    i would like a 6 pack, but to be honest, 1 would be great. i could either buy it or trade it, let me know which works best for you.

    What's available in Sao Paulo that you can't get in other parts of the world?

    You get a golf clap, then a punch in the mouth.

    I can't help you with the trade but add that shit to the database. It's not in there that I can see.

    Realistically speaking, you're going to need to find an extremely generous trader to send you Heady Topper. Even with a flat rate international USPS box, $60 in shipping is a lot, particularly for an unreviewed Brazilian rarity.

    It would be awesome if someone took a chance on this and Petroleo turns out to be the next M.

    didnt know it would be so expensive to ship, once i found someone on ebay that said it would cost 45us to send a six pack, i thought that 2 would be much cheaper. but you are right, i will need some luck. still, for me to send it would also cost some bucks, shipping costs here, as everything else, is much more expensive. just for info, one bottle of this petroleo costs here 10usd. cheers.

    Best of luck with your trade. I'd try over at ratebeer as well. Quick and dirty Google translation of the Top 50 Reviewers thoughts:

    Actually this beer was a beautiful creation.
    Totally black coloring cream with a high tan formation and short duration.
    Aroma chocolate, coffee and roasted / toasted. Aroma very good at first but could have a greater persistence during the tasting.
    Chocolate flavor and crisp, light toast, coffee and a light presence of a bitter end. Body and velvet / oily. Alcohol found in spite of being perceived properly inserted.

    Overall rating 4.0
    Aroma 7/10
    Appearance 5/5
    Flavor 16/20
    Feel 4/5
    Together 8/10

    Beer legendary flagship which was sung to the four winds its production, has done much deny suffering from anxiety. I was one of them!

    Finally in my glass this beer impresses just around the glass by the "blackness". Chocolate flavor, a beer as a dense oil. In the mouth, coffee, chocolate, prunes and hops. A beer warm, velvety and sweet bitter. The 12% alcohol is present but with much less intensity than is proposed.

    A beautiful 375 ml beer ... enough!
    Congratulations Joe, James and family Wals. Congratulations to LMP. Congratulations

    Beer very dark in color. Cream dark brown, of great consistency (keeping an oily layer above the liquid). In the aroma, notes of citrus fruits (particularly pineapple), coffee and chocolate. In flavor, the greater presence of coffee and dark chocolate. Excellent.

    Overall rating 4.5
