    Most carbonated bottle I've ever had of this beer. 2012 was carbonated well, and this one has even more carbonation. I think Lost Abbey has gotten their QC problems under control. Tasting great!

    It was super tasty when we had it on tap last week, might be a good year to grab some bottles to sit on.

    Well I had a bottle of the latest Deliverance last week and it was completely flat. So it sounds like they are exactly where they have been for years now. Not sure if they are still bothering with a QC program since it doesn't appear to be helping.

    Picked up 4 deliverance at a 50% sale a few weeks back and so far 2 of the 4 have been almost completely flat. At like $8 bucks a pop I won't complain too much, but then again I wouldn't have bought them at $16. Think they're all 2012s though...

    AS has almost always been good on tap, I would never use draft quality as an indicator of bottle quality for Port/Lost Abbey.

    My latest Deliverance was flat as well. Done with Lost Abbey.

    I have been done with Lost Abbey for awhile, except for the Deliverance because the previous batch was so good.
    Now I am finished! At least I can get some of the good stuff on draft when I travel to SF :wink:

    I am like a beaten wife...I know I should leave under the cover of night and never look back yet I always keep going back. He says he will change, he says there will be no carbonation or infection issues and I believe him. My parents have given up hope and no longer talk to me because I refuse to stop believing his lies. Oh Tomme...I know you don't mean it. Its my fault, if only I didnt burn the toast or forget to buy 2% milk.

    It's been a few years since I've had an infected LA beer. Lots of flat ones though.

    I laugh at you guys buying LA bottles. Drink their stuff on tap. Better price, better quality. Though i do buy bottle of FdA.

    Easier said than done. Not that easy or plentiful to see Angel's Share on tap.

    Flat deliverance or an Amarosa facial? Tough call.

    very true, typically when I do see Deliverence, AS, or one of their sours on tap that is what I order. Similar for RR sours, but that is plainly due to cost and not bottle/QC issues.

    Dont you guys think its a little ridiculous the prices they charge?
    Angels share $17
    Amarosa $17
    Deliverance $17

    All 12 oz. beers that are decent at best compared to others! Not a fan of Lost Abbey.

    Not sure if I agree with the pricing...but I know this beer tastes awesome out of the bottle. That's all I was trying to say.

    Your local BBQ joint is amazing and I'm jealous/glad (because I'd weigh 30lbs more) that it's not my local BBQ joint. Both the BBQ and the beer list are great.

    Yeah they've really upped their game in the beer department in the last 6 months to a year. Pretty awesome to have them and burger. as options when a couple years ago there was basically nothing.
