2010 Mikkeller Devine Rebel

Mikkeller puts out some really nice beers like Beer Geek Breakfast, Rauch Geek Breakfast and Black Hole.  Add on a collaboration with  Brew Dog and  my expectations were rising  for Devine Rebel. I have heard some good things about this beer. The time came to taste the beer....
I opened the beer and heard the classic sound, then poured a flat copper colored beer.No head, no lacing and very few bubbles. The taste was unremarkable and quite disappointing.  I'm sure after reading Beer Advocate  seeing all of the positive reviews about the beer, I had purchased a bad bottle. Yes my friends, it happens. I spoke to Marvin at Distillers Outlet Liquor about my disappointment and he told me that there were a group of bottles that were flat and that his distributor had taken back some of the flat bottles. The moral to the story is that if a bottled beer is not what you had expected and missing head, carbonation and taste, you could have a bad beer or just maybe a just a bad bottle.Life is short, move on.
