I hope it's a freak bottle too as I got 2 more of these damn things.

Out of curiosity, did you have MW when it was fresh in 2014? There was some interesting fruitiness from the coffee, and coffee beers can sometimes throw off a bit of acetaldehyde, but if it's the sour apple like White Chocolate 2013, that's a really bad sign. Especially with gushing.

No I didn't have last yrs mw, but I've been around the block with coffee stouts. It's lik wc13 but worse.

Thanks, definitely wasn't trying to question your palate, I'm just having trouble wrapping my head around how they managed to have an infection that's so far along right after release. Really curious to see how this one plays out.

The alcohol is well hidden though, which the ground will appreciate.

My bottle was bottled on November if that helps.

May open a bottle today, will report back.

Acetaldehyde dissipates over time, no?

Acetaldehyde dissipates over time, no?

If there's something alive to process it, yes. They don't bottle condition and any remaining Sacch would be overwhelmed in that environment. If it's infected, the Brett/bacteria could probably clean it up, but the acetaldehyde would be the least concerning aspect if it's infected.

 

[hi im richie]

Hopefully it was just a bad bottle. No one on Untappd has reported something similar, so fingers crossed.

 

[luwak1]

Cracked MW. Pretty sure it's infected.

oh turrible news turrrible..

i cracked one this past week and it was ******* fine. jesus christ you people.

Someone else on the other site reported the same issue that I experienced. Gusher bottle, weird tart/fruitiness. Seems to be a batch issue. Glad your bottle were just fine.

Are there different batches of it? You (and the other person) should report it to The Bruery to see if there's a connection between the 2 and have them test similar bottles.

No clue if there are different batches. I reported my batch, so hopefully he does as well. At this point, I find it highly unlikely that only 2 bottles of the entire MW are infected, hoping its a smaller bottle batch issue. The bottle I opened was bottled 11/24 and the rest of bottles are the same. Just reading reviews, seems to be a smaller subset of bottles as most are fine.

Hoping the rest of mine are fine. I seem to be a roll lately with picking infected bottles. :-/

 

[CommanderofAwesome]

For those who are curious, my batch number of MW was BL#187. I've read of a few other infected bottles, but majority seem to be ok. I emailed the Bruery with my batch numbers, and asked for non-infected MW bottles instead of a refunded $. Anyone that cracks a MW, post your batch number + results here please, I'm curious if yours in #187 as well.

 

[boogercrack]

stay strapped cause the tickers bust caps every day, yo
Batch 1-8-7 gushin dont stop, on undercover cops
so on this spot gettin' popped, sour
droppin like this and like that
blub-lub-lub-lub with their wax peelin' back
so creep when you in the c-p-t
you catch heat from ******' with' the bru-er-y



(i'm sorry)

 

[snuffy707]

FWIW, I opened a '15 MW and it had zero signs of infection or off flavors.

That background makes that site completely ******* unreadable. I wanted to punch my screen trying to read that.

Edit: I clicked again and they apparently fixed it, now it's a white background and the ad is limited to the borders...but before that, the "cloud scene" made up the entire background and the words were unreadable.

The stuff is still cheaper through distribution even with a discount, unless he is selling society only.
