Hoping I have a choice of options for next year for my efforts.

Have a flanders red and a plambic (brett brux) which will be 12 and 24 months old respectively by this time next year.

Heard from them this morning, apparently they've found it and it's going to be delivered today.... Annoying

 

[raven19]

Enjoying one or more over xmas would be awesome!

Good work lads!

[barls]

Those stubbies with black caps could be mine, I did label half of them (ran out of paper), with the idea that each person would get one with a label and one without, but never mind.

Drink them soon-ish as the fruit will drop off over time.

It's a Cranberry/Rasberry Flanders Red


Cheers,

Beers.
All of mine have black caps without label. Most are small bottles (not malt shovel bottles though), but there are a handful of tallies.
Mine should not be opened to late Jan. It's a 2yr old lambic that was only bottled a few weeks back.

having one right now, luckily ive scored four of these as its a cracker straight off, will be hard for the other ones to top this. amazingly smooth, really vivid raspberry flavour, yum!!

 

[barls]

there are two without labels and black caps, take not e where they are placed if they are by them selves ie just two stubbies they are from beers if its one with a label and one without they are quintrexs.
sorry by that stage i want really switched on and only thought of it after i finished swapping them around and they were in peoples cases. at least i didnt try to do it drunk.
first to receive them most likely the melbourne crews are in the system on their way down was picked up yesterday morning by one of the mates employees.

 

[neonmeate]

aha so the longneck with the black cap is someone else's?

just had a barlskriek (lets see if i can finish off the box tonight) - nice sourness, light and juicy. roeselare? seems like could do with a few months more

 

[raven19]

Hopefully the courier is arriving tomorrow Barls to pick mine up :icon_cheers:

I presume you got the email no worries?

Mine are all labelled on the glass plus r19 on the lid.

 

[Quintrex]

Just got home to find 3 boxes from Barls. Merry Christmas

Thanks a bunch guys and especially Barls for doing the sorting/sending.


Cheers,

Q

 

[barls]

no email yet, ill sit it on the back step though before i leave for work, lets see if its still there when i get home.
neonmeate, yeah its a little young only almost 2 years. still i was impressed with it and will be rebrewing it and splitting it 50/50 between raspberries and cherries.
its the lambic blend im fairly sure.

One of mine I assume.
