        Copped these a few weeks back. The regular is still on shelves around here.

        Maybe so. Maybe not

                Beautiful beer innit?.. Both fresh and aged… If you want some (more), let me know though... This is seasonal: made once a year and usually gone by spring...

                    Any stand out recommendations for tomorrow night? I have only had the Kwak on draught so far, and not looked too deeply into the bottle list

                          @Alex , I'd also try the Boon Marriage Parfait. It's not my favorite gueuze out there, but it's really solid, and that's a great price for a legitimately good bottle of gueuze.

                          As for me, I had this 2012 De Cam Oude Lambiek a couple days ago. It wasn't quite as good as the 03 yet, but it was super, super nice.

                          I literally bought 5 bottles this Feb 2012 bottling just recently. Nobody cares about De Cam for some inexplicable reason, and this bottle has a particularly average for great lambic on Untappd because many users apparently buy this without know it's actually supposed to be still, think it's gone bad, and give it a horrible rating (how you end up with nearly 6 year old lambic without having a clue what the bottle is about is beyond me).  😃 😃 😃

                          As for the notes, it had an incredible funk that developed even more over the 2 hours that I sipped on half of the bottle (so tasty that it was hard to make it last that long). It had a strong apricot/peach vibe, with a hint of that diacetyl flavor I mentioned on a recent 2010 Fou Foune (buttered popcorn), a bit of citrus, and then a whole green grape/white pepper vibe that was super interesting. So complex and delicate, and just so enjoyable. De Cam can be a bit hit or miss, but I've only ever had one bad bottle from them, and it was probably just bad because of bad storage.

                            2009 and 2012 labels were re-used for later bottles… So it might be 2015 or 2016...

                                    Yesterday I drank me last Stille Nacht 2013… It was bloomin fantastic... I thought to meself "I need some more 2012/ 2013s"...

                                    Checked some local 2ndhand forum this afternoon... Found a guy from another part of the country selling 6 2013s and 4 2012s... Contacted him... He tells me he's going to a small beerfest in my city, today...

                                    So, in short, about 24 hours later after me downing the last 13...

                                      2012 Oude Lambiek labels were not reused, only some other 2012 labels (more 2009 than 2012 though, and 2009s have oddly been used more recently than 2012 even). Oude Lambiek hasn't even been produced at all since 2012, and only 2 runs have ever gotten import to the US. So, these are the real deal. FWIW, I even double checked this info with one of the guys who runs lambic.info, and he was completely certain my bottles are legitimately Feb 2012.

                                        But yeah: recently had to break the news to an American who thought he had scored a 75cls 2009 bottle... He checked and the label said 375mls...  😃

                                        Anyway... Fucking tricky...

                                          Been sitting on this one a while for me….about 8 months. Less coffee and more barrel than when fresh. A good beer that is easy to find.
