    I'm just curious, anybody have any idea what BA Dark Lords sold out the quickest? I was in Group D, got my bottles at around 6:00, and they had everything but Vanilla left.

    Napa county was tapped at like 8:00 or somethin, it was late. I had it at stout fest last year, some wine barrel, someone's gotta know.

    Vanilla sold out first
    Then De Muerte
    Then Port and Moscatel must have been close. Both were available during Group E at around 9:30 pm.

    Tapped pretty late. 7 or 8. Laffler said Cabernet and some other wine barrel, then blended. Tasted like a non-sweet Bramble.

    I wonder if it was the Wine Barrel BCBS from FOBAB?

    No. BCS Napa has Brett in it. The wine barrel BCS from FoBAB did not.

    Just a logistical question. If I had a ticket and came later (say 9pm), ho long of a wait at that point is it to get bottles of DL and the variant?

    I can help you acquire replacement Very Mad Cow if you want. If anything else is still around in Chicago to purchase that you lost c/o airline, I can get that for you too. Sorry to hear that. BM me if interested.

    The Stone Espresso BA Self Righteous was excellent and unexpectedly so.

    No mention of the BA Ice Grill. No love or no taste? I was a fan. Also, was surprised by how much I appreciated the Muscotel off the tap.

    I'd reply with what Laffler and Goose Island tweeted to me about it the other day, but I think i've spread enough Goose Island information for now/ever.

    You mean the other FFF BA beer besides BA Black Sun that ruined the pub for everyone after 1pm in 2012? What more is there to say about it :slight_smile:

    BA moloko was awful (was at the guest tap tents). tasted like drinking a block of wood. not barrel character; think of eating a 2x4.

    As I was not present then, I am not familiar with the incident. But, my curiousity is now peaked!

    IIRC, around 1PM they stopped serving BA DL until the kegs of BA Black Sun and Ice Grille kicked.

    I just remembered... I gave away a 12oz bottle of Black Note for a pretzel necklace. I think it had like 5 two inch long pretzels. Hah whoops. What can I say? I was in a great mood, the beer was flowing and I thought I'd share the wealth.
