth what I paid...might get again...

There is still time! Al, I wish he was but I'm afraid more beer is on the way although some will be leaving.
emelius Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 Birra del Borgo Duchessic Ale...10% Cantillon this is...wish there was more:)...but Italian/Belgian collabs are cool...
