drinking last year's BYOD as we speak. bottle 26 of 1699.
think i have 3 SKs.
the Bellwood boys were VERY excited about SK. so i assume it tastes pretty good.

 

How is it?

 

very great
kind of tastes like TenFiddy, to be honest, but with more chocolate.

 

Cognac has faded more than? Or just melded?

 

Great beer, I enjoy BOYD slightly more though.

 

The line-up for the release of BYOD this morning was not much different than the one for Skeleton Key. For the latter it was about 15 people at 11:05 AM. Today it was about the same at 11:17 AM when I was there. No idea if the rest of the day will be similar, but I'm guessing it will sell-out within a similar time-frame.

The guy in line in front of me bought 14 bottles of beer today, none of which were BYOD!

 

But did he get any BOYD?

In all seriousness though, maybe the guy just likes waiting in line? lol

 

Bloody acronyms tripping me up...

I was surprised just how few of the people ahead of me - lining up for the release of a limited beer - actually bought 8 bottles. It seemed most were getting 2-4.

 

I've noticed that in general at Bellwoods releases. Today when I ordered 8, the guy in front of me in the line gave me this "holy shit, that's gonna break the bank" look. I should have showed him a picture of my cellar. lol

 

Imagine the bills at Hill Farmstead when they opened up the right to pay Visa... 8 bottles of BOYD is nothing

 

melded. i found the original to be a tougher chew. it was a bottle that should have been split between 4-6 friends. 2 of us easily cleaned up the 1year old bottle
