    Xull at TW is mispriced .It was calculated on 6 x 16oz price, should be around $15 for the 4pk ,if you look on beers to go @ Oliphants webpage that is the price.

    LOL I even asked an employee if it was the right price. He said "yes it's the right price!!!" With a very nonprofessional attitude. I then told him it was over priced.

    Anyhow I bought a 4 pack last night at Chicones in Hudson for $14.99 plus less tax than Woodbury. had a can last night, it's ok nothing great. Chocolate, a little roast, a little heavy toasted bread, maybe a hint of dark fruit. It is smooth, and not overly sweet.

    Serious question - there are so many Oliphant beers out there and their marketing and beer descriptions sound amazing but I just never like them. I tried them early days and gave up, but interested to hear what the hell is actually good from them??

    Another post - fresh King Sue landed and this batch is incredible. This tastes like OG King Sue to me. Blown away.

    I don't have much experience with them. I've had few different beers before, but don't remember which ones. I would like to visit their taproom eventually.

    Anyone had it yet? No reviews to date & despite Forager's stellar reputation with the dark arts I'd like to see a titch of feedback before laying out $30.

    I've only had 1 can so far, and I thought it was good enough. Have no problem with buying a 4-pack.

    And of course, you say that as someone who also posts your reviews on Untappd. I know I can always rely on you to give the heads up when local breweries are putting out expensive bombers filled with infected junk, and I'm assuming you would like to avoid replicating that experience again! :grin:
