I bought 2 bottles of Russian River Damnation Batch 23 recently. A couple of days I opened one of them. I hated it. It was bitter with a metallic aftertaste. There were some other flavors, but the bitterness just dominated the flavor. I eventually poured out the last 1/3 of the bottle.
Did I get a bad bottle of beer from Russian River Brewing or do I just not like Tripels? Is this what this beer is supposed to taste like? I read reviews and ratings on Beer Advocate and RateBeer. I didn't taste anything like what was written. Assuming the remaining bottle is a good bottle, will it get better with age? Can you recommend a couple of other Tripels I can try to see if I just don't like this style?
The important thing is not to take low offers personally. It's about the person making the offer, not the seller. If you get an offer that you consider to be lo-ball, either ignore it or respond according to some of the suggestions above. Don't let it cause you to raise your blood pressure even one mm HG (1 unit of pressure). It's just not worth it.
Finally broke down and turned on the heat last night. A storm came through yesterday and last night was our first really cold night. I was tired of waking up to find it 61.
Picked up my new CPAP equipment today. Hopefully I'll start sleeping well tonight.
Sorry about your bad experience with Wellbutrin, Jacob. My neurologist wants me to switch to it to help with ADD symptoms. I'm going to push off that until I see how I feel after I am sleeping normally again.
Just a reminder not to take Rob's (or anybody else's) review too seriously. For many years, Rob's favorite headphone was (and still may be for all I know) the Darth Beyers.
Red vodka, of course!
Actually, the Vikings named it "Iceland" to disguise how nice it was there. They also named Greenland to make it seem more hospitable that Iceland, though it's much less hospitable.
Clever guys those Vikings.
