    Thats up to you guys to decide. Separate or together, both are correct. I just do the barrels bro.

    Good to know. I was a bit confused as well.

    It seems like it should be merged just given the fact that now there is a lot of cross rating. Pretty blatantly people put the cellar 3 version in with the previous bottling.

    It's pure Diacetyl. What a waste of $20, can't believe green flash is selling it in this state

    It doesn't surprise me a bit. I haven't purchased ANY Green Flash products since they decided to release that horrid, infected, mess of a beer called "Friendship Brew".

    That's disappointing, wish I'd have had more time to research prior to grabbing a bottle yesterday.

    probably tastes different, being a different batch. like every other barrel aged beer in the world.

    Count me among those who clicked this thread because I had no idea what the hell a C3SS was. At least type shit out in the thread title.:angry:

    I'm drinking it right now as we speak. So psyched to try it. Lots of butterscotch and highly carbonated with big crappy bubbles. Very disappointed. Sorry I bought 2 at $18 each

    Pls tell your bosses at Green Flash that this is a big butterscotch bomb, with tons of carbonation. Very disappointing.
    Infected?

    The C3SS I had reeked of red wine and tasted like red wine too. It was awful... I emailed GF asking for a refund of my 20$ and surprise surprise I've received no response...

    I know, right? I posted in WBAYDN 924 and said it tasted very winey and thin. Butter comes out more in the nose, esp as it warms

    I, too, got a bad bottle: liquid butterscotch I dumped after two sips. If this was cheap, perhaps it could be forgiven. At this price, I will be passing on Green Flash for a while.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this batch blended with more non-BA base stout than previous batches?

    Not surprised one bit that this new one isn't as good as the original. Lots of talk about how green flash has all this new high tech equipment but when I taste the new beers they are so average compared to what they used to brew.
