    Not sure what the truth of this is, but I figured we could start somewhere. This is what I've got:

    2013 Barlewine:

    Probably just using up whatever caps they had available?

    This. The people thinking it's anything more are very foolish/gullible and they clearly don't drink lambic either :sunglasses:

    I though the gold cap 2013 coffee was just a myth

    White lettering on Coffee and Barleywine for me this year. Gold on the Regular. Assuming it is just whatever was around. At best, maybe difference this year indicates 13.8% vs. 14.4% bottles? Mine are 13.8% (and still taste great).

    Someone trying to start a Pappy rumor yesterday which is doubtful. But hey, if so, FT: 16x Rare ISO: Dave+Don Q

    But the stuff with the gold cap tasted better. The Pappy myth has to be true...

    My regular '13 BCBS have gold lettering caps and all of my bottles this year have the white lettering.

    Not able to confirm anything at all, but what I heard is that its just a matter of what they had on hand when they bottled different batches.
