Unable to open bottles

[BWT]

I have a full batch of Muntons IPA in bottles (bottled4/4/09) i have just tried to open these and they are spuing beer everywhere even the ones which have been in the fridge since yesterday are gushers. When opening the sediment lifts from the bottom of the bottle along with an efferscent stream of bubbles.
The question is should i try opening these and return to the FV or simply pour them down the stank I suspect the fermentation was incomplete it stuck at around 1.016

Are u able to lift the cap a little to let some gas out and reseal it? Doing this every couple of days should get the gas down to a respectable level

I've had the same problem last night with some Milestone Olde Home Wrecker. It was bottled about 4 and a half weeks ago (batch primed with 80g of sugar). Oddly though the bottle I tried last Monday was fine, but the one last night went all over the place (I was left with a bottle 1/4 full of beer and 3/4 froth). The next bottle (opened in the sink) also frothed up but not half as much as the previous one, poured into a big jug and then into a pint glass.

I've got one in the fridge for tonight and will see if that helps, but this is the first time this has happened and I can't understand how three bottles from the same batch could be so different.

try fridge cooling some bottles.
more co2 is absorbed into the brew in cooler temps.
stand in the fridge for a couple of hours before drinking to see if that calms it down a bit.

I had a weird situtation with one bottle out of an entire 5 gallon batch.
All the other bottles have been spot on carbonation-wise, but this one bottle made me think I'd won a Grand Prix.
I had a winners podium moment unexpectedly, which was funny at first, but I got some scorned looks and told to get the dishcloth!

The one bottle was probably infected, probably had some dirt in the bottle or something.

if you batch prime then that bottle was probably the last one filled. the sugar does naturally drift down a bit so the last bottle probably has way more priming sugar than it should. it happened to me with a bottle of stout that pretty much blew foam about 2 feet in the air.
