New Brew from Cigar City

Black Note??

Btw, how does ths CCB beer stack up to the other special releases?

 

I think previous batches were aged in separate barrels and then blended. Or at least #4 was handled this way as far as I remember.

 

I apologize if my question wasn't clear. I love CCB, especially those from their BA program. I am curious how this particular beer, Capricho Oscuro, stacks up to the other limited release beers from CCB. Thanks for the reply.

 

Hasn't been released yet.

 

It stacks up a little differently because the 12 oz bottles are shorter than the 750s.

 

And now Black Note. I kind of like this, hope it becomes trend.

 

Anybody seen anything new on this availability in tasting room?

 

I know for a FACT that it WILL be released in the nearish future. That I can promise...

 

I had a swallow of it Friday and it is incredible. I was told they were waxing the bottles and it will be available next week.

 

Think im gonna make the drive from orlando when this becomes available as long as i have the funds. Anyone know how long these type of releases usually make it once they make them available?

 

probably depends on if they are selling individual bottles or 4 packs....not sure about leon, or BA church on a hill, but the imperial sweet stout was availabl for a couple days after they released it. i am hoping this wills tay around for a few days...they typicaly release their beers on a midweek day, so makes it hard for me to just drive down there and pick some up.

 

yea same here i will have to work it around my school and work schedules

 

They are waxing the bottles today/tomorrow then maybe about a week before they sell them. Single bottle sales it looks like. So pissed I'm gonna miss it.

 

you hear anything about price or limit?

 

Nope on both. If they know they weren't telling.

 

This sounds like a 3/17 sort of beer!

 

I heard $10 a bottle.

 

thats what i was thinking. hopefully they will last long enough for me to get money for them.

 

With this using several vintages of WW and mentioning brandy barrels, I expect this one to be special. The only beer from CCB that I preferred over BA Big Sound was a cask of Brandy WW at the first Hunahpu release. It was outstanding. If this is anything like that, with a little more body from the additions of the stout and porter, it should be incredibly good.
