I have really enjoyed laying beer away to discover the sometimes unpredictable changes time allows. I have a case of both 2009 Black Gold and a case of 2009 Abyss that are in my cellar. I am a fan of both Stout and Brett.

I have the imperial porter from '98, '03. and more recent versions - you didn't mention that in the post as much, but has anyone tried older imperial porters recently?Harthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-43878713479164665342012-05-05T15:23:22.916-07:002012-05-05T15:23:22.916-07:00Interesting, I have a bunch of 09 Black Gold as we...Interesting, I have a bunch of 09 Black Gold as well. Last time I had one I didn't pick up any brett, but that was 3 or 4 months ago. Why do you say they taste like historic london porters? I remember it being fairly dry for a imperial stout, fairly roasty, and a heafty bourbon note on top of the wood characteristics. I thougbt a historic london porter was suppose to be sweeter with a more Kyle Larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10504100873029961057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-66863251494356950792012-05-05T09:52:52.109-07:002012-05-05T09:52:52.109-07:00That's interesting because 2009 was the year t...That's interesting because 2009 was the year that Deschutes also had the <em>Brett</em> infections, in The Abyss and Mirror Mirror. (Personally I think those '09 beers with the <em>Brett</em> are fantastic too, but that's another post.)<br /><br />Was there something about barrels that year, vintage-y, or just coincidence?Jonhttp://www.thebrewsite.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-4120950206051297582012-05-04T11:03:13.806-07:002012-05-04T11:03:13.806-07:00From a consumer's point of view, infection gen...From a consumer's point of view, infection generally stinks because it ruins the beer. But from a scientific point of view, it's quite interesting. <br /><br />There are benefits to blending barrels together but the negative is if one is infected, all the bottles will eventually be ruined. But if you don't blend, you get bottle variation though some bottles will be fine if an ifectionRich Isaacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05356872043234492112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-23152007708535991422012-05-04T10:07:40.221-07:002012-05-04T10:07:40.221-07:00I think I have some.
