    Love Expedition, would love to try Black Note, but I’ve never even seen it. Sold out everywhere nearby seemingly instantly.

    It hit distribution last week in southern CA. Two bottle shops near me got cases with one bottle limits at $8 a bottle. I picked up two bottles because I hit the same shop twice as it sat on the shelves for at least two days. I heard the other shop went through their allotment within hours.

    Still floating around NYC in select spots and lots to be found in the Hudson Valley. Huge fan of this beer.

    Unbelievably good beer...never seen it in any store..only got to try it from a bar manager who kept it 'hidden' from the 'regular' beer drinkers..poor bastards.

    Have never seen this beer, but have thought it was a must-try at some point ...... just bought a single for 6.50 at local Wegmans (obviously bigger distro and quantity for 2017, there's no way this has been available in this store previously). Keeping this for next year or so, not sure I have a longer-waited-for want than this.

    In the past very little made it to NC--some places would get a case max.

    A little more making it this way now and that's great. My absolute favorite. To me the most integrated of the BBA stouts. Just perfect. 2017 did not disappoint.

    It's delicious fresh, IMO.

    If totalitarian IRS is anything like an "enjoy by stout"

    that would be pretty cool actually

    I second this. But it is also delicious aged. I found a 2016 the other day and drank it (before I got some 2017, or I would have done a side-by-side), still fantastic.

    For those in Ohio who have never even seen a bottle of Black Note, good news. Many Winking Lizard locations have added Black Note to their list while supplies last. To belly up you’ll need $8 a bottle. I did and am thrilled with the beer. Finally...[​IMG]

    I was surprised to see a single 4-pack on the shelf in MD and picked it up for $24.69. Haven't cracked one yet but looking forward to it!

    $8/bottle at a bar/restaurant is awesome!

    Found 2 4packs at a local liquor store that is definitely not known for the more rare craft beers. Bought one at 24.99. Went back a couple weeks later and the other 4 pack was still there so I bought it too. Better than BCBS imo.
