Black Butte XXIV?

Yes, I'm sure I mean the XXII. They didn't destroy the beer after the bottling mishap...they kegged it. They've been sitting on the kegs and bringing them out for special events over the last couple of years. I had it twice last year and once this year, all side-by-side with XXIII.

 

Had 2010 at GABF and thought it was alright. Glad to see it changes every year, I'll definitely be trying it again at this years GABF.

 

I'm looking forward to this year's batch, I thought XXIII had way too much orange when fresh last year.

 

Any word on this as of yet? I'm antsy... Want some XXIV!!

 

I'm excited to try this new one; I had a bottle of XXIII tonight and was pleasantly satisfied. axeman, the orange wasn't too prominent at this point, but the chilies were definitely kicking around on the finish. It would probably age well for a while longer.

 

Yes to martino. I have had XXII on tap multiple times at the brewpubs. Great beer, and better than XXIII. I am excited for XX4
