    Puerto Rico and Noble Grape has it. I kind of liked it as a novelty.

    There is some in Palatine, strip mall on the corner of Northwest Hwy and Quentin Rds. I think its called Mr A's or something like that. Doesn't look like much from the front but they had it as of today.

    Chiming in - I thought it was one of the best smelling beers that I've ever had. I wouldn't want more than 4 or 5 ounces, but that little amount was enjoyable.

    Some definitely have really liked it, and I am not entirely convinced that there isn't either some extreme bottle variation or consumer bias/self-convincing due to the name going on to boot.

    For my part it was one of the worst beers I had in 2011. I got no maple (or ale really) and all grossly medicinal phenolics and peat. It was more phenolic and off-putting than the Mikkeller Scotch bbl aged Black Hole. I also personally found the pink bottle an eyesore, though I do understand it was designed in the spirit of the actual bakery.

    I didn't really think this effort was too bad. And the novelty factor alone is worth the try. But i would highly recommend getting a couple people to split the 750ml with. Got mine from the Binny's in LP. Most liquor stores should have a ton--I heard Rogue made everyone buy at least 5 cases or they got no cases...

    Andersonville Wines & Spirits at Clark and Foster has a decent amount of it for $13.99. Cool bottle. Haven't opened mine yet to try.

    Take a shot of the cheapest maple syrup you can find, then smoke a cig. You will have saved $12.

    Ugh!! I live in Joliet and work in Lisle.....I got off early today and went to as may liquor stores as I could find in search of this Rogue Voodoo Doughnut!! Nearly everyone that (did) have it said they sold out of it fast.....Mallorys in Lisle was my first stop....the worker claimed they got 3 cases and they all sold within days!!! It's easier to get my hands on Dark Lord! WHAT THE HECK!!!

    If you make it to the city, it is in several smaller beers shops like puerto rico liquors and noble grape on Chicago Ave.
