    $12 or $13 for Chimay and Westmalle. Some friends and I have been discussing going in on a bottle of Utopia together, to defray the cost. So, nothing too expensive.

    I wasn't too fond of it for those reasons. Maybe it's settled down a bit with age. The first batch was on point.

    Since I'm pretty new to the trading forums, I've never the postings directly after DL Day.. would you say it's much more likely to score some of the BA DL variants (particularly Vanilla Bean) right after DL Day?

    $20 for The 1st Nail (The Pine Box anniversary beer brewed by Fremont). Was a cinnamon-bomb, kinda tasted like apple pie. Looking forward to seeing how my second bottle mellows over time.

    $160 for Utopias - worth it at least once - probably wouldn't buy again.

    I honestly cannot remember, so it must not have been that much. I'm pretty certain that I have yet to exceed $20 for a bomber or 750. It may even be yet to exceed $15. But if the beer struck me right, I might spring for it.
