    I've searched the new forums and found nothing. I'd just put up an ISO, but my trade plate is full and I don't want to be one of those guys asking too much for a Beat. If one for one wouldn't work, then what would? Is regular Aphrodite more likely? Feel free to post if you have bottle price or bottle counts.

    Wasn't the last batch of 2011 Rum OoA only like ~200 bottles? I doubt a 1:1 would happen for that. Not sure about the regular OoA.

    Some 2011 numbers:
    Rum Oil = 206 bottles ($18 according to their blog)
    Regular Oil = 144 bottles, then 348 bottles, then 240 bottles ($14 according to their blog)

    Very good to know. Thanks. So the regular was released in 3 batches in 2011?

    Yes and in my opinion batch 3 is the best, but they are all stellar.

    Batches 1 or 3 are the ones to look for with Oil of Aphrodite. Damn fine beer.

    i couldn't stand the 1st 2011 batch of oil. kopi luwak oil on the other hand <3 <3 <3

    daysinthewake: the question shouldn't be "can b5 beat land XXXXX beer", the question should be, "how many b5 beats will it take to land XXXXX beer"... in today's iso:ft market, the answer to that is either 1 beat for 2x rums or 12x beats for 1 rum depending on what side of the trade you're on.

    You know that scene in se7en with the glutton? Yeah, well I often imagine myself sitting there but instead of spaghetti sauce or whatever it was, hes funneling kopi oil down my throat for days on end: morbid yet beautiful.
