    Right BA, listen up. It is with a heavy heart that I must confirm the rumors - the mighty Rare has taken a tumble :slight_frown:
    If you are holding onto bottles in the hope that it might still improve, please go into your cellar tonight and crack them open!

    *Disclaimer: Other bottles may be aging just fine :wink: .

    Actually the Rare kinda ruined my day :slight_frown:
    The bottle I had last year this time is my all time highest rated beer, so the oxidization in this bottle was VERY disappointing.

    Well not right this minute but yesterday.... walked into a small upcoming brewery and was drinking all their beers and the main bartender comes up to my buddy and I and ask "are you guys beer connoisseurs?" didn't really know how to respond so I just said "yes" and hes like we have a cellar collection and he comes back up with a 2009 Nemesis and 2010 KBS..... HOLY CRAP! that was amazing. what a couple of beers to end a nice Sunday.

    I agree, on tap it was more like a BlackNote, or Parabola... but different. I wasn't getting the same dark fruit from the bottle. Would be interested in your thoughts when you open a bottle.

    Ok, so I live under a rock. This is my first Torpedo. I guess I just take it for granted that it is so easily accessible. Overall great beer.

    I made a Mikkeller Black beer soap this morning because I couldn't drink it last night after I had already opened it. Does that count in this thread? Oh wait...I am drinking a Deschutes Mirror Pond. Cheers!
