Yesterday's cause for having a hangover:



I drank every year of Troeg's flying mouflan that was ever released.
From left to right.
2007 bottle from the original "scratch" release.
2008 there was no batch.
2009 first release called "Mouflan" along with 2010, 11, 12 all bombers.
2013 was no bottle release, draft only so I got a 32oz growler.

The label states 9.3% abv for each year. 2011 and 2012 tasted significantly more alcohol forward than the other years. 2013 was still quite hoppy and that helped to hide the alcohol. 2007 and 2009 were the best, wish I had more.

drinking some ranger ipa tonight

bar selling beer based on demand

Bought alcohol tonight and drinking for the first time in what feels like forever.

local growler fill place has sculpin
FUCKING FINALLY I WILL GET TO TRY THIS BEER

im jelly

it is an excellent everyday ipa. pretty well balanced too. would drink the shit out of this.

+1
we get it in cans now too

kind of a rando statement but i know this applies to the interests of more than 1 person here (joe, gary, dan?)

Jubel 2010...for being a "once a decade ale" it is surprisingly bland and dare I say boring. It honestly tastes exactly how I remembered it did 2 years ago with seemingly no change whatsoever for the good or bad. Is that a mark of brewing brilliance or disappointment? Im clearly sure what i think about it.

i had one last year and i thought it was good, clearly great but really good. i felt like it had blended a bit more than release date, but then again when jubel was released i was just starting to drink craft so it could just be my tasting ability changed.

i still havent opened one

After drinking a bottle over the 4th of July, I got around to uploading my review yesterday which is what triggered my memory to poop here. I went on to Deschutes website to see what they had to say about the beer. "Intensely flavored" is what they call it. Evidently it was also aged in red wine barrels which i dont pick up on that at all.

Dont get me wrong, it isnt bad. I think I would just rather invest the time/money in old stock

i love this growler place. 64 oz of black butte xxv for $17. a 22 oz bomber is $15.
needless to say i bought another bomber.

good life choices, how do you find black butte enhances your GW2 gameplay

it enhances my penis for the tsa xray machines
i make black chicks gasp

Thats only because you're white. They are also gasping because breathing is probably hard since most likely they weigh 400lbs

hello old friend, its good to see you once again



bottled like 3 weeks ago, never had it so fresh

I've missed reading about Joe's alcoholism

90 schilling by odells, my staple

still killing liver, dont worry bro

@ dan
from your text, figured it would be easier to type it out here
abyss is november, generally thanksgiving weekend iirc
matt is stand in line beer, and hotd only announces shit on facebook, so if you stalk them and let me know ill go up there. i love matt so np.
black butte i still see, ill pick you up a couple today if i can get out there.

matt update:
"Ready for a release, how about 2? Matt 2013 and Otto 2013 will be released 10/11/13 at 10pm Bottles available for tasting starting 10/10/13"

fucking a, so i wouldnt get home from portland until the middle of the night. and by the time i did get up to portland after work i would already be number 500 in line.
sigh

had the founders mango habenero beer

i lied, i had one sip and realized if i continued i would have a diarrheal situation on my hands during the night.

The fact that this beer comes in a large format bottle is proof Founders is trolling us.
Worst beer I had in awhile. Its like candied pepper jelly.

It continues to baffle me that the "limit" you can purchase is an entire case. Like the first 60 people in line arnt going to buy it all up and laugh at everyone else who stood in line for 3 hours for nothing.

and the regulars of ba/hotd will defend it forever. i think the hotd regulars are some of the most entitled crew around.
but really, a 10 pm bottle release?

I wonder if this is a "test" to see if it reduces the amount of people who get in line X hours early. IE: if the place is open for business until 9 which is when they close to ready for the bottle share, will people only start lining up at 9? Just a wild guess honestly as I have obviously never been to hotd, jus trying to understand the logic.

in part, i get it. this makes it easier to get the special release beer to your regular customers. but like you said, its the case limits that make it so you really dont give a shit about getting your beer out to a large number of people. its an interesting way to do this to say the least. im going to poop on ba about splitting a case if someone will attend. im clearly driving up to portland and hanging out at a bar for a few hours before heading back out to drive home. so unless i want to get a hotel or sleep in my car... still a very interesting way to limit the outsiders stealing your beer...

Joe, did you buy all the bottles of HOTD Dave @ $2,000 per? If so, can ya send me 2? I'll send you the equivalent 98 cases of nugget nectar as a thank you/trade.

2k is a steal. AND its for a good cause.

Two brothers DIPA
