    Had it on tap and in cans. What a fantastic beer. It's anywhere from $13-$15 for a 4 pack in the NYC/NJ area.

    They fixed it. Major pricing flaw with the distributor. Now it's 13.25 which is more reasonable. Nathaniel's will credit you the difference if you bought one yesterday at the higher price. Not sure if all the other shops will be as awesome about it. I am pretty stoked to try this one.

    Thanks for your note chefduff2! I'll have to see what BOTW does - I purchased it there before Nathaniel's got their order. Nathaniel's always does a great job with excellent pricing and service.

    Wanted to say something but couldn't think of anything that didn't sound dickish. Suffice to say I am surprised anyone who would purchase a coffee beer wouldnt like this one. oh well

    Heads up! Long story short, some distributors were accidentally invoiced too much for this beer and the error was just caught. Retailers will be refunded the difference, and soon you should see a drop in price. Give it a few days to shake out.

    Maybe what I got was injected or something - I will provide you the three remaining cans and if you think they are the example of a great beer, you should trade in your Craft Beer Card forever!

    The beer poors identical to Surly's Moe's or Cocao Bender and I was hopefully until that first sip. After that, the remaining beer went down the drain! So if you want the cans - let me know and they are your's...

    You'll lose a lot of the coffee. If you think it has too much coffee age away. If you like the way the coffee is now, you should drink it now. Aging a can should be fine at least for a year.

    It's a better deal to be sure, but I don't like the limitation of a growler, I mean we are talking 64oz of a 10%abv beer. If I were splitting it I'd go that route for sure.
