So that is the only date of magnums that is a blend of 2, 3, and 4 year correct?

The rest are regular 1/2/3?

2015 De Cam Lambiek Special.

Great bottle. Favorite De Cam to date. Bottle tear gives it more provenance. ****** review over.

Was your carbonated? The '15 I opened last week was not.

Bottle I had on Sunday night was spectacular. One of the best beers I have had in a long time. Part of the Blind BIF, and so enjoyable.

Edit: Mine had carb.

Somewhat. First pour(s) were and then did not retain the carb. Still dug it.

 

[brentsdodgers]

Had the làmbiek special a couple of months ago and it was dead flat. Good to hear it's carbing up now. The taste was great though

 

[Padraig]

I probably shouldn't do this, but Raf/Bokkereyder is amazing!
Highlight of NotGT for me. The grape blend w dornfelder, Pinot noir and regent grapes was delicious, the cognac and blueberry was nice and unique, and the passion fruit was otherworldly!

Side note: we will have a few of his beers up for auction at Brews for New Avenues 2016, aug 27

This. The Wind in the Willow was knockout. No surprise they were sold out in no time. Serious business.

So much rage about arriving too late to catch this next week.

I honestly am still thinking about going. Flights into Copenhagen and back are only 20€ Right now. Leave early in the morning and head back late in the evening, does that sound crazy or just lambic?

 

[Padraig]

Not crazy at all. I've done the same thing going between Brussels and London plenty of times!

Depending on where you are coming from it might even be worth trying to get some cheap accommodation and staying overnight.

Next door at Mikkeller & Friends there is a sour take over the night before (10th) across all 44 taps. I went to this in 2014 and they had some good stuff on. Now with the Koelschip thing I expect it will be even better. Might be worth asking about a taplist.

Or if you were to leave on the 12th you could catch the Hill Farmstead thing at Warpigs which starts at noon. Full list in the CBC thread but it's like 40+ beers. And there's always that nice lambic list Himmeriget of course.

If you had any vague ideas about visiting Copenhagen for beer stuff this is definitely the week to do it.

some cheap accommodation

Stop trolling Padraig, no such thing in Copenhagen.

 

[RyanG1]

Not sure if this is seeing distro in the U.S., but definitely worth a try. First time trying a Boon goozie. Little sweet for me. Enjoyable and a nice break from all the 3F turdz.

This had a weird bloody/metallic flavor when it was fresh but that has faded a lot over time and it's got a lot better. I enjoyed the last bottle I opened quite a bit. Vat 44 is worlds better though.

Vat 79 was supposed to be out around March, I was told late last year. Anyone have any news on when it might actually release?

Hmmm, Vat 44 only available in etre land?

Beautiful girls everywhere + couchsurfing.org made for a very fun and cheap trip in 2010...

Vat 44 seems to have dried up everywhere... I'm constantly ISO.

I had it twice last week, guess it's out? I liked it a lot more than 44 and 77 out of the gate.

Last weekend.

It was released several years ago, so you'd have to get really lucky to find it for sale anywhere at this point.

Was Cantillon still supplying lambic for Duchessic? If so, I presume Del Borgo will no longer have access to it.

 

[Splodey]

Stuck a bottle of Black Label in the freezer and proceeded to forget about it. Anyone had experience with Geuze Popsicles?

I think the last few batches hadn't used cantillon anyway.

But the guy at whole foods insisted it was still cantillon..... I laughed at him, but still bought a bottle.

 

[harrymel1]

whole foods

lol

Ironically it's the best source for bottle in these parts.
