    "optophobia, post: 152408, member: 100531"]Didn't the Saison Du Bloget sell out the sameday ? That was >100 bottles.[/quote]
    Nah. Just going off their FaceBook page alone you see a post two days after the Blend Love release (the day SDB went on sale) advertising Saison de Bloget for sale. Apricot Seven not surviving until Sunday was a first for me. That's always the day I usually swing by for those releases. Looks like I might need to start showing up earlier.

    I didn't score a bottle either. My Sole Comp collection is now one short. I'm going to have to post an ISO as well.

    Drink that special herbs, man! Its a gruet and is already past its prime! The taste of the fresh bottle was sublime.

    I can attest that it's still doing pretty damn well. We had a bottle last night and it was absolutely delicious. Not sure what it was like originally though.

    Special Herbs is my highest rated Upright beer to date. Reviewed on-tap the night they released bottles. It was a winner out of the gate and I can only hope they brew/bottle it again at some point. If they do, your account of how it is now might make me age a few bottles next time.

    I sure hope they make it again as well. I would love to try it fresh. I love how he keeps pumping out new Sole Comp beers every few weeks!

    Weird, since on Friday some people tried to buy some SDB and they were told there was none left...
    Maybe they held some back for the next day(s)

    Had the special herbs last night with some BAs and hot dog it was amazing. I couldn't imagine it ever tasting better than it was last night.

    Favorites? I think De La Seven and Rose City Seven have been my favorites so far, though I haven't had all the ones from that lineup. Those pics are a beautiful sight!
