Had a 2010 the other night & it was really good! Most 2009 seem to be infected. Wish I had some '07 & '08.
I can only vouch for the quality of the 2010, and I too have heard about the bad batch of 09 (although it wasn't all of it). Haven't seen nor tried anything 09 or older, but I was very pleased w/ how the 2010 turned out a year later. There's not hardly any vertical tasting reviews when I looked, and none w/ the 2011 yet (although everything I've seen has been impressive thus far for this years batch)....but here's one I took a look at a while back that has the 2007-2010: http://thebeercave.blogspot.com/2010/12/2010-deschutes-abyss-release.html

Howdy All:
Regarding the Pappy and the BTAC, I have been talking to store owners and buying other booze from them to make sure i could get some when they got theirs. I was lucky enough to find the PHC Wheater at a store that I was getting some of the Pappy from.
I also contacted the distributor to get an idea what stores around me would be getting some this year which was helpful. I have learned quite a bit about how liquor is distributed around me and have learned that some of the stores I used to frequent who would tell me they were ordering every week and when it came back to the state would get some were just wrong.
I have spent a lot of time driving around and stopping at various shops and getting to know the people who work there and it has been a fun time and I feel very fortunate this season.
There is something special about a great bourbon along with a great cigar.
Best regards, tony

Picked up a few beers this evening:
Told the guy at the store that I'm into sours and like the Duchess. The Bitter & Twisted seems like it might wind up being very different, but good. Looking forward to the Rodenbach a lot. And the banana bread one just looked too good to pass up.

I once mixed that Banana Bread Beer with Young's Double Chocolate Stout. Quite tasty!Picked up a few beers this evening:
