    I had the cherry one a while back. Quite something.

    Got 2x in trade from tai4ji2x when he was in the US. Many of the bottles reviewed here on BA came from him.

    Just found out it might not be the only one left. I got mine from a former brewer at Deschutes who said the magnums were never released commercially and that he only got 2 because he was brewing for Deschutes at the time. One he drank and the other he hooked me up with. I believe I probably assumed he was the ONLY brewer who got 2 but it seems that isn't the case.

    They have one at the brewery. In fact, I believe there is at least one bottle of every beer they've ever made (in particular the special beers.)

    They also keep cases of older vintages of their reserve series. I'd love to get my hands on some of that...

    I have a vertical of Deschutes Abyss from 2007. Just need the '06 to make it complete. I also have a few 2008 Dissidents that I value simply because it's an awesome beer. I'm cracking one at Thanksgiving in a Dissident vertical.

    What will you open if Obama wins?
    Also, this reminded me that I still have a Rumpkin from last year.

    Foothills Baltic Porter. Not the rarest or best I have, but it was the first beer in my cellar and I absolutely love that stuff.

    Definitely my BCBVS; I absolutely love vanilla flavored stouts, so I'm really looking forward to cracking this baby.

    Until a couple nights ago, I might have said my first batch Bitches Brew, which was absolutely delicious.

    They did make a few of these, though not very many. One was sold in a charity auction a couple years ago (along with a magnum of Double Bale Quail... quite sad I missed out on that).

    As for myself...

    It is such a brilliant marketing piece to date the year on the label. It increases the people buying more to age for verticals, if anything. My example, SN Bigfoot and Stone Vertical Epic. Both are good but it seems like every other person has a few of these in their cellar.
