    The barrels are huge, they're the best. They're the best barrels you'll ever see. Huge. Huge barrels. The beer is in there a long time. A long time. Just the right amount of time. It's a great beer. The best.

    Considering the bottle count on the Scotch one was only like ~180, this could be a really tough bottle to get a hold of.

    Without a doubt. Gotta have some ammo for that one, but on the fence if it'd be worth it.

    I think it'll just be difficult to find. Out of the 180 bottles out there, I gotta figure the people that actually trade or are on beer related sites/groups is 10-20%?

    Has anyone confirmed if it was actually good? That will be the driving factor. Low yields on bad beers don't bring high trade values no matter how rare.

    It could be coincidence but I wonder if he had any influence on this years Dark Lord. I will have to open a bottle soon as I didn't try it on Saturday.

    Is there a consolidated bottle count for all the variants somewhere?

    My exact sentiment, but those who don't like scotch (especially Islay) will most likely not enjoy it... imo.

    Was it a cover of bad romance by lady gaga? Cause I think that's what you're describing.

    Four. I hope it's good. Reviews look sporadic on those that have actually tasted it. I wish I had a chance to grab a taste on tap. Luckily, my brothers and I are fans of scotch (Highlands for me, Islay for my brothers, although I wouldn't turn it away), so this should be interesting. My hope is the smoke/peat rounds out the sweetness.

    I imagine it would be what lady Gaga sounded like if she fell into a human size garbage disposal
