Barrel aged Grand Cru?! I think I've only seen the "normal" version barrel aged. Will keep the peepers well and truly peeled for that one.

Drinking a (an?) Hoptimum 2013... man, feeling boozy already. I could drink this by the multiple pint.

950kms to get here so I had a few pints of Bling bling IPA.

arnt they all barrel aged ??

 

[rehab]

Yeah NN it started to taste half decent after the first glass. I shall be trying more (I could always do with more hairs on the chest).

I see the other beers you speak of at the local pretty regularly so will have a crack next time I am there.

Also have a Ballast Point Porter but that can wait another night I think. My "Fail" Black IPA with Citra and Amarillo is up next and is a cracker!

Cheers all

There are variants released under a "barrel aged" branding. Something akin to a "vintage" release. I had the 2009 barrel aged Rodenbach ("normal") earlier in the year but it was bottled and released recently rather than cellared since 2009 myself. If that makes sense.

 

[Northside Novice]

sort of, so they are kept in the barrel longer than the 'normal' at the brewery befor bottling ?

getting a chub thinking of barrels of barrels of barrels of RODENBACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I probably should have said it like that. That makes sense.

My first sour was a very old Rodenbach Grand Cru on an empty stomach, and it was simultaneously the most amazing beer that I had ever tried and like being kicked in the abdomen by a horse. I have not had one that sour since, I think they are all pasteurised now so that they are in spec at our end. That one would have dissolved a spoon.

 

[Northside Novice]

It got to have a cork

Fairies dancing on my tonsils

Seems some chunks have been blown over the 2013 C.V.A
Haven't tried it yet but the 2010 is getting quite fruity ....

 

[lael]

just tried a rocheforte 10 yesterday... wow. wow. wow. Spent 4 hours looking into how to make dark candi syrup last night

Anyone know of a way to get westvleteren 12?

 

[Northside Novice]

yep

Finally got my hands on a 6'er of these.

A little overly malt driven and quite dark for an APA?

It is great that Bendigo, once again, has a brewery.

Nice one Brookes!!!!

Edit: Does beer actually come in 300ml stubbies these days? My first ever 300ml stubbie.

 

[bum]

330ml is pretty much the standard these days, sadly. 300 is getting a little cheeky.

 

[brewologist]

Yes, at $23 for a 6 pack I felt a little ripped.

The beer did not live up to my expectations unfortunately. Hopefully they chuck a shitload more C hops in the next batch.
I couldn't taste much but dark malt.

 

[Northside Novice]

Its worth it ,

Its like eating a mouthful of lovely bees
That have all smoked a big ass spliff of kindness
