    Previous beers in this series were fantastic. Anyone see any mention of base beer style for this release?

    I'm so excited #3 is hitting distribution even if in low amounts! Since #3 is probably another lager with light bourbon flavors the truck chasers won't buy it all up.

    My "sources" tell me it is a roasty black lager around 10% ABV.

    Anyone that saw this and passed it up is really doing themselves a disservice. That beer at that price is ridiculous. So good.

    Check out Cub food liquors for this beer, no limits and six packs at the one off 36.

    I'm having my first one tonight...anyone else picking up on some buttery diacetyl-ness?

    Yes. "Chardonnay barrel" butteriness is what I was picking up, although I didn't add that to my review. I'm about ready to crack into a fresh one right now. :grinning:

    I am picking up the same, still love it though. It has all of the best flavors of a dunkel and the barrel adds a whole new level of complexity. I'm going to have to scour Northeast, Downtown & South Metro for more.

    That and a slight wine tartness?

    Anyone know where I can find any of this in the wild or have some they'd be willing to part with?

    Picked up a sixer at Kowalski's in Eagan this morning. There was one left as of 10:30am.

    Found some at Lunds in Eagan, they had quite a bit left. Lots of DSDB in their cooler as well.

    I hate to post about a one-time beer that is now probably long gone from the stores, but I bought a six-pack of this shortly after Christmas. I've had 2 of the six now. This is a wonderful beer! The fine wine of beers!
