    I'm kind of curious about this one as well, last one I got in trade was about 3 years ago now. Do they still make this? If so, how often, if not, when was the last time it was made?

    Im kinda curious about this as well as far as price, bottle count, distribution, ect on BA Abominable for it has been on my radar for a while now.

    Got one in a trade for a LeBleu. No idea if others would consider that a balanced trade, but both parties seemed happy to do it. Looks like there may have been 3 batches, with the first on tap only. My bottle is from Feb 2012. No clue on bottle counts, but seems low.

    Good luck, OP! Sounds like some more limited Westbrook or COAST could get it done.

    Are we talking about Fremont or Stoudt's?

    Also, Exiled, didn't someone end up sending you a BA Old Abominable after your exhausting ISO/FT if I remember correctly? (if we are talking about Fremont then nevermind)

    We are talking about Fremont. Though I did finally get a Stoudts BA Old Abominable, in which I still havnt returned the favor. :slight_frown: (soon I promise!)

    Not sure on bottle count but it ran about 16-20$ depending on where you got your bottle. Hope that helps

    This is a phenomenal, under the radar beer and something us Washingtonians can be proud of. I have never been requested for it in a trade so am not sure what it goes for. I'd be open to trading some though :slight_smile:

    Yep, $16-$20 a bottle. Pretty much gone at this point. I am currently trading some for (512) WBPP and DL 12.

    And yes, it is awesome!

    Well, seeing that the Fremont Bourbon Barrel Abominable Ale finished behind King Henry in the Wood and Barrel Aged Strong Beer category at the recent World Beer Cup, I'd say that a King Henry 1:1 would get a deal done.

    Yes. I have a habit of putting old in front of it, no idea why.

    Also, Sherlock, do you think OLD Abominable won a medal this year seeing how it's rated a 3.71 and Isn't wood or barrel aged?

    Use your head man.

    :wink:
