    They had Blackbead Rum Barrel Bear Hug at Roll Out The Barrel party a month ago. It was the first one drained... Outstanding. It had more coconut finish than I remember. It also could be after 10 BBA beers I was in happy land.

    Just left store. The manager said it would last thru the day. Plus you can always call and ask! Just make sure it's the Bells General store number in Kalamazoo

    Has there been any mention of distribution? I don't have the opportunity to take a day trip to Kalamazoo, but would love to pick up a 4-pack.

    I was told this batch will be seeing distribution at a larger scale than the last one did.

    Apparently they were telling folks at 10:00 that they expected it to last thru the day. They must have had a little more squirreled away somewhere..

    Just picked up mine. The guy at the counter said he was surprised it lasted until today. Very little left.

    Did they release that much more this time around? Surprised to see that it lasted four days in the General Store.

    The black note was great. But the others were too.

    125 checkins on Untappd. People seem to really like it.

    It is very good. And on it's own, love it. In that 3 way head to head, expo was the winner for me. Roasty and fuller flavor profile. 30th seemed oddly sweet compared to the others, and was still quite boozy and hot. The black note was more mellow. Might not make a huge different but the 30th was draft.

    that was a good way to spend a Wednesday night.
