So this has bothered me for some time now. Just how big was the original barrel of Dirty Horse that Urbain allegedly forgot about for 20+ years only to rediscover, bottle, and sell?
What bugs me is that at a minimum, before any kegs are taken into account, there is 243.75 liters of 1983 Dirty Horse officially bottled. I’m basing this off the fact that there are at least 100 bottles of 100% unblended 1983 DH and 250 of 90/10 83 DH to 05 DH.
So how damn big was this barrel that sat in a non-climate controlled garage for 20 years that it still had nearly 250L left in it even after you take into account the angels share? Or really, what is in all these bottles Struise has sold as a 30+ year old lambic?
