    I am a huge fan of Narwhal, not a huge fan of the barrell age. Narwhal stands tall in the original form.

    Seems a little early for that, doesn't it?

    This beer is phenomenal. Did a comparison of it vs. other high profile BA stouts at the last GABF and it was hands-down the winner.

    I'll be happy enough if I find standard Narwhal this year...

    I've never even seen regular Narwhal around my parts, so I doubt I'll see any sign of this one.

    But we still have 2012 Hoptimum for sale, so there's always that to fall back on....

    Sweet! Definitely appreciate the fact there will be more of it so hopefully it won't be a trading situation to get my hands on some.

    *Edit*
    Thanks for the extra info @sierranevadabill

    I'm going to just stop buying beer now so I can afford all of the tasty beers that should be out around the holidays. Otherwise, I will not make it.

    You have the traditional Narwhal, not the barrel-aged. The barrel-aged is still in the barrels in our warehouse (save for a few 5-gallon kegs I'm using at events later on this month)

    I was recently asking about aging Narwhal in another thread, and everyone told me that 2013 was the first time they brewed it...

    Edit: my mistake - looks like it was 2012... but is the 2014 already out?
