I was an active trader from 2010-2012, and received a Black Magick somewhere along the way. It's been in my cellar ever since, and I believe it's from the batch released in 2011, as that would fit the timeline. Just wanting to verify that's what it is. I cannot remember who I got it from, my username back then was leslrh7 I think, in case that info is needed.
Pretty sure you have the 2nd batch of the one below, which I believe was aged in Buffalo Trace barrels, though someone can certainly correct me if I'm wrong. http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/13371/31547/
You know, that rings a bell because I live near Frankfort, KY (where buffalo trace is located) and remember talking about that. Thanks!
I agree. I remember the first batch very well and I don't believe any of the first batch ever had a red cap. A lot of the first batch was also released without bottle labels as well. Most of the first batch bottles I had came with a loose label and not affixed to the bottle. I am pretty confident it is 2nd batch, nice find!
That is a recapped home-brew. Black Magick was never released with a red cap. All caps were silver for all three years that it was released. Sorry!
Well poo! Glad to get it figured out though. And glad I didn't trade anything big to get it back then, I'm pretty sure it came through a bif.
