    Just figured I'd let anyone know who is looking. They got in like 5 cases of 2012 yesterday. Apparently it was supposed to go to Chicago but they decided to not ship it there and send it to local shops instead. Hopefully somebody finds this useful.

    Isn't the point of this site to share beer information? I'll never understand the "don't tell anyone it's MINE" nature behind most craft beer drinkers. It's beer, people. It's for sharing and drinking. Relax.

    I'd heard that a couple of cases got out to some other local retailers, so this is probably a good thread in which to share that info... :wink:

    Have at it, folks. I've gone through my allotment save for one bottle which I plan on cellaring until late 2014. I'm kind of burnt out on Stouts for the time being.

    I thought the point of this site was to lie and brag about your latest haul, most expensive purchase and how many beers you have ticked?

    Got mine about 11:30. Have not stopped in at Heritage in weeks and what do I see as I walk in the door?

    Maybe I should by a lottery ticket today.

    Soothe the pain once its gone and grab two four pks of Founders IS for about the same price. I havent had the 2012 vintage Darkness, but the Founders is one of the best stouts I can recall tasting.

    Saw one bottle at MGM Calhoun this afternoon. They also had some FIS, which I agree is better (blasphemy!), and two lonely bottles of 2012 BCBS...

    Just got back from Heritage, they still had a pretty healthy amount of Darkness left. $19.99 - 2 bottle limit. I hadn't read this thread (just stopped in there to get some Sucks) and my eyes about rolled out of my head when I saw it just sitting out in the open. Nice surprise indeed.

    Saw some for $21 today and passed. It's a great beer but not a $21 great beer. 4 pack of black note or a darkness? Same price. I would love to see them price it more in line with worthy adversary.
