    DB Marshal Zhukov is ok, better than tap, still not a fan though.
    Hope Enjoying My Coffee tastes better, but I dont expect it as good as Morning Wood.

    El Catador Club

    Hello El Catador Club 10th Edition Tampa Members

    We are pleased to announce our next 10th Edition bottle -- Capture of Azov -- an Apple Brandy Barrel-aged Imperial Porter.

    Tampa members can pick up in the Cigar City Brewing tasting room on Spruce Street starting Monday, April 29, 2019 at 11am. Boulder members will be notified when they can pick up at a later date.

    Tasting Notes:
    An intense bouquet of candied apple, bakers chocolate and raisins melds seamlessly with vanilla and oak aromas. Viscid and complex, the beer's molasses, burnt sugar and dark chocolate flavors find counterpoint in apple brandy and oaken notes from extensive barrel aging and in a snappy and herbaceous hop presence. Sherry, plum and tobacco notes round out this complex and imposing Imperial Porter.

    From the Apple Dictionary:

    viscid

    adjective
    glutinous; sticky: the viscid mucus lining of the intestine.

    Sounds delicious :stuck_out_tongue:

    Since we already know what the seven bottles are, has anyone heard or have any sort of idea of what the 3 additional bottles are?

    I heard an apple brandy something or other. Started with a H I think.

    There was a 4 bottle Huna vertical for sale. Looks like it sold out quickly.

    If interested, register for a chance to purchase Tampa beer week bottles. Entry closes tomorrow

    "In preparation for construction in our Tasting Room, we are clearing off a few shelves in the cellar and have a limited number of 2019 Tampa Bay Beer Week bottle sets available for members.


    Five (5) bottles are in this set, with of one (1) of each of the following bottles that were released during 2019 Tampa Bay Beer Week included:


    Manson Lamps - Bourbon Barrel-aged Imperial Sweet Stout with Coconut

    Tip Top Cafe - Rye Whiskey Barrel-aged Imperial Stout with Mostra Coffee

    Yes, Always! - Bourbon Barrel-aged Imperial Stout

    Emotional Support Duck - Brandy Barrel-aged Imperial Stout with Peanuts, Raspberries and Blackberries

    The Smiling Nut - Rye Whiskey Barrel-aged Imperial Stout with Pistachios and Vanilla


    The price for this set is $99.95. There is no discount on this set.



    Due to the very limited nature of this product, we expect the demand to be much higher than inventory. As a way to try and give everyone an opportunity to get this, we are going to offer it as a random lotto."

    Is that separate from or the same as the secret opportunity they emailed members?

    I'd be all over it for more Yes Always, Smiling Nut and Tip Top, but seemed like they were also releasing some more past El Cat bottles to members.

    Alas I'm no longer a member, just curious.

    I am curious what the allowed time to pick up these is. No information in the email. If I can wait until all the club bottles are available that would be great.

    I was lucky enough to get the Vertical Hunahpu set that they offered and they are holding those bottles until the last day of pickup for all of the rest. I would imagine they would do the same for these.

    Response to email from CC regarding the TBBW set,

    You technically have until the end of the club (30 days from the final bottle release), but we would appreciate if these could get picked up earlier if possible since we are trying to clear out space.


    Thank you!

    I just got an email saying my order for "the whole cigar" was ready for pickup. It was like an invoice instead of the usual email describing the beer. Anyone else get this instead?
