    Well, that at least gives me some hope that I'll like it more.

    The 15 BA is completely different than 14. 2nd use vs. 3rd use barrels. 14 was only BA'd because they had to in order to move it to the new location. 15 regular is great, but 15 BA is absolutely amazing.

    Thanks man, I was gonna be content if I landed a bottle of regular. Now it sounds like I'm gonna have to sell my soul for a bottle of BA too!

    Also, you're the second person who mentioned the sub-par barrel aging of last year's. I feel a lot better, because I was really surprised how little I thought of it.

    It's referred to around here as barely-aged ha. Be on your toes when it hits Chicago. Been selling out here in MPLS in a matter of minutes. Good luck!

    Will we
    I don't think Chicago is going to see the barrel aged version. However I hope I am wrong.

    Maybe the guy at LP Binny's that I talked to just didn't know. I was there today at lunch and bought a bottle of the regular version but he didn't think they got the B.A. version in.

    I showed up at 1:15 and asked the service counter guy for Darkness, and he handed me one. I asked if they got any of the BA Darkness, and he said that they got a case and sold out in 10 minutes.

    Regular Darkness seems to have sold out most places last week, with BA Darkness appearing and disappearing this week quickly.

    I have a few extra bottles from being in MN the week after Darkness Day. If anyone needs a bottle, send me a private message.

    LP binnys confirmed that they got one case of BA (was told that while getting a non Ba around 1). South loop also confirmed to get one case of BA, was told by south loop beer guy that there were at least 6 guys loitering in south loop waiting for the delivery this morning.
