    Anyone try this year's release yet? I'm drinking one now, it's fantastic. Just hit shelves in Atlanta last week.

    I waited so long! Gonna get mine in the next couple days. Only question is, how much to get? Seems more expensive this year than I recall but it's so worth it.

    Tried 2010 & 11, but not this years yet. Im not usually impressed with much that Terrapin does though. I will def give it a shot if I come across it though.

    I drank one the other night and it is fan-freakin-tastic. Delicious beer and the only worthy competition that Founders Breakfast Stout has.

    Haven't found a place that has the latest vintage but The Giant Eagle in Tarrentum had four packs for sale at 11.99 which I found kind of odd since they don't have great beer there.

    I get home and find out its the 2011 release but still enjoy it regardless of faded coffee.

    Would like to know how they got a case of the stuff since I never found a case shop with it available and also where to find 2012 in PA. Going to grab at least 2.

    Love it!! Already picked up a case, that way I don't need to worry about trying to track down individual 4-packs later :slight_smile:

    I agree. Honestly though I think this years WNB is better than FBS.

    I'll take a W-n-B over almost all other coffee stouts. My brother in Atlanta just got a case for me, now he needs to hurry up and bring it home to Pittsburgh for the holidays!

    Am I the only one that thinks its better with the faded coffee? Gonna be doing a side by side of 2011 vs 2012 soon and will get back with the results, but from my memory, I seem to certainly like this beer (and a number of other coffe stouts) better with some age on them. Cuts the bitterness and allows some of the other big stout flavors to come out.

    50/50 blend of WnB and Moo Hoo is fantastic

    STILL waiting on WnB to show up in Upstate S.C., kinda sad considering it should have been here over a week ago.

    Shangys is the spot that will have it in PA. you will have to drive to shangys to buy it because they do not let it leave the store. This might explain why you found 2011 sitting around because thats what happens to beer that stays at Shangys.

    I'm not a big coffee drinker, so this year's fresh batch was way too intense for me. Even cut with Moo Hoo the coffee flavor is still too strong. But that's my opinion..

    Always a top pick for me, as far as coffee stouts go.

    I agree ^ 2011 is drinking great! Last years had huge coffee; this years is still bold but better than 2011 IMO. Great stuff!

    This is the only Terrapin beer worth drinking.

    Big Hoppy Monster, too, maybe.
