Hey CrystallineEntity - having your Rye Saison tonight. That's a good beer, man. Enjoying it quite a bit. Appreciate it.
I figured it's close enough...
Broke open another one of the brews; one of the ones that was swapped to me. Unfortunately I didn't keep anything resembling records, so I've no idea. "12-12-12" was written in Sharpie on the silver cap, if that rings a bell.
First off, surprisingly carbed still. I figured after two years a lot would have died off, but no.
The taste is also quite smooth, and basically what I remember last year. Deep, earthy, raisiny, and a little oxidized. UPDATE: After letting it warm up, there's HUGE chocolate. It's awesome stuff.
All in all great, and nice to remember it again!

So... anyone else still got bottles? I gave one of mine to a friend, after discussing Wee Heavy, and popped one open. I was expecting it to be awful, as it's been in a garage through the blistering SC summer. I was wrong! The wet cardboard oxidation I had last year is gone, so either that was a bad bottle, or it's no longer present somehow.
Extremely light hiss, with no noticeable carb while drinking.
Poured into a goblet, no head.
Heavy raisin and molasses aroma.
Beautiful fig and roasted malt flavors, with no alcohol or hop flavors at all.
Thick cereal aftertaste.
Mild legs in the glass, maybe like a pinot noir.
