Headstrong Munich. Surprisingly good, and not the butter bomb my last few cans have been.

Can't even remember how many bottles we got through yesterday. 30 or 40? Somewhat of a blur. I'll try to get a picture

Floreffe triple from the SAQ. Pretty tasty with a lot of citrus flavour.

how'd you find that one jon? we opened one yesterday, and i think it's just a little past its prime. i've still got another one, plus '07 and '08. figure i'll do a little 4 year vertical when i can get some '09.

we also drank an '08 fff behemoth and an '09 central waters bourbon barrel barleywine. the behemoth was tasty as always. the bbbw was good, but seems like it needs a little time in the cellar. doesn't quite feel as "together" as the '08 batch did around this time last year.

I had an '06 on the weekend. It was very good, though I hadn't had it previously, so I can't compare it.

i've previously had 2 year old bottles (the '05 in '07 being the most recent) and LOVED it. tons of depth and complexity. this one seemed to have lost most of that, and i even got a bit of oxidation on it. could be batch-to-batch differences though too. i know the '05 IRS is the best i've ever had - both fresh and aged. more recent batches just paled by comparison.
