Aura Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 No worries Bryan, whenever you get a chance. How's training going for you? Busy, and no *good* beer around here to make the weekdays go any faster! Bah humbug. Must live vicariously through this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Young Touriga Nacional vines and old Tinta Barocca vines planted in ’68. The 2007 growing season was very dry and hot, perfect for Vintage Port. The port is concentrated and viscous – dense dark fruit, with cassis and chocolate nuances on the palate. Cherries, plum, blackberries and violets on the nose. Peppery with grip from firm yet ripe tannins. Integrated spirit and a long and luscious aftertaste.

Voltron Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Having a Presbyterian. Is it consensual? I have a bottle of Eclipse Brewmaster's Grand Cru chilling for this evening. I figured it was best to start with the blend of the other bottles first. Edited December 15, 2011 by Voltron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catscratch Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Abyss 2011. A huge beer. Huge hops, huge roast coffee, huge liquorice on the finish. But, also somewhat unbalanced, especially as it warms up. I agree that a year in the bottle - or more - ought to mellow it out and make it really nice. What's a good temperature at which to store beer? Is a dark cupboard at room temperature good enough? I don't have a cellar though I do have a dedicated beer fridge...

Voltron Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Nope. Not I. Now in heaven with my first 2011 Eclipse. I went with the Brewmaster's Grand Cru Blend. It is amazing, my little friend agrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
