Old Stock Cellar Reserve - Brandy Barrels

There were several bottles at Haskell's in White Bear Lake last week when I was there.

 

I am interested in this as well. I received a bottle as a gift and had not purchased any because of the price. Then we recently drank it. Aaaaah, I want more of it. Totally appealed to my palate.

 

It's really tasty. But it's also the most deceptive bottle that I've yet seen - the (ridiculously) heavy bottle gives the impression that you're getting a lot of beer. I poured a couple small glasses, hefted the bottle to refill, and though it felt like there was a good amount left, a few drops trickled out. It's really pricy for only 500 ml.

 

Lake Wine had several bottles yesterday

 

Search hard for this bottle! Brandy old stock is a one of my top 5 BA Old Ales(along with the likes of AftW and CAftW, yes it is really that good!!!). Had the 2005 vintage when it was 8 years old and it was stellar. Had the 2011 fresh it too was stellar.

 

I was in there today, The "2011 Old Stock Cellar Reserve" (I believe this is the beer you speak of) is still on the bomber shelves, Not in the most organized manner, but on the side view closest to the registers.

 

I believe there is Old Stock, and Old stock Cellar Reserve, which I was under the assumption was the brandy barrel version. The beer profile seems to indicate the same thing, as there is no regular Old Stock Cellar reserve.

I may be wrong , but that is how I understand it.

 

I have always wanted to try the brandy but never bought any because of the price. I'd be interested as well since I have a b-day coming up and might spend a little more. I know I could get a lot of saga, but it is a 'special' occasion.

 

Cellars in Eagan had a couple as of Tuesday.

 

I agree with EJ. Pretty sure the only cellar reserve I've seen in the cities is the Brandy barrel 2011 version. Although I could be mistaken as I didn't actually buy any. Strongly tempted every time I go in there though

It looks like the same bottle, it appears to say Brandy on the bottom of the front label. Like before, seems to be the only Cellar Reserve on that website as well. I think this is the winner

 

This is at Elevated. I just purchased it about 20 minutes ago.

 

What's the cost on these bad boys?

 

20 - 25 bucks for 500ml bottle.
