    Yeah I haven't had this batch of Boxer's yet (but got some last weekend after you raved about it), so we shall see....

    Trade bait, especially now that the ratings have gone up so high.


    I'm getting a Darklord for one :rolling_eyes:

    Sigh. I lied, they changed the label again.

    Dark Lord is MUCH better than Pumpkinator IMHO.

    I think it needs to sit though.

    I agree, but after drinking this years batch, I don't hold it in such high esteem as I used to. The '09 I had at the JK bottle share was not bad, but nothing great. '07 Dark Lord is one of the best beers I've ever tasted.

    Love the carbonation in batch 3 boxers. Unfortunately it's mainly funk and not much sour. Couple of my friends had the same thing to say about it.

    I know... Bitch bitch bitch

    He wouldn't sell me one earlier...said he had 5 cases in the back but was saving them for next year and the year after. I'll stop by after work again and see what's up...did you see them on the shelf?

    Probably new ones. I noticed on the TABC label site the other day that they got approval for a slightly different label for the Black Metal (the word "farmhouse" is moved, etc.)

    Yea I figured this is what happened...I almost mistook the new label as a non-fh version myself. Have a bottle coming from Houston so things worked out (thanks Rainer)

    These bottles have new new matte/metallic labels.

    Yeah, sorry about that. The new labels got rid of the "Farmhouse" scrawled over "Black Metal", which tricked me momentarily. The real old labels are much less ornate and don't have the skull on the left side.

    They also have the neck label, which is the easiest way to spot

    I think only 4 beers have ever had the neck label.
