Regular Bourbon County Stout 2015 Infection

[abecall98]

So, I am hearing rumblings along the facebooks and the other site about a possible infection to the regular bourbon county stout as well. I've also heard about the Proprietors 2015 going south.

It seems most the bottles people have been posting have been the October 21st, 2015 bottling date with a 14.3% abv.

I have a case of bottles from an earlier with a 13.7%, and they have been fine so far.

If anybody has any reports on good or bad bottles, let's hear them dudes. Hopefully this issue is a very small batch, and mostly isolated to Florida.

Just opened a bottle yesterday from an unopened case of mine. (13.7%) and thankfully it was fine

I wish I owned a business with as much brand loyalty as Bourbon County. Their sales will still increase this year, even after all this talk.

Has there been any microbial analysis or just a bunch of twats claiming infection.... That seems to happen constantly these days with no substantiation.

Not that I know of, I just opened this up to see some discussion on the topic. I have just seen a lot of comments from different sources specifically about the October 21st bottling, and wanted to see if anybody else on here has had similar experiences with that bottling date or issues with any other date.

I like talking on here best compared to the other places.

One claimed infection due to it being overcarbed and tart, the next post said definitely infected because there was no carb and metallic, so yes, infection, definitely #science

I opened this weird purple label bourbon county and it was so infected it tasted like sour cherries and I had to pour it out.

Well, I mean, it the only beer like it... The only beer. Never mind those other 10 imperial stouts that sit on the shelves even in places like Louisiana.



Yes, even the bbl aged ones that are cheaper and taste better... Because those weren't made by InBev?

I drank one of the October bottles 2 nights ago and the only thing I noticed was that feeling of self-regret for not buying another case because I only have like 5 left.

The problem might be coming from Florida?

Only logical solution is this:

Let me tell you how this UUUUUUUUGE wall I am going to build is magic. Did I tell you how magic this wall is? The really UUUUUUUUGE wall. I know about magic walls. I know everything. Well let me tell you how magic this wall is. Its really UUUUUUUUGE. This UUUUUUUUGE all I am going to have built. And guess what? I am going to have Mexico pay to build this magic wall. This magic wall, do you know what is it does. Scientists designed this magic wall. I know scientists. I know very famous scientists. This wall that Mexico will pay for, let me tell you we let other countries walk all over us. We are getting killed on trade. I know business. I am a very successful business man. I am the best at business. I am a builder, I am going at making things happen. I will make America great again. But no more of these brown people. They're every where. America will be great again, I will make America great again. I see the future, when my gorgeous daughter Ivanka is Queen of America, when America is really great. Ivanka is very sexually attractive, don't you think. I can't tell you how often I really wish she wasn't my daughter. Sexually I mean. This America I see is a really really great America where all the people are rich and have blonde hair and blue eyes and I will be Supreme Emperor! Well this UUUUUUUUge wall, the magic one that some of my scientists friends built, let me tell you what it does. It is very complicated, but I understand it, you probably wouldn't understand it anyways. Jeb wouldn't understand it. Jeb is a big fat doodyhead. I am a scientist. You wouldn't believe how much I know. I am smart. Really smart. Much smarter than you. This UUUUUUUge magic wall, which I am going to get Mexico to pay for because I know business. I am an extremely good business man. The best. Truly. This wall makes everything behind it disappear.

I just opened

And is.... Really nice

 

[Doc1]

Florida here. This doesn't taste infected thankfully. But you guys scared me.

Thanks for the feedback dude!

 

[rrrjjj]

I opened this one yesterday because I wanted to disprove what I've been hearing. Unfortunately mine was not what it normally is. I could taste a lactic quality but still pretty good...just off. But what qualifications do I have anyways?

 

[masterovkhaos]

No one here will believe me because I'm a twat from Florida, but my friend opened a October 21 bottle on Wednesday and it was metallic, tart, overcarbed, and generally undrinkable. I opened my bottle from September right after and it tasted delicious.

Feel free to tell me that I'm wrong.

Oh you may be right, but it may be spotty as I'm sure a batch that size would still be massive and could have some variation.

 

[Doc1]

And at first I thought mine tasted slightly off, but it was in my head. It certainly wasn't a definitive taste difference for me.

Hey Jim liquiddegenerate

You're right that not necessarily all bottles with that date are necessarily bad. A couple people here have said their October 21 bottles were fine, and I believe them because the off flavors in the one I tried were way too bad not to notice.

Liked for "twats"

 

[jbeezification1]

I thought this years Huna tasted a little tart and slightly metallic. ****ing Florida.

 

[ObiWanKushnobi]

Straight up butterscotch, vanilla, caramel and bourbon with zero infection.

 

[liquiddegenerate]

Hey Jim liquiddegenerate

Not good. Definitely similar flavors to the Barleywine

 

[MarcatGSB1]

Oh **** here we go... Reputable sources with pics of drain pours oh my!

Well I wasn't worried from all the Facebook jibber jabber, but your jibber jabber I believe. That sucks. Gene who got his bcbs down here, too when he was visiting.

Same happened for me a few nights ago. It was fine, but similar to opening fresh 2014 when I was used to '13, it wasn't fully what I'm used to for BCBS, but by the end of the bottle I wasn't complaining. None ended up in the drain...

 

[Der Fuchs]

This situation couldn't be funnier.

 

[JulianB1]

Put a 10/16/15 bottle in the fridge, will report back later for science.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but the one bottle I opened so far had a distinct hit of acetaldehyde (green apple) off-flavor. Hoping it's just young and that will fade with some time. It did get better as it sat out and warmed up.

I was only partially joking. It was the last bottle we opened that night and we opened it side by side (for some stupid reason) with one of the BA Xocoveza variants so there's a strong chance my palate was wrecked by then.

However I do recall a strange tart almost lactic taste to it. Not at all what I remember Huna being from years past.

 

[liquiddegenerate]

FWIW this was my second to last bottle and neither of them have been refrigerated until yesterday. Last thing I want to do is pour BCBS down a drain.
