        :o 😉 😉

        That's like saying, "Man, I was cleaning out my garage today and remembered i had this S550 AMG. Might drive it some day…"

        Great score!  I've only seen one other from that year, and I didn't get to taste it.  Would love to hear/see your impressions/pics if you ever open it.

        Wish I could find some of the 2015 Utopias, sounds brilliant:

            Haha it was a gift way back in 2011.  It's dusty.  If the Pats win tomorrow I'll toast it. Outside of that I'll be opening a couple different Treehouse brews tonight or tomorrow.

                The taster was a gift from Sam Adams.  In order to get it I had to give them the serial number on the bottle and they mailed it to me. Pretty classy.

                      My regular trading partner offered me some, but I didn't feel like having to ship him two million bottles of Cantillon in return…

                          I'll keep an eye out. I'm going to a pretty good tasting/trading event next weekend and Sam Adams will actually be there.

                            Tonight's lineup, shared with mom in law

                            Treehouse Alter Ego - almost perfect


                            Wormtown Be Hoppy - too bitter from front to back not well rounded

                            Big Elm Transformer IPL - their first try, just ok, doesn't hold a candle to Jacks Abbey in this category, which brings me to this..

                            Jacks Abbey Hoponius Union IPL. Very crisp very solid. No coffee table because kids so I improvised.

                                My holiday is off to a BRILLIANT start… Best aged beer I've ever drank... One of the best beers I've ever drank, period... I was scared it'd be past its point, being a 2008 bottle... Fuck me running - it sure as fuck wasn't... Slowly gushing foam when opened, poured a beautiful chestnut with a bit of cognac coloured ale that prominently had port in the nose...

                                The balance... The balance... Dear gods the balance... I'm pretty sure this was at its absolute PEAK...

                                    Buy the oldest ones you can find nearby and cellar them… Not sure what state you're from, but they're sold in the US...
