      Managed the tricky feat of picking up a bottle of Amundsen’s End of Darkness #1  a month or so back. I’ve subsequently heard bad things and decided to cellar it. Then I got an option on another bottle of the same batch and thought, I might as well drink this then decide.

      It’s drinkable now but has quite the bitter aftertaste. That’s mostly the cherries I think. The brett isn’t fully developed yet, otherwise it’s thick and oily and not sweet at all. I think I like it and I think with two years on it’ll be great. But it’s also $40 for 250ml…. [emoji849]

          Only just noticed that the bbe date on that End of Darkness is this September… is that the brett at work? Either way it puts me off the idea of aging it for two years.

              I take it back, the big bottle is $40 this was half that. On reflection, still not worth another bottle.

                  I’ve decided that this will be a mutually beneficial arrangement. I will indeed look after it. It will look after me.

                  Great colour.

                          They bought a minor stake in the brewery I work for not to long ago and we've had a good bit of their product come through.  If you see their Sumpin' Easy it's a great IPA…

                            Last night: The second of Amundsen’s limited release. Only six bottles of this made it north. This one was actually worth the money and fuss it took to get it. Glorious.

                              That looks delicious.

                              If you can get hold of it then do. Living in the EU the internet may be your friend.

                                I’m unsure how it works. Norway is EEA has kept it’s duty laws making shopping alcohol across borders impractically expensive. I thought it was free movement within the EU proper.

                                You’re certainly right about Belgium.

                                    ABW's take on a Mexican lager, great for the Texas heat. Drank like 3 of these and didn't even realize it…

                                    St. Arnold Not A Collaboration double dry hopped IPA.
                                    Very tasty and fresh, glad I sourced a 4 pack of this.

                                    More to come, bought a load of beer last night…
