    Batch 3 and this batch. Only 2 bottles of batch 3 I know of, in the sweet genie bottle

    I've drank from many flat oxidized 3F magnums so YMMV.

    Ticking? Call me crazy, but I bet people will be ticking 3L Beat as a different beer than the 375- regardless of age.

    The only other reason I can think of is bottle collecting. I don't buy the aging reason...

    if one was to age a 3L beat and a 375, both for 5 years, i highly doubt anyone would be able to find any differences that justify the cost to trade. its straight up the rarity and size that allures. size matters, always. end of discussion.

    A 3L beat is also cheaper than buying the equivalent amount in 375's.

    For the people that got a 3l at retail sure. For everyone else who has to trade for one, not close.

    I had to look that YMMV up but don't think I found the right meaning. Damn I'm getting old...

    Your mileage may vary, but in my experience it means that your mileage may vary.
