Why is this beer still on the database?

I just read the Ratebeer Weekly so it is well known that the beer was bottles of Westvleteren 12 poured in a keg and then tapped as an experiment, plus I sent feedback about it a week ago.

Relax a bit. I’m sure Joet is working on it.

I can alias it to Westy 12 but I’ve never heard of this controversy so probably not qualified to do it

My understanding is that the local admin is permitting people who are prepared to highlight the magnitude of tasting context upon a beer rating through their own example, to enter their reviews, and it will be merged shortly thereafter.

For example, normally, Westy 12 is rare and expensive, and identified; at TCBW it was freely available, and anonymised. 2 huuuuge differences in context.

I think everyone before jookos was rating live, everyone else will be typing their reviews from a written backlog and have the opportunity to cover their "mistake". Fortunately the Finns and Estonians are an honest bunch and didn’t mind being seen as part of the experiment, and what you see is what they wrote.

Oooh, I see it’s at Koht - I’m going back for a re-rerate if there’s any left... If so, I shall get Anna to set up a blind experiment where I have two (top pour, bottom pour with yeast) St. B. Abts (a beer I once had alongside Westy 12, knowing which was which, and was completely unable to distinguish in any way) and Monky Business side by side, using the same template I used at the festival review them all, and see what transpires. I get 2 experiments out of one this way.

I’m pleased to see the absolutely sterling integrity of those who organised the unassociated Tallinn Crap Beer Festival the following day who went to great lengths (must have taken between 30 and 40 seconds to draw) to reassure their guests that no such prank was being pulled on them:

I’m aware of the situation. Just waiting for peeps to enter their backlogs and will alias it then.

Well, pouring the bottles into a keg is not exactly perfect handling of a beer. You will most likely get some oxidization which will not be beneficial for the beer. Also, putting CO2 on it and chilling it will increase carbonation. I’d rather see that this beer is marked as unrateable rather than merged with the original as the product wasn’t served as intended.

It’s a weekly Ratebeer news letter on releases, industry news, etc. A notice for the new one usually comes to the email address I have listed in my settings.

This is how it was tapped:



Seeing the foam in the pot, it probably was poured quite vigorously. Hooray oxidization. Also, a lot of volatile aroma compounds were probably released when pouring into the pot, so no surprise that the beer didn’t taste like usual.
