    The only anniversaries that have had “big” to go bottles were the 10th annys for each. Although I guess the cellar did have 10 candles the year before.

    otherwise both should have tons of stouts on site.

    I’ll second this. Sweet? Heck yes. But so damn good.

    Stout week had 8 to-go bottles over the course of the week in Feb. Not sure if that keeps up, but...

    I still think it was extremely regretful that

    a) they did not use orange wax, and more importantly
    b) I did not get one

    I thought it tasted like off-brand oreos

    Yeah I thought it was good, but wasn’t anything special to me. I think I have become a strictly one or no adjunct type of person

    Might be the way for you. For me give me the adjuncts. And stuff besides vanilla lol. But I realize my opinion is probably the minority.

    Anyone tried D20 yet...?

    From over here on Team "Sometimes Adjuncts Can Be Good" -- I thought it seemed like a nice combo in theory. I'm not picking mine up for another couple weeks, but excited to try it soon.

    The Untappd listing is pretty useless, so I went back to the announcement video to add up the whole pedigree

    Recipes: Vibes + OWK + Generational + Omega (only previously used in 1 Candle, and Derivation blend #1)
    Barrels (17-23 Months): Willett Bourbon, BLiS Bourbon Maple Syrup, Bookers 7-year
    Adjuncts: In-house roasted/toasted almonds, Meadowfoam honey, blend of vanillas

    I had a pour on release day and enjoyed it quite a bit. The almond-honey-vanilla had me a little worried, but they didn't intrude on the barrel at all.

    I'm relieved to hear that....I was worried about the almond adjunct personally. They blend those BA beers so well that i'm sure the adjuncts were gonna play nicely anyway

    SP blaming adjuncts for losses in their aged beer makes me want adjuncts even less.
