I know it has a few adjuncts thrown in, but has anyone had Maja from HotD?

I was very unimpressed. Calling it a barleywine is a very HotD thing to do, since it's not close. Hard pass for me.

i'd also like to know, been hearing really good things about it so far tho.

Loved it, very unique. I'd be more likely to pick up an Arctic Devil over another Maja though with it's price tag.

Keep adjuncts the **** out of barleywines so that #NewMoney cicerones who want their beer to taste like food will continue to ignore them.

As a fan of insanity i'll try it out of curiosity.

i'm mot sure how this will taste but the bruery has made some pretty good adjunct bwines including mash and grind and mash and coconuts. i got a mash and french toast on deck, i guess that would be the same as this one.

but for the most part i agree, adjuncts can take too much away from the barrel

I can appreciate the adjuncts (looking at you CC Bbomb), but really I do not even want the hops showing themself in my barleywines.

I do not have a lot of faith in Weyerbacher and adjuncts. I like Sunday morning Stout but thought Sunday Mole was pretty bad.

There's a Double Barrel IPA coining out. Is this the right thread? I can't decide on this one, the nope thread or the toxic topics thread.

Not sure if I should post here or the cellar reviews thread.

Didn't mean to let this go 8 years, but here we are.

Great, full mouthfeel with lots of carb still. Mix of sherry and paper with some spice on the finish. Alcohol not present in nose or taste, just a warming sensation after you sip. Past its prime, but not bad.

Central Waters Y2K, 22oz for $6 seems like too good of a deal to pass up

I have a 2006 in my fridge. Sounding like this weekend would be a good time to crack a past it's prime bottle.

batch 2. i heard it wasn't as good as batch 1. drinking this brought back flashbacks of when i enjoyed batch 1. stunning beer, there's no oxidation and i think it's pushing 5 years now? well this can keep going for sure

near perfect beer, left out of my blind tasting due to forgetting it at my parents house the night before

cheers fellas

I have a batch 1 I've been meaning to drink. Glad to hear the beer is holding up.

My brother-in-law's brother-in-law works at DFH and got me a case of this year's Olde School at employee cost. Looking forward to 24 years from now when I drink the last bottle.

 

[HenrikO]

Had some '13 Bigfoot on tap just now.
#feelsgoodman. Love it that this beer has been around forever and it's always been good, always aged well.

 

[PSUMike]

I never had a single Gratitude before.

PM me your address. I have a bunch of the most recent batch.

 

[liquiddegenerate]

Wasn't really keen on this when it was released but it is coming into its own right now. Brandy barrel adds a nice touch.

for those have tried it, how is BA Vermillion? So many beers these days, so wondering if it is a beer worth passing up or not?

It was good but middle of the road for our tasting (see page #4 of this thread and on from there):
