[CrimsonYeti]

Prolly . I had it on draft several times over the day there.

You must not like beer very much. My 15 and 16's got consumed.... well, many got shipped.

 

[treacheroustexan]

I still have 15 and 16 also. Trying to get 14 and I'm gonna call of work and drink them all in one day.

I never save them. Rarely trade with them either.... but damn to people get happy when that is the extra. I have a couple friends that I always "drink one with". Aka, ship one and we each open one at the same time. Hell, 8 isn't enough.

I'm a hoarder. I have a couple dozen bottles, going back as far as 2009.

 

[b-boy]

I usually trade them or give them away. Too sweet for me.

 

[b-boy]

Love that bottle opener. I got one last year. My friends were giving me a hard time because it was so expensive, but it is awesome.

Am I the first?

 

[CrimsonYeti]

I got one of those openers as well. But mine is the double blade style.

So you got the $30 model too.

 

[GJOCONNELL]

If you like soy sauce let it rip....this is over-priced and meh at best.

2009? Probably garbage now. DRINK IMMEDIATELY

 

[TallDan]

Trolls were here when the thead started. Move along...

The truth stings doesn't it? To each his own if you like it the rock it till it is empty but not in my wheel house of things I will ever reach for....

Have you even had it? People always say soy sauce and I have NEVER gotten soy sauce out of it. Yes, it's always been super sweet but I've had it fresh every year for the past few years and 2017 is the best of them all.

You seem a little obsessed with Dark Lord. Does it owe you money or something?

There's probably a Bud Light thread on here that needs your input. They don't judge you on punctuation or grammar. It sounds like your kind of place.

My wife bought it at dld 16 because she thought one of my friends on here would love it.... he likely would..... but so do I! Intended to get another for him last weekend but never made it to a merch tents because... well... beer.

I didn't see them there this year. I wanted to buy one for my son. He loves mine.

Yeah I'm pretty sure a no go for this year. One of my friends I went with was pretty disappointed since he didn't go last year.

They don't have FFF graphics, but are a hell of a lot cheaper.

Had a 17 tonight and was a little disappointed. Think I liked the last two years better.

Really? I'll have to open a bottle soon. On tap it was surprisingly awesome.

Don't think I had it on tap. Bottle share in the big tent was too good.

But yeah. There were four of us that split it last night, and none of us loved it. Of course, it's possible that we got an off bottle, but that should be quite unlikely. Overall, I think I've liked 15 and 16 best.

I was impressed with it on tap and not so impressed with the bottle.

Bummer. Should have got a glass on tap.

Just traded one of my 2017 Dark Lords for a Westvleteren 12. I'm really looking forward to trying it.
