    They have like 4 phenomenal beers (BT, CR, BA Anni series, Melange 3), many average, and a bunch of dogs. Its nice to have at least one craft brewery in So Cal that does not produce hoppy beers.

    God I love Melange #3. They accidentally gave me 7 M3 instead BB4CB. At first I was annoyed, then I tasted them. Best mistake ever.

    The BA 4CB is stellar, though - delicious bourbony gingerbread in a bottle. Not that I'm contesting the deliciousness of M3, which is one of the best beers in the world. Also, you can buy M3 practically year round at the bruery, so you may want to call them out on the error, unless you tried BA 4CB and didn't like it, of course.

    My question would be how long till the Hazelnut aspect of it just goes completely away?

    Traded 1414, Fifteen, black note 750ml, BA hifi, and BA big sound for one. Hoping its "worth" it! (Thanks Alex!)

    They gave the wax that hazelnut aroma for a reason :wink:.

    It was never evident in the first place. If you had random people, even craft beer aficionado types like RS members, sample this beer blindly before there was ever word that a hazelnut version existed, and asked them to name what was added to the beer to render it a variant of regular Black Tuesday, I doubt that few, if any, would have fingered hazelnuts as the culprit.

    Which isn’t to say that the bruery can’t do BT variants successfully. Peanutbutter bals, for example, was pretty amazing and evidenced actual flavor of the special ingredient they added.

    Nope. I actually offered another bottle but my trade partner refused it.

    My group and I already had all those beers many, many times (minus the Fifteen, this trade was set up at the release mind you). I really wanted the beer. Offered a couple bottles less and heard crickets so I had to up the ante twice to get it done. No regrets.

    I'm just shocked it took that much awesome beer to get a trade done. As long as both of you were happy with it who gives a sh#t what I think though, right?

    Props to you for nutting up and getting it done.

    This was what I thought when I had it at a tasting recently. Mind you the beer was good but not worth what it is trading for to get a hold of it. I would rather take BT or CR any day over GM.
