    Anyone know if these have come and gone in Chicago already? I thought I saw a local shop tweet about receiving them a couple weeks back, but I never made it in to grab any.

    i am half tempted to try and pick up another 6. A nice, heavy, not too pricey stout to get me through winter. i've got a 6 pack +1 for now.

    Nope. Just had samples of all 3 stouts and a taste of Four Roses yellow label. I thought I read that they blend the 2 beers, but now I'm beginning to think it's a blend of the grain bills more so than the beers themselves...that would make a lot more sense.

    Purchased three bottles earlier... would have gotten more, but I'm poor. If I drink one (plan to tonight) and really, really dig it, I'll just be going to get myself some more tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

    Is it really that readily available in most places? Seems like most places in north/east Oakland County have single bottles available or didn't get it at all. I'm still looking to try one. Hopefully I'll come across some this week.

    My bottle shop was limit 2 and they probably ran out that day. I picked it up on the chance that I didn't see it anywhere else. Then I walked into a Meijer and a case of it was on the shelf. So yes and no?

    It didn't hit Holland until last Wed, and there was at least a case or two at Meijer as of a couple days ago. Might have gotten scooped up by now, but it seems like a $19 sixer is a tough sell around here.

    Is this long gone in Northern Oakland County? I'm only looking for a couple and figured I'd ask before I try the IP ISO.

    As far as I know, this has NOT hit northern/north east Oakland county. I have been looking and have not seen it anywhere.

    Had this a few times now. I really think it's an incredible beer. Little hot up front which leads me to believe it will age like a boss. I think this beer, after age, will be batch 9,000 worthy. God I hope they put some in barrels!

    If anyone on the lakeshore is still looking, there are 5 six-packs left at the southside Meijer in Holland. 17.79 each.

    It's gone in northern Oakland county AFAIK. Picked up bottles from 3 difference places over the last week, and called others that have sold out.

    If either of you would like to trade for some, hit me up. I'm currently ISO Saturn, among others. Thanks.

    Spoke with the buyer at my local store here in the Chicago suburbs and he said he would have it next week.

    So since Bell's is temporarily distributing to Colorado for GABF, think they will send a few cases that way?
