    Been a few years since I've had the 2009, but I had since 3 times and thought is was absolutely rancid each time.

    If I remember correctly there was an infect GI Juliet that was recalled, I had that and was pretty tasty.

    I second this. Landed a few bottles, and a couple were infected. Still tasted like a good stout with a bit of sour. Now, an infected Angel's Share....not so much.

    Had some infected Duck Rabbit a long time ago, it was a stout and had a little tart cherry hit to it. It was still easily drinkable, I'd say still good even though it's not what the brewer intended.

    Had my bottle of Ebony & Oak recently after letting it sit a year to sour up - I thought it was delicious. I'm also enjoying my bottles of infected Peruvian Morning. Also had a 2007 Pannepot that seemed infected, and was absolutely amazeballs.

    Accidentally-bretted sounds dangerous. Freemark Abbey Winery in Napa experienced an a-b (accidentally-bretted) infection, and it took years for them to recover. What works well with some beer is death to wine. Also, one might get up Sunday, look in the mirror, and see a victim of accidental over bretting, with bows for Jamie Lee Curtis! Accidents often do make interesting discoveries.

    2010 Goose Is Matilda was more than alright.

    I had an infected De Molen Hel & Verdoemenis that wasn't bad at all. Not fantastic, but good and interesting. Was quite thin, not too sour and was still roasty and a tad funky.
    Got it as a freebie from a bottle shop which made it all the more enjoyable.
