    Looking to some of the more seasoned traders for some advice. I really want to land CR and I'm wondering if anything on this list will do the trick.

    Cantillon St Lamnivus, Vigneronne, Classic Gueze, LP Framboise, LP Gueze
    FFF Dark Lord 2012, Baller Stout
    Founders KBS, CBH
    Parabola
    Abyss
    Eclipse (Elijah Craig 18)
    Dark, Dark Goose (mead from B Nektar)
    JP La Roja GR

    Thanks for your advice!

    I have traded for a couple of the CR B2, the last trade went like this: I gave up a Hunahpu's 11 & Darkness 11, and I received a CR B2 and a MOAS 11..Both parties were happy

    Hope this helps

    Cheers

    You are trying to say CR can be had for abyss and parabola?

    HAHAHA.

    Some of those would gain interest. Others would be cool extras.

    Believe he said MOST. Also, the OP was looking for some advice, which you clearly are not offering with this statement.

    As previously stated, a combo of some of those bottles should get it done though. Best of luck OP.

    Traded a BA Behemoth for mine. You shouldn't have a problem with those brews OP.

    I wish I knew. Any ISO I have put up for this has only gotten crickets. I guess it is a combination of too expensive and too limited to be had for anything reasonable.

    A beer that someone wants and thinks is worth a Chocolate Rain. Post an ISO to find out if you have one.

    My advice was that abyss and parabola won't get it done, it was implied.
    Further advice: I'd be surprised also if cbh, kbs, and EC get it done. Cantillons and the others combined, maybe.

    I i am wrong, please someone point to a trade where these beers the OP named got CR. i have no vested interest in this (potential) trade, just calling it like it is.

    I told the OP there were 2 bottles on his list I would trade my CR + a want/locals to match $. Haven't heard anything but I don't think it is too far fetched with a couple of those bottles.

    My trading partner and I agreed on Chocolate Rain for my Lou Pepe Kriek. Good luck!

    FWIW, I personally would not trade my CR for any of those beers $4$. Someone may do it for LP Gueuze + something else on the list, though. Having said that, I don't know much about Dark Dark Goose but have heard a lot about it over the past week or so and I am very intrigued.

    I traded a Fou Foune and a Founder CBH for a Chocolate Rain. I probably over-traded, but I received some amazing extras that I think more than made up for it (thanks gcphilli!).

    I've been thinking about putting feelers out for Chocolate Rain but after seeing this thread, I think I'll pass. Tough get!

    Got mine with a 2011 750ml Fou Foune. I'm sure if you combined the LP Gueuze and Lamvinus you could score one.
