We took some Black Albert samples out of a bourbon barrel early September and bottled them of in magnums. Not ready for sale yet but to check out quality and towards the LCRBM08 meeting in Holland. Some Magnum bottles were opened too at the Alvinne Proefzolder lately.

Should the beer be on the site yet in that case?

I guess you are probably right, strictly taken I guess it should not be on the site yet. But where does one start? We take quality samples from time to time, share it with professional people and friends, just to know what they think about that beer at that time. Naturally we cannot help some are so enthusiastic about a brand, they launch reviews or ratings before actual bottling, both negative or positive.

It starts when the beer is available for sale to the public.

I really would not mind that all those ratings would be erased, then again I don’t know if all those raters would be happy. They sampled a brand, at a certain time, and judged it, good or bad... Cheers, Urbain

yup,according to the ratebeer bylaws,a beer needs to be "commercially available" before it can even be rated.so if this isnt the case with these two.then they (and any others)should be erased completely.

Agreed. This and dirty horse are no different from the ratings of The Shit that got nuked. If that was nuked, both of these should be nuked since they are not commercially available beers.
