    Most likely you could as they just ask for the name and payment afterwards. Apparently guy above you did just that. You could always send your link to me and I could let you know

    Anyone tried Mornin' Latte? Non-BA Imperial Coffee Stout from Toppling Goliath. Saw it at Binny's but I'd prefer to buy a single before making the leap...

    I was literally coming to this thread to ask if the Mornin' Latte distro was coming to Chicago or not. Thanks for answering my question - sorry I can't answer yours.

    It's a great coffee milk stout. Tons of coffee, creamy, with a touch of sweetness. I took home a few 4 packs at the MD release.

    I think it's pretty darn good and worth picking up if you've never had it (assuming you like creamy coffee stouts).

    i usually love coffee forward stouts, but this was a bit overpowering even for me.

    then again, i also thought mornin' delight was way too maple-y, so perhaps TG stouts just aren't meant for this idiot!

    Does it age well? Or rather is it worth sitting on a 4 pack for a while?

    I refuse to drink morning latte before 6 years of aging.

    a buddy's sage words:

    As Ryan Adams sings, 'drink your coffee in the morning, at night drink your beer'. Never at the same time,.. outta the same bottle.

    This batch was canned 9/20/19, by the way...can't complain about that!

    I wound up buying a 4 pack, and after trying this I'm glad I did.

    I'm a coffee stout aficionado, and this is certainly coffee-forward with a nice cream element as well. Can't taste the booze either, which makes this one dangerous at 8.9%.

    Heard some rumblings about this coming to Indy, now I'm even more excited to snag some when it comes my way.

    Visiting Chicago and just had a Pseudo Sue on tap. We’d gotten a couple of drops in DC when it was contract brewed by Two Roads, and this is just a world of difference. Surely TG oversaw (or at least provided a recipe and instructions for) the brewing at Two Roads, but I guess there’s a “secret sauce” that’s tough to replicate...

    Keeping my eyes peeled for some King Sue while I’m here this week

    You should have luck at most Binnys around Chicagoland. Usually a plentiful amount of TG offerings
