I followed the instructions on how to drink it (chill then let rest for a short time then rotate the bottle to distribute the yeast). But when I opened the bottle and I smelt it I was surprised that it smelled like it was off, like it was out of date. I thought it may just be the smell and I had a small sip of the beer. It tasted awful. <br />I was wondering if anyone else's tasted really bad or if I just had a bad batch?rmdavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13006470463808722150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689420909032124637.post-47295657981448483762010-08-13T08:34:36.223+10:002010-08-13T08:34:36.223+10:00Fair points Koops.

I heard John Cozens on SEN's Beer O'Clock segment last night talking about the 08 Vintage 'going for' $360 on EBay so this one seems cheap!<br /><br />The fact that many retailers are saying they have sold all their stock indicates a market for it we'll have to sit back and wait to see if it is a long term success. <br /><br />I guess we Craft Beer lovers have plenty of limited release stuff to keep us happy year round so it's not really aimed at us?<br /><br />Cheers<br />ProfBeer Blokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04934635864972515138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689420909032124637.post-46979739686830602722010-08-13T05:03:06.421+10:002010-08-13T05:03:06.421+10:00The cynic in me can't help but think of the ol...The cynic in me can't help but think of the old saying "mutton dressed as lamb". Come on CUB, $90 a bottle? Talk about "premiumisation" gone mad, and of a beer that's nothing more than repackaged swill to begin with. Good luck with the tasting, Prof, especially as it's come at no cost to you! I pity those that hafta pay for it...Koopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237584261818518594noreply@blogger.com
