    According to Favorite Brands Houston tweet anyway.

    This one doesn't seem to get the love but I've recently had two from last year and they're drinking very well. Can't wait to pick up a few of these!

    Dunno when though :astonished:

    Maybe it makes it up to Austin? I would love to have some black crack this year.

    I had this last year and it was very good. Hope to run in to it this year.

    Still have a couple left over from last year.... will be interesting to compare, if I can get it fairly easily.

    Can anyone confirm what I've heard...that it's barreled exclusively in Garrison Bros. Whisky barrels?

    It was a bit too buttery / diacetyly for my tastes last year.

    Their was some variation bottle to bottle. I had some great bottles and some meh bottles, and a friend had an infected bottle. I will not pass it up if I see it.

    Had one a few months ago that had been kept in the fridge since I bought them and it had developed a bit of a sour flavor. The other one I had fresh was pretty damn good.

    Has anyone seen it lately? It was not a difficult find last year. Heavy diacetyl last year. Cellared a couple. Worth a try again. Hopefully better.

    It's a very expensive keg. Expect draft prices to be high.
