clingman71 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I acquired a few as well and still see it on the shelf here and there. My only concern is it probably needs to be drunk sooner rather than later which is not always my strong suit. Last night I found a DFH Midas Touch that had been hiding on a back shelf since mid 2012. A bit flat with none of the honey and spice I remember so I suspect it had long since past its peak..Not neccesarily the case regarding Blushing Monk. We did the entire Backstage series on NYE. While not all held up, CBS was a disappointment, the original Blushing Monk held up really well. That led me to buy a few more than I would have with the '15 Blushing Monk release.

emr454 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Weihenstephaner Korbinian last night. This beer reminded me that I need to pay more attention to the German beer section at the grocery store! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This beer reminded me that I need to pay more attention to the German beer section at the grocery store!I love Weihenstephaner, but I haven't seen that one. Have you tried a dunkel from either Hofbrau or Hacker-Pschorr?Monday night, I snuck a few Powerline Porters into Fast and Furious 7. I'm not a huge porter fan, but they hit the spot. Last night, I went with Galaxy Hero, which I was happy to see around again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Reserve Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I had a Hopslam about a week go, I was stunned by how much it had deteriorated since January. The beer was kept cool and in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry in WashDC Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Now that outdoor work is fun (i.e., no parkas, snow shovels, thick gloves, or wet feet), I'm tidying up the utility room by taking some odds and ends bottles of holiday collections outside with me. Today, it was a Brooklyn Brewery Pennant I discovered behind a box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, better luck for you on the rest. This bottle was good and showed no degradation, though I don't quite get the hyper-love it gets. I mean, it's good, but...That said, I haven't noticed any change since I got into these a couple of months ago. I'll say, I kept one over from last year and had it just before this years showed up, and I thought it was nice, as well. Not as much pop, but tasty nonetheless.

Just doesn't have that full bore hop flavor. I'm sure the remaining to bottles will be the same as the most recent one.Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does the 2015 version of Blushing Monk stand up to the original? I never got a chance to try one of the original bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dusty Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Haven't contributed to this thread in awhile and here is one that may not be widely distributed but rocks it on a warm spring day!

Darwin Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I do like Guinness, Deschutes Obsidian Stout & Black Butte Porter during the "winter".
