I know, I know .. it would be fine and I should just use them already :P<br /><br />I once had a really badly oxidised bottle of Orkney Dark Reserve though and I've found just it feels wrong to use them ever since.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09280318504737098116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-27156329015415049402011-03-01T12:43:18.410+00:002011-03-01T12:43:18.410+00:00You worry too much, Mark :) I always reckoned that...You worry too much, Mark :) I always reckoned that if the Germans will sell beer in them, I can use them for my own beer (as long as they aren't green glass!).

I just can't trust them. Oxygen permeability worries me with long term storage and it just feels like they're too easy to "knock" open by mistake.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.beerbirrabier.com" rel="nofollow">BeerBirraBier.</a>Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09280318504737098116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-90349667547970483382011-02-23T11:49:10.539+00:002011-02-23T11:49:10.539+00:00I have always had a soft spot for Maximator from A...I have always had a soft spot for Maximator from Augustiner.

My former neighbour sent me some Salavator (for old times sake), perhaps the classic Doppelbock, and I quite like that. I also liked the <a href="http://thebittenbullet.blogspot.com/2009/03/get-off-your-hoss-and-drink-some-beer.html" rel="nofollow">Doppel-Hirsch</a>, and seemed to get more out of it than you did.Barry Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367655129107699025noreply@blogger.com
