We inherited the family wine cave, and back in the deepest corner we found about 80 bottles of this stuff. Her dad had a license to distill fruit from his orchards, so every year he made plum and pear brandy. Unfortunately none of the bottles have any markings so it's a crapshoot what kind you'll get. Since he quit making it in 1982 we know it's that old, and the bottle style is distinctly not modern so it's probably from the late 50's or early 60's.
This is moonshine,, so I'd be careful with the very oldest ones just in case he wasn't fully methanol-aware...those might be the "beginner batches". There might be a test you can do. How to Test If Alcohol Has Methanol. I'd suggest the "yellow flame" test at the very least.

Great RIS. I think I like the 12 oz bottle size better. 16 oz of a beer like this is a bit much for my palate!😉

Yeah, 16oz is lot.

I remember when that first came out, Three Floyds had a reputation for making the heavy duty-ist heavy duty beers that there were or ever would be...and this stomped on them.

I haven't had it since I left PDX, over twenty years ago, but I'm sure it's still a very substantial beer, even by today's silly standards.
 
Grist is measured and milled for tomorrow and my water is sitting in the kettle, ready to go.

It’s too dark to take a picture on the red tool box, the CD rack will do. This is the first time since last Spring that I’ve been up after the sun went down.

A pleasantly insipid blonde ale with Mandarina Bavaria.

Great album by the Dead Milkmen, BTW.
