What ever happened to those barrels that HF used to age maple syrup? I was under the impression that beer was going to go into those but I feel like it's been a couple years. Anyone know anything about it?

was wondering the same thing yesterday morning as i poured that sweet sweet sizzurp on my oatmeal.

I thought it was supposed to be for the next batch of BG&E.

Is CD 16 going to be like a year round availability now? Can't believe it's still on the shelf 7 weeks later

it's a dark ba saison. it's $30.
I'd personally rather have 3 of whatever shelf saison is available based on every dark HF saison i've had in the past.

Must disagree....the latest batch of Edith was freakin awesome! Dark malts were very subtle, medium fruity funk, and a nice dry finish. I wish I had more than the one bottle

No love for Edith? I understand the $30 thing, but I thought CD16 was phenomenal. I got tons of convivial in it, didn't necessarily taste "dark" to me.

Given a limited budget, I'd rather buy HF beers I know I will enjoy more. Clearly lots of other visitors over the past month or two have the same idea.

I've had enough HF dark 'saisons' with a SRM >10 to know what doesn't tickle my fancy (see phemenology, cd4, norma, elab#1,prolegomena). Thankfully, I gave up caring about ticking every HF beer once I hit 100.

I'll give you Prolegomena and maybe CD4 (been a while since I last had that and memory can be fuzzy...) but Phenomonology aged beautifully into something *great*, as does Norma (I'm not a big fan of Norma freshish, but after about 6 months, woah nelly!). will need to re-visit my last Elab1...

I wasn't a fan of Edith in the past, and was hesitant to grab a CD16. But I have to say, this beer really impressed me, didn't come across like a dark saison at all. Had that perfect tartness that we've come to expect from them, wonderful carb level, almost champagne like.

I have never been a big fan of norma.
I have had every batch, both fresh and aged, it just doesn't do it for me.

Had CD4 a couple weeks ago for the first time and thought it was excellent. Had CD16 right before and found it pretty meh.

 

[axeman91821]

if any of you guys who didn't enjoy Prolegomena still have any, feel free to send it my way.

Does anyone else think there's a ton of Convivial in CD16? To me it tasted like a barrel aged Convivial would taste. Obviously there's more in the blend too. But I'd be shocked if there wasn't any Convivial in the blend. Freaking loved it.

Also, send me your HF dark saisons. Have always loved Edith. CD4, CD8, CD12 and CD16 all great I think. I still have one Phenomenology (spontaneaous, but still) that I'm waiting to open too.

 

[Abitker]

There is a small amount of convivial in cd16

CD4 holding up fantastically well, have had it a couple times in the past couple years

Sorporesa!!!

 

[lopejuice1]

this batch of genealogy is fan-******-tastic. Perfect amount of coffee. Maybe I was a little drunk but I think I liked it better than GoM

Is gewd?

Yes. Yes it is.

CD16's makeup is less than 5% Convivial...

 

[Dino1]

Anyone know if there were any bottles not listed under "onsite consumption" yesterday or today that are/were available? Not talking about Ann.

Headed up tomorrow for my birthday.

 

[GuzzleMcBrew]

It looks like Sue was there today.


Edit: Happy Birthday!!

Thanks man!

Ah well. I'll just keep believing my palate is nuanced enough to pick out that 5%...

Its pretty awful. Please avoid drinking it and tell everyone else not to drink it. And by that I mean its really nice.

Great news, as I just mailed a magnum down to FL to meet me for vacation. Haven't tried it yet but really looking forward to it.
