    Temptation, St. Lamvinus, and Framboise for the Cure come to mind.

    Just out of curiosity, when was the first bottling of St. Lamvinus?

    For me it is nothing too spectacular, a Crooked Stave Batch #1 (and other CS beers) and FW Abacus.

    1995 label. I contacted Jean, anr he said it was something of a test batch and might not be good anymore. We'll see...

    huh, sounds interesting. Test batch or not, it's still something cool to try out!

    I've got a first batch of Cantillon Cuvee Des Champones, 1989 Kasteel Donker (the abv is higher in the first batch), Neill & Ross Shot In The Dark (only batch) all waiting to be opened.

    Rarest first batch I had was a 1979 Boon Kriek. Only 300 bottles were made that year. Also has a last batch 1976 Dekoninck Gueuze which was pretty awesome too!

    parabola, abacus, dissident, abyss, black butte xx, black tuesday, chocolate rain, sour in the rye, white oak, papier, oude tart, melange 3, melange 1 (only batch so far but a second is on the way), barrel aged autumn maple, consecration. a few of these I plan on drinking sooner rather than later, and some Im still holding on to purely for experimentation purposes.
