    Was very excited when I saw this latest batch bottled on 9-6-12 but something seems strange here.... almost like a lingering artificial coffee and a much thinner mouth feel then any other years batches. Anyone else tasting this?

    You know the batch of celebration bottled on 12/14/12 isn't as hoppy as last years right?

    Your Flux Capacitor effected the taste. That is one of the negatives of time travel .

    Definitely looks like a 9, if that was an 8 it got rubbed off perfectly..

    That's what she said, right?

    Maybe they switched to day/month/year, and it's actually from June.

    i thought it had a lingering thin artificial coffee taste first time i tried it 2 years ago. I dont understand the love for it.

    I've had several bottles. All have been delicious. It should maintain its flavors better than Hop Henge does :wink:

    I'm having a hard time picking up good definition in my photos with the current lighting, i'm gonna have to take some better pics and check my other bottles. Naked eye reads 9-6-12 on this one.
