Totally up to you, but I usually put "From notes." At the start of any ratings that aren’t entered at the time of consumption.

Welcome! I joined in June of 2013 and then never logged back in until December of 2013 and had already had some 250+ beers on BrewGene and so I spent an entire weekend entering all those beers over a couple days before 2014 got here.

Welcome and if you’re in or near the Valley (Winchester, Harrisonburg, Staunton, Lexington), let’s get together sometime.

Unfortunately I started rating at the other site before I started regularly writing reviews, and this site makes on write a review, so some my reviews are pretty pathetic.

This is true for all of us sometimes, and some of us all the time. Welcome!

The firm number of freshly entered +4.0 ratings anchors you firmly in the positive-minded/enthusiastic/discerning/not-yet-disenchanted category of Ratebeerians.

Your MBI (Miserable Boozer Index= Beers rated 3.9+ / Total beers rated) has a healthy +10% ph level, aka not yet soured/jaded.

In fact, at 64% (33/51), it’s maniacally positive...start downgrading some random beers to gain yourself some street cred, will you?

Welcome!

I recently rated beers from my backlog from as far back as 1989... As long as the beer is still available. And yes, I always write something like "From backlog", or "From old notes" etc.

It will take some getting used to the rating levels, and the different algorithm here - that may be why when I transferred my ratings over they come off so high - though I am mostly a positive sort - unless I actually dislike a beer, I tend to not rate it below 3.5. Even beers which I did dislike, but could get some enjoyment out of, I rated in the 2’s.
