Just curious what it would take to land a PvW Dl , Would it work with a stille nacht reserva 2008 75 cl ? Thoughts ?
if the beers you have listed for trade are accurate, you've got the ammo to pull one off. you're talking about a bona-fide whale. it's third only to the 2011 de muerte and the 2011 brandy vanilla in trade value (does not consider the '06 growler as that's effectively a ghost). getting someone to ship overseas is going to be difficult, but framboos or blabaer (or, if you have the right vintage of OGV) would be a good way to start a coversation about one.
Which made me cry when I saw that trade... I had 2 and had access to more but I opened one up at my last tasting... and I dont even like sours.
ouch! yea i was ISO of VSB then i saw that post and was like "nope, if i can get 3 ill trade for that PVW" lol
PvW DL is a Moby Dick White Whale. And probably past it prime anyways... What I am trying to say is it not worth what it will take to get a bottle at this stage in its life cycle in the bottle. Its a 2010 DL varient so in early spring its 4 years old... I bet that there are not many bottles of it left anymore either...
2010 DL base, but was released at DLD 2011 as one of the four variants that year. Definitely a white whale, but my buddy just traded a Rare, BA Abraxas, and DB Huna for one as the main part of the trade. A Facebook group I'm in has a guy selling it for $500. Worth it, who knows? People I know who have had it recently say its still holding up pretty well, but as with many old BA stouts, could all depend on cellar conditions.
Yeah, I would agree with that. If the beer has been properly cellared it will still be pretty good beer.
