    What do people think that have tried it on draft so far? Any insights on where to get bottles? Thanks.

    I missed out on this last year. Really hope I run into it.

    Had it at the brewery on Saturday and thought it was great. I could really pick out all the different flavors that went into it.

    The brewers told me they estimated the turnout on Saturday at about 600-700 people. The 2013 on draft I personally thought was drinking better, but the 2014 was really bourbon forward.

    For bottles, apparently CM Plano got some today, most stores in Dallas-proper it seems are getting them on Tuesday/Wednesday.

    I agree with everything said, 2014 is more bourbon/oak forward right now, but that would be expected. 2013 was drinking great, and I think I liked it more, but a year does good things to these beers. I would not hesitate to buy 2014.

    I've only had '13 but its one of the best if not THE best BA stout in Texas IMO. Very under rated. Can't wait for these new bottles. Love the bottle art and the boxes too.

    I got a bottle at Central today. Fairly steady stream of people looking for it, but not a crazy rush. You should be able to find a bottle if you go out.

    Had 14 at the release on Saturday and it is damn good.

    I thought the '13 was drinking better as well, but the '14 was nothing to sneeze at. Amazing turnout and was pretty cool to hear that Lakewood is moving next door and increasing their production 10x.

    Whole Foods Addison had some cases, limit 2pp, sold out by 12:30, they possibly didn't have a clue? But I got me some chocolate covered pretzels! :astonished:

    Latest I've heard is Whole Foods Park Lane is selling there's at 2
    Central Market Lovers maybe today, but if not Friday
    Specs Wednesday

    Central Market Southlake has gotten theirs in, don't know limits or amounts received at any of the places. Happy hunting my peoples

    They had 9 cases at WF Addison and like @Abbbp said they sold out quickly, before my wife could get there on her lunch break. Even at double production this may still be a s-show.

    I hate working by the airport and not being able to go anywhere during the day. I haven't heard anythign about lonestar, kegs & barrels, or s & k, I can try central market plano on my way home but I've never gotten a limited bottle from them.
