Regular Bourbon County Stout 2015 Infection

[SSTroller]

Sorta OT...but is anyone still waiting on a BW refund from GI? I called mine in towards the end but seems like it should have showed by now. I need that sure to be too small tshirt.

Still waiting on mine too. And no shirt so far either.

I've seen regular on the shelves of a few grocery stores around here still. Guess I should go buy what's left and drain pour it to save people from the **** experience.

Never got a shirt ( they did take my info ) but got a 180$ check 4 weeks after calling about BW.


I have 16 October regulars....lol.

Not getting any signs of infection or any other off-flavors even though I'm "looking for them". Bourbon and booze heat up front, fudge in the middle, toffee on the finish. Delicious.

Still not sure why the **** I put these BCBS bottles in the fridge. **** is so much better at 60+ degrees.

12NOV2015 0904 14.3 ALC/VOL Bourbon County Stout

Tasting great, decadent barrel character / chocolate / warming alcohol / sweetness that is everything I like about BCS. Also we had a good (as much as you like 2015 Prop) 2015 Prop bottle on Sunday.

Not saying there isn't something going on with certain bottle dates, but it doesn't seem to be as widespread as barleywine and coffee bottles.

Washed some Taco Bell down with a 10/22 bottle last night. No problems. Except for the grumper I took this morning. YMMV.

This was tart & approaching gross. Drainpoured, opened another one and had the same experience: unusually brisk carb, thin, and tart. Any word on GI offering refunds? I have 6 more from the same date that I'd just assume dump if there's no hope of restitution. Doubly disappointing as this was one of if not the best ever batch I've had fresh.

You can all thank me for this thread.

Thanks abecall98, you stole Bill's gig. Homie.

Any links to a list of confirmed infected bottling dates and %?

pretty much all bottles in Florida. I heard rumors that Florida, as state, is infected.

But in all seriousness, from my research on all posts from the multiple sites and facebook groups has it pretty much mostly on the October 21st bottling, with a very small infections detected on the October 20th also. Both, the 14.3% abv.

 

[Tangus]

I might crack one tonight, fingers crossed.

I wonder if Goose Island will let me make another claim. I already made one for a crappy infected BCBBW and a BCBCS that was meh. I didn't think I needed to worry about BCBS. What went wrong this year that they had so much infection?

I heard it was because they added beachwood to it.

I heard Greg Hall took a piss in the final blend.

 

[Podunkparte]

Do you think they'll offer free pants for this one? I could really use a matching wardrobe

 

[Bill2]

Opened another 26OCT and it was perfectly fine, FWIW. It was also my last of that date, so IDGAF anymore.

 

[Beer4B]

Opened a FL purchased 5 of Oct (I think, definitely NOT the 21st) last night and it drank wonderfully.

I don't mind the incentive to drink these quickly, but annoying either way.

Thx man!

 

[Art Vandelay1]

All 4 that I've had have been great. 3 Oct21 (830 to 930) and 1 Nov 4.

Another October 21 casualty over here. Had one last night that was absolutely gross. Sour as hell with a nose of tart cherries and sewage. Undrinkable. Probably safe to assume the other 11 in my case are equally terrible.

Florida?

 

[rightcoast71]

^^Yep

Opened a Oct 12, 13.7%, picked up some off flavors, couldn't tel whether it was just this thread mind ******* me.

Repeated the process 10 days later (tonight) same off flavors. Buts still slight enough that I wasn't totally sure I wasn't fooling myself. Had my wife take a sip and tell me what she thought (didn't mention anything), her immediate reply was there was something tart and metallic.

Fuuuuuuuuck.... I have a fair number more of these. All same date. It's not intolerable, or undrinkable, but it's definitely there.

**** **** ****.

 

[Ziggy]

Well, I can confirm this is total ****.
Vinegar and sour cherry on the nose.
Taste is ******* awful. Like someone poured a glass of vinegar in it. All the classic chocolate and caramel taste is gone, and replaced with awfulness. Im not a huge fan of sour stouts, ive had some that are decent, but this is just plain terrible.Too two sips and poured this ******* down the drain. Totally ******.

Batch number for reference. May God have mercy on your soul if your bottle(s) match mine. Oh yeah I have six more with the same number. ****. I blame Florida

 

[CoinStarChange]

****. I blame Florida
