Digita7693 provided us with some killer shots of the new Brabantiae barrels being filled.

Amazing

Hope our Belgian friends in this thread are safe and sound. Thoughts and prayers go out to y'all and everyone involved.

 

[Hopping Tiger]

I am not sure that toasting and drinking a Belgian beer tonight isn't a completely hollow gesture. (decent odds I would have drank a Belgian beer tonight anyway.) But its all I got. Cheers, friends. Hope you all can put this behind you soon.

Thoughts and prayers out to everyone in Belgium. Best I can do from PA. December 2010 bottle of Rose. Excellent.

Yea haven't seen it either. If you want someone to drink that spont with let me know. I'll bring something too.

Found some today at Total Wine - Perimeter. Not sure if it's been posted on Twitter or not by other shops, as I haven't logged in in days... but if they got some, I'd imagine others did as well.

What are folks general opinion of mort subite? I never see anyone talk about it. Is it that bad?

I have a bottle I purchased 8 or so years ago that I think im gonna crack tonight in addition to boon black label (to see what the fuss is aboot) and because its been too long since ive had boon anything other than MP.

I finally got around to drinking my personal white wael on Monday after closing on our first home

. It lived up to its expectations with beautiful fruit, funk and one of the best mouthfeels I have had in a Lambic. Incredible that it was sitting right at 14 years old. I am glad I got to try it, it was worth the hunt.

When my group popped it malvasia rosso was the most distinctive lambic of the night and definitely held up for its age at about 10 or 11 years at the time. Super bubbly as I recall

Damn. I've had Malvasia Rosso once, at Sour & Bitter 2012. One of my favourite sours, ever. Would love to get my hands on another bottle. Cheers to you guys!

congrats on the home and the bottle

[Marksy]

"Or good offer!"

Ha. Hahaha. Hahahahahahahahahaha!

[stakem1]

Not a bad brew...if you can ignore the tainted copper aftertaste.

And just think of how much Treehouse you could trade it for!

 

[lambandtunaphish]

18 cans seems fair.

Tainted copper or copper taint?

What year? 2008?

I typically think Mort Subite is decent but a notch below 3F/Oud Beersel/Cantillon/Tilquin. Although I haven't seen a Mort Subite bottle for sale in Chicago for years.

Hey all - quick question about Cuvee Rene bottle dates. After googling and lambic.info-ing I still can't figure out what this code means as it seems to have an extra letter:

LBK07NGC

and another:

LBL03NGC

any insight? I was only expecting a single letter after the initial "L"...

 

[CornAndBeer]

IIRC

K= 11 = November
07 = 7th day of November
N = 14 = 2014

So then the other is December 03, 2014

I added this info to lambic.info a little while back. The extra character is the bottling line after the expansion. The breakdown is here:

Thanks! That's kind of what I had assumed, just wasn't sure. Not sure how I missed the info on lambic.info, oh well
