St Bernardus ABT 12 Oak Aged

Just had one for €18. Really nice beer, definitely worth the price. I love the finish in these kinds of beers. I am thinking about aging one of these, anyone has experience with cellaring oak aged beers?

 

Oak tends to stay pretty constant as a flavor profile, but the base beer will change as usual, which might cause other flavors to dominate the oak as they become more prominent, or they might mellow allowing it to become more pronounced. I dont have a lot of experience again Abt 12, so I cant really say how it will interact with the oak as it ages.

 

I was able to grab one of these today at the LP Binny's. They had a handful more still...limit of 1 per person.

 

Do you think they will be around for another week or so in Chicago in general? Staying at the downtown Embassy Suites.

I honestly have no idea. If you're really interested in getting one, PM me and I can probably swing by to grab one for you and figure out a drop off, depending on when you are in town.

 

The Swedish importer just got hold of 20 boxes (120 bottles) more because some country didn't want their share (who the h*ll didn't want that!!??)
I bougth another two boxes (12 bottles) that will be delivered to me next week - Thats happiness!

 

My review of this beauty!

 

I noted it already in the OC/LA release thread on the Pacific regional forum, but this was spotted in Santa Monica yesterday, so it appears to be hitting Southern California now.

 

Picked up one in Ft Collins, CO. Seems to be hitting shelves on the reg. out here. 29.99 pricetag though...semi-ouch.

 

It's down in Boulder, CO as well, ranging from $14 to $30. Can't wait to give it a try!

 

Thought that the stores are paying around $21/bottle. If there's a store that has the BA version for $14 then that is one to hop on as they may have priced it wrong! If you've seen it for $14...mind divulging this little gem Would be worth a slight detour for me!

 

For those who care, the Total Wine and More in McLean, VA had two boxes of them as of yesterday for $27.99 each.

 

Total Wine here in Texas is $23.99...going to pop it at a tasting this Sunday...

 

Just got mine for $24 at Discount in Milwaukee!

 

Just picked up a bottle in Riverside CA $28.99 I hope it's worth it.

 

Local shop just got these if anyone wants one and doesn't have access I'm happy to set something up bc there doesn't seem to be any bottle limits.

 

$24.99 in OH

 

Thanks to a fellow BA'er, picked up two in Boulder, CO for 13.98/ea. Methinks there may have been a pricing error!?!?

 

Sounds like it.

 

Has anyone seen this in NNJ?
