What's the sweet spot for Pliny?

It really comes into its own after five years. Especially when poured over ice cream.

 

Under two weeks is good. I won't buy it over a month old.
Day old Pliny is really something special if you can get it.

 

Don't forget same day Pliny!

 

The sweet spot for Pliny is on the back of my tongue

 

you guys are all on drugs, a month old pliny tastes just like a 2 week old pliny, A bottle of pliny should never even exist over 2 months old, the demand is too high for the supply that is put forth. shut up and drink the damn solid balanced double ipa.

 

I don't think I have ever encountered a Pliny over a 2 weeks old...wait, scratch that I had one that was 3 years old at a bottleshare with westcoastbeerlover a couple of months ago. I would say steer clear of those 2010 vintages

 

Which bar would this be? You can talk in code; I'll probably figure it out.

 

Wort or bust, baby.

 

I legitimately have no clue who's being sarcastic and who's being serious in this thread.

 

my post was legit...I had a 2010 Pliny and it was shitty.

 

A three year old bottle of anything is probably going to be oxidized.

 

surpisingly not as oxidized as it was just purely malt

 

1 week old pliny > 2 week old pliny
2 week old pliny > 3 week old pliny
3 week old pliny > one month old pliny
one month old pliny > no pliny

 

RR has a super low oxygen bottling line, so this makes sense.

 

Oxidation wouldn't occur on the bottling line, it would occur because there is at least some small rate of oxygen ingress into regular bottle caps. A good post on this is is in the cellaring thread:
