Victory: Java Cask Bourbon Barrel Coffee Stout

You directly called out one poster (actually several) and basically said "Hey idiots, that beer you like sucks. Merry Christmas." Call me crazy, but that's not being "nice" by any definition. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but there's really no need to insult people because they don't like the same beer you like. It's only beer, after all.

Also, you misspelled "fucking."

 

Feeling a lot of love in this thread fellas.

 

Anybody know if this has hit Burlington County, NJ yet? Haven't seen any post yet were it was seen in the county.

 

BTW. Victory in D-Town got some more Java Cask.

 

Wegmans in lehigh valley has a couple of cases.

 

Thanks for the tip, just grabbed 2 bottles!

 

Wegmans in Mechanicsburg had some a few nights ago in the refrigerated case.

 

Drank one of my bottles last night. Very impressed. A thicker mouthfeel would be my only wish to improve this beer. Tip of the hat to Victory, you guys created a winner.

 

Any sightings in northeast PA?

 

Left all 8 Bottles on the shelf at Weiss.....$17. I am trying hard to not buy the hype anymore. My wallet cant keep up. Too many great well priced beers out there. I have left so many "rare and tough" beers on the shelf the last few weeks it makes my head hurt, but my wallet feels good.

Enjoy

 

Feeling the same yet wanting another bottle of this. Which Weiss?

 

Plymouth meeting.... They were gone the next day. Anything out of the ordinary is gone quick there.

Enjoy

 

Picked up a couple from Canal's on Rt 38 yesterday

I left 2 on the shelf...not sure if they had back stock

 

Picked up a couple of bottles of this...............what's the consensus...........let it age for awhile or drink it? I saw a review that said this was VERY boozy and probably would have been better if aged.

 

IMO: It's great now! But I'm also cellaring a couple for the coming year.

 

People find this better than SMS?

 

Didn't find it all that boozy. I'd say drink one now.

 

I did not find it boozy either - very smooth and drinkable. Really good stuff.

 

It's a solid beer, lots of coffee and some vanilla sweetness from the barrel. Here are the issues:

1) Kind of thin, expected more of a mouth-feel.
2) I don't mind price, but this wasn't worth it, doesn't live up to it's comps, something like Big Bad Baptist crushes this beer from taste to price all the way home.

Also, drink this one fresh, I don't see it improving with age. Again, that being said, it's a really solid bba coffee stout, it's just not something I will pick up again.

 

Victory's beer finder says that exit 190 in Dickson City has some, not sure on price but it must finally be floating around NEPA now
