Thanks. Here's an indication of how ####ty my week has been so far -- that is by far the most uplifting thing that anyone has said (or typed) to me this week. Don't get me wrong, that is actually a high compliment IMO. But I have to admit that I had somewhat higher goals laid out for myself this week when it started.I can't wait until you and Skylord give them a try so that I can read your opinions. I respect both of your beer tastes quite a bit.Now if that damn Kilgore Trout would hurry up with the Beermann's Barleywine, I'd be all set.I've generally found that the styles and beers that you mention every so often are beers and styles that I like when I try them. So your track record in terms of front-running my own "likes" is pretty well established for me.Now Furley on the other hand......I won't lie, but I will say this. I can seriously see some people hating this beer just because it is so different.See, this doesn't help. I only have three, and now I won't be able to bring myself to drink them. Couldn't you have just said, "It's crap. Drink it now to get it out of your house, and so it won't take up any space in your storage."? Would that have been so hard. Even better, tell people who have more than one of each batch to open every one they have so they won't be bamboozled into this great beer and thus have to wring their hands when deciding when to drink it.I mean seriously, lie to us.Oh, and I had one of my Beautifications tonight. Holy crap this is a good beer. Tried the Batch 001 first. This might be the most unique and interesting beers I have ever tasted, while at the same time being just damn good.
A word to the wise, let it warm a bit. A whole lot more comes though after this bad boy shakes off the chill.

I've been waiting patiently for this one as well.


I keep reading about putting beers head to head. How exactly are you comparing them? A drink of one then a drink of the other, etc?

It might be worth a trip to N. California.
That's at or near the top of my Wants List though. It gets high marks from the guys here, as does Younger.
