I drank a LOT of Unibroue on Wednesday (Terrible, Fin du Monde, Edition
2005, Maudite, and Ephemere Apple and Cassis, the latter of which was
surprisingly good), and it all tasted at least as good as before. Noted that
cork problem, though. Also talked to a person pretty high up in the company
who I have known for over five years who told me that Sleeman has not
interfered with production at all, and that things were running pretty much
as before. They seem pretty happy with the results, and noted that Sleeman
had really done their homework before making the offer.
