Your Epic Whale Fail

Westvleteren dubbel, green cap: old and spoiled. The red cap, however, was delicious.

This thread is stupid.

 

Zombie Dust and pretty much anything from FFF

 

Oh that I could un-see this. I am destroyed. Oh that there were time machines & I could go back to just before you opened that tragically ill fated & innocent bottle of sublime bliss. <crying softly>

 

I'll just put this here:

Not a perfect list, but pretty solid.

 

Pliny the elder had on tap and in Cali. First sip, dissapointment, after finding it on untappd and walking 20 blocks haha it was the hype that killed it, it was decent juat not worth the hype.

 

I had a vertical at the woodshop 9, 03 to 13
I thought 09 (white wax) was perfect. After 09 the sweetness really fell off

 

Probably Pliny for me. it was a really good beer but not the mind blowing DIPA it was always made out to be. and yes my bottle was fresh. prob about 2 weeks old.

 

A friend of mine has a bottle of SA Triple Bock still and we're planning on giving it a try pretty soon. I'm nervous but looking forward to it with a kind of morbid curiosity.

 

For what it's worth, I actually enjoyed the bottle I had. I think if you like vintage World Wide Stout you might like it. I got a lot of sherry/port notes from it that reminded me a lot of the 2007 WWS I drank recently. It definitely is dependent on what conditions it experienced throughout its very long life, though. It's a fun experiment to say the least. I actually got one that didn't have a really crumbly cork, too.

 

Thanks, that gives me a little more optimism. I haven't had a vintage WWS but I loved what I've had from the first sip.

 

Duck Duck Gooze











just kidding.

 

I'd say its better than an average, even REALLY good, but I don't see it anywhere near PTE or HT. Shoot I'd rather drink hop drop anyway.

 

I hope you're not confusing New Glarus's portfolio. The only genuine sours from New Glarus are Bourbon Barrel Kriek, Very Sour Blackberry, Berliner Weiss, Wild Sour (R&D Sour), Enigma (R&D Sour Brown), Wild Peach, Cran-Bic, Oud Bruin, and Old English Porter.

Beers like Raspberry Tart, Serendipity, Belgian Red, Strawberry Rhubarb, and Apple Ale are not sours, nor are they intended to be; they are fruit beers. There is a distinct difference.

 

But ZD is a pale ale. I think it should be compared to others in its category, not to DIPA's like PtE and Heady.

 

Very true. I was doing some generalization there, but I agree with you.

By the way @

Thanks for the 500th like, cheers.

 

Founders Breakfast stout was good, but nowhere near the amount of perfect 5s it has recieved on here.

Its not really a whale, but definitely not available in stores here in Oregon

 

lol @ peoples definition of a whale...

 

I can't get Yuengling in Colorado, therefore it's a whale! Duh.

 

Tornonado 20th, way past its prime.

 

Not a whale but Bourbon County Barleywine was a pile of coca cola shit. No depth. No complexity. No duality or hidden notes. Just a shining example of mindless innovation via barrel aging
