    Anyone compare the two yet?

    I don't believe any reviews of the '12 exist, so I'm wondering if there is a change.

    Thanks!

    I had it on tap when they released it and it was pretty much the same as I remember.

    It's worth a try if you have never had it. My opinion, would be a great beer right around Christmas while sitting by a fire.

    There's probably no way that this year's will be as terrible as last years. I went 3 for 3 on infected bottles last year. Definitely my "oh why the hell do they brew this" beer from CCB. I'll pick up a single of it and see if it isn't terrible.

    Damn I had 1 bottle and thought the same thing! I want to try this again but not sure if I wanna spend the dough on an entire six pack! Guess ill wait until some reviews pop up on this years batch.

    I have an '11 that was given to me last year but found its way to the back of the cabinet somehow. Once the '12s hit Orlando, I'll have to do a side by side. Sounds like it may be a terrible experience but I'm sure I've had worse.

    I must say I tried this on draft yesterday at the tasting room an it was a completely different beer than the bomber I tried last year. This one was pretty decent, nothing special (I bought my BA big sound and 1 six pack) to the extent my six pack was jai alai over sugar plum. This beer kinda reminded me of anchor Christmas ale a little bit with the spices in it.

    I picked up a six-pack of 2012 today at the brewery, and it's just like 2011's.

    For me, that's a great thing since I love Sugar Plum to begin with, way more than just about anyone else does.
