    Opinions on this brew system

    Brooklyn Brewery Cuvee Noire

    I just tasted this last night at a beer "class" comparing old and new world beers. I believe it was bottled in 2012, so this may be different than the OP. Let me tell you, that this was one of the finest big beers I have tasted (I guess it is about $25 for a big bottle, so I have champagne...
