I know there have been tons of these before but I figured it'd be fun to share the experience with some BA's. I'm looking at drinking 3 or 4 from the following list tomorrow for the birthday....which ones would you drink? Ba Naked Evil Event Horizon Cascade Sang Noir Sexual Chocolate North Coast Old Stock Ale Stone IRS St. Bernardus Tripel Bear Republic Black Bear Stout Highland Cold Mountain Oud Beersel Oude Geuze Vieille Bells 25th FMB
My bday brew was my only bottle of CBS. I wish I had more 10/7, just a short while after release. ISO : CBS. Really though.
I was thinking of asking the same thing...birthday is Friday, going to open a bottle or 2 with the GF Saturday when I get home. She'll want a fruity/sweet one...if anyone wants to help pick out my second one, my cellar is at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvjKnJLKGWoJdDZST0luR3p6RlQwOEF3SHR5aDFzZEE#gid=0
I think you and the OP should both drink up them FMB's while the hazelnut is still at it's peak, then drink them KBS's you're holding on to before they waste away to nothing. Personally I feel that they are best within six months of bottling and after that they fade away to a waste of money.
Happy Bday...mine is tomorrow. Not sure what I will be drinking but I think you should just close your eyes and randomly select a few off that stellar list. It will be like your own little surprise gift to yourself.
Naked Evil Sounds like a winner. I havent had Snag Noir, so I cant speak for that one. But Ive come to trust Hoppin Frog. Happy birthday bud
