Adam Vancil: I picked up some 2007 & 08 bottles from Monument Liquor in Concord during covid. Absolutely amazing. That was my overnight fishing beer of choice for years. I still like it.

It feels like a long lost keg was rediscovered? Drinks better than my recollection of having it fresh, unsurprisingly quite mellow now. Past its prime, but held up better than expected.

Irish MASMS: Wow, still on tap? They supposed to hit that last Friday
Adam Vancil: 🔥
Irish MASMS: Hey Adam are there any 07 or 08 left there at Monument? 😸
Adam Vancil: Irish M. I'm not sure. They weren't on the shelf. The guy working there pulled them from the back because we were talking about aging bottles. Go in and ask.
Irish MASMS: Noted. How bad was the markup?

Bottle
There is enough of an herbal and salt element to almost view this beer as a hybrid sour + fruited gose.

Can
Still had one more can from the Fall 2023 batch for Cellarmaker's 10th anniversary. About six months since canning, and that strong espresso streak when fresh has turned super chill. Coffee flavor is present but less forward. Mellow, deceptive 10.5% ABV.
No longer the glory days.
