    if they kinda let kane steer this one, it could be really good. I mean we know Kane is pretty solid with getting coconut/vanilla out of beers; so it's really just the almonds that are kinda of an odd-adjunct out on this.

    It's also too bad that sheeple perceive a huge difference between 16 oz cans and 16.9oz bottles. The bottles make it a bitch to cary.

    Paying $24 for a 16oz can is offensive

    $24 for a 16.9oz bottle, however...

    Treated Bourbon County variants are more than $24 a bottle, just saying.

    I don't mind paying $25/bottle for a top quality BA stout, so the price range makes sense. Now, for the stout inside these...

    I won't complain; this is pastrytown week. :slight_smile:

    I would bet these are better than any of the BCBS variants this year, but that's not exactly a high bar since Mon Cheri for example is straight 'Tussin.

    No argument there, though I would hope OH aims higher than Ab InBev/GI.

    Am I missing something? The posts by NewmansOwn have quoted $16 per bottle prices for the Pastrytown stouts. Or is that just the VIP discount price?

    $16 is for 500ml of regular ole stouts.

    $24 is for BA stouts - https://www.instagram.com/p/B9RtnHwl5WR/

    Where do we think a 16oz carton would price at? I literally drink everything I buy within about 48 hours so I’m happy to pay a discount

    Don't they get less sweet and taste less like candy? If yes then they do cellar.

    But why BA them if they don't age well?

    So glad I don't have the desire to spend more $1+ oz for beer.

    All the added flavors fade. If you want to buy a cinnamon stout and eventually not have it taste like there's any cinnamon, then yes it does cellar.

    When BA, I might be mistaken, but I think in most cases they brew the base stout, age it, then pastrify it. This is why bottles of BA double drupe weren't infected.
