    A friend asked me if I have done a side by side.

    I bought a couple cases in chicago and a couple cases in Rochester with the 2 different bottling dates listed above.

    I am doing a side by side right now.
    I know everyone is going to think I am crazy but both my wife(an excellent palate) and I(not as good a palate) both think there is a difference, not in the flavor, but in the carbonation and mouthfeel.
    The 09/17/2012 has more carbonation and less of a coating Mouthfeel and the 11/07/2012 has less carbonation and a more "coating" type of mouthfeel.

    Both awesome but my wife and I are surprised by the difference.

    Anyone else tried the 2 batches?
    I use the word "batch" loosely because I'm sure the only difference is the bottling date but who knows, maybe a different barrel with different characteristics??

    I don't know but it really is obvious.

    NO! NEITHER ONE WAS AGED IN PAPPY BARRELS!!!!:stuck_out_tongue:
