    The Caribbean Chocolate Cake bottles his the NYC area a few months ago, must have been bottles by Siren. Anyway, I highly recommend picking up some bottles, the beer was absolutely delightful.

    Chicagoan here. I had Rare Dos and loved it.

    I want to trade for 2-3 Cycle Stouts. Which ones so you recommend right now?

    Hazelnut, DBR, Nooner 10 (Also, Pallet 3 is one of the best tequila barrel aged beers I’ve ever had).

    I'd also recommend Lost Dos

    I would probably shy away from Nooner 10 at this point.

    Cycle puts "drink fresh" on their bottles for a reason. Their stouts are delicious and ready to go when bottled. I don't think I have had a single one that got much better with aging but have had a few that definitely lost some of their shine.

    It is hard to trade for and just hasn't held up very well. It is still a great beer just not like when it was fresh.

    If there are no adjuncts I would say they are fine to age (DBR, Rare Dos, Lost Dos, Pallet 2 and 3, etc...).

    Lost Dos was outstanding, definitely recommended.

    How's Nooner 9 drinking? Was considering trading for one of those.

    I wouldn't trade a ton for it. The one I had recently was drinking great, but the vanilla was pretty subtle.

    Go for a 10... I just popped one this weekend and it was insane. As good if not better than when it came out

    Same here. I had someone tell me that one I traded them wasn't great but the few others I've had recently that friends shared were excellent.

    Lucky for you guys. Some friends and I opened one just after Christmas and there was zero coconut left. But when I had it fresh it was amazing.

    That stinks.... the one I shared on Saturday was a coconut bomb. Mix that with the barrel and the lack of any burn or boizinesa made it like eating bourbon coconut fudge.

    We also opened an &+ which was phenomenal. Just as good as it was fresh. A little spicier than I remember the draft being.

    My last Nooner 10 had zero coconut, on a side note my Snowed In last weekend was a coconut bomb!

    Must be a lot of bottle variation. Both my &+ taste amazong but my Nooner10 didnt have much coconut even after only a month.
