Post a pic of your "Tasting" events

Was the Mirror Mirror infected? I'm holding out hope that mine will be delicious.

 

Here's one we had about a month ago. The Carne Asada fries on the bottom what was I had to eat to recover enough to drive home...

(note the Bud Light Platinum front and center)

 

just your average Saturday night mix of stuff...few decent ones, few stinkers, always something new.

cinco de mayo - 08' OG has aged better than i imagined it would.

 

Some pictures over the past year of our Denver tasting group.

 

Some other random tastings

 

Yes, unfortunately it was. We thought someone tricked us in bringing a sour. It actually kind of smelled nice, but it was pretty undrinkable.

 

My pics will be up sometime after tomorrow, but this is the lineup for my bachelor party tomorrow:

Petrus Aged Pale
'11 Lolita
'10 Ola Dubh 12 year
Cuvee Rene
Old Rasputin XIV
Sucaba
Simtra
Wookey Jack
'12 Kentucky Monk
Angry Goat
Homebrew Amarillo/Simcoe/Centennial IPA
'10 Brooklyn Monster
Palate Wrecker

And a few more unannounced beers from people showing up. If I end up feeling like opening it for giggles, I have an 04/04/04. Might save it for another time, depends on what the others bring and how I'm feeling after drinking all that stuff.

 

Had a nice little tasting in San Diego last weekend which Included Whiskey Huna and some other treats. Here is the only pic I took that night and no the 10' was not infected I guess we just got lucky rumor has it it is one of the worst infections people have come across

There were 11 of us. The whole thing took about 12 hours. The far and away highlight was Loerik. After that, Blauw and 3F Oude Geuze Vintage '03 were my favorites. Other ones way up there were Jean Chris Nomad, Veritas 005, '99 Oude Geuze, and Millennium.

The surprise of the night went to Veritas 008, which smelled like that powdered vomit remover tasted like vitamins the first time I had it near its release. Now, it's actually quite good, at least IMO.

 

I don't think people realize the shear amazingness of this tasting. Well done.

 

Agreed, so many rare sours. Impressive.
