    Thank you captain obvious. :grinning: I was more saying why does that matter? If he's already saying "wow hella $$$" for a bomber what does it matter if its in a 6-pack.

    So much money for one case! I'd never buy a bottle because of how much it costs to buy 24 of them. I shop at Costco way too much...

    This sounds awesome and had it not been for me having to go to my court appointed alcohol class I probably would have went and threw down my somewhat hard earned $35 for this. O well, I'm sure this will pop up again somewhere down the line.

    Because every one of these shitty BA releases from FFF are the same and crazy over priced! If you like average BA beer for $35 a bottle, have at it! #Captain Obvious

    I thought BA Behemoth, Owde Engwish and Cognac Moloko were well above average. Can't comment on the Klaus varieties yet.

    I think the only one of those released recently during the BA FFF flurry releases has been Cognav Moloko though correct?

    Not that my opinion matters much, but I was able to taste both of the other BA Klaus varieties, and they were both pretty awful...glad I got to try them, though...

    I don't think it's even been a year since the anniversary party, so I'd call the whole thing a "flurry".

    Blast. Not that I had much hope for a plum porter anyway...who knows maybe I'll dig it? I actually DO think the idea of a bourbon/raspberry porter sounds awesome though. As long as it's better than the Schlafly raspberry/coffee stout I had a while back...blegh.

    I donno. Raspberry Bourbon Robert The Bruce wasnt overly amazing, and i would guess it would bode better for a scotch ale than a porter...

    BA Alpha Klaus is amazing. Got 2 bottles at DLD '12 and drank one and its ridiculously good.

    Let's think, potentially mediocre BA three Floyd's for $150 or a bottle of Dom Perignon and three Alpha klaus for a great holiday gift. I'd punch the asshole who gave me option one as a gift

    I know I shouldn't care but I can't help but be angered by this dbag. I sincerely hope no one is foolish enough to buy theses. I also secretly wish this guy gets stuck with his 3 bottles and his $105 investment because he obviously isn't in it for the beer.
