I don't have a picture, but just wanted to thank zieglemt for inviting me to a tasting with Dontcounttoday et al while I was in Chicago for the day on Thursday. Those folk now how to treat an out of towner right. They busted out a Blueberry Flanders, Prop, Vanilla Shake, and BVDL amongst others! Super generous and hope I can show them a good time if they're ever out NYC way

 

[Calcifer]

Opened a few bottles yesterday. Basically 3 people and zero wounded soldiers at the end of the night.

Coffee A Night To End All Dawns is still heavenly and Anna/Arthur/Brother Soigne are all tasting fantastic right now.

[GMRfx]

This was last night, split 5 ways. multiples were all different batches, most a year apart.

Batch 5 Beat was my fav, followed by the 05/13 Temptation and the batch 6 Sanctification. not a bad beer in the group.

This past Monday

 

[xnicknj]

Thursday:

Highlights: CS Batch 60, Cerise Noveau, 2011 BA4D, Iron & Barleywine, Nightmare on Brett GC

Bummers: Kerplunk, 2011 Parabola

Missed out on the Grzzz Kriek so can't comment on that. The Rue D'Floyd wasn't all ****** up yet so it was actually pretty good.

Stoked to have a batch 5 Beat tucked away! Are the temptation and sanctification tough to come by? They're the only ones I haven't had at one point or another and I've heard great things. Cheers

 

[CruisaC]

Little get together with 2 of my brothers. Obvi no theme to the beer selections.

 

[JulianB1]

Fun little tasting at De Garde last weekend. Lots of De Garde draft pours as well.

Imperial Apricot Bu was probably the highlight for me.

 

[Stubs]

Highlights- LPK, Before the Dawn, BBBW, Girardin and Sahalie blew me away.

Bummers- Hommage tasted off. I dont know if it was an off bottle or what but it was super chemically. Kinda rubbery too.

 

[CruisaC]

Fun little tasting with Photekut and others (not on this site), thanks JR!

Highlights for me were Beat b6, Atrial, Nocturn (which was a surprise and on par with AR), and WWB Batch 60, which I swore was fruited. We'll have to do it again.

Did I not warn you about the Hommage? Definitely some Band Aid etc. when it's cold, but it gets better as it warms up. And yeah, Before the Dawn is one of the biggest surprises of the year for me- thanks for the bottle sacrelicio

Great time was had with match1112 tut2528 and JWoodisthecontroller last night.

 

[justXbeer]

Some bottles popped last Friday night

Can we get a list here? Because that image doesn't blow up so the labels can be read.

Unless those are ****** beers and the selling point is sheer quantity of beer consumed

Not sure how tough they are to get. I pulled off a big trade to get a bunch of the bottle shown, and did give up some good stuff for them - but nothing outside what I know you have in your cellar back home!

I've been thinking about that temptation a lot... I think I need to hunt down more.

Let it sit out for 30 min before you drink it And u will think otherwise. Or better yet, decant it.
