    Called today at 11:00 am, they said they still had 40+ cases. Bought two four packs at 1:00 pm.

    I'm heading to Davenport, IA next week and was wondering if anyone knew of any places in Moline, IL or nearby that carry Dark Horse beers?

    Ditto above. I was driving through and stopped in to get some BB maple syrup for my wife and thought I'd grab a case if they had it. Sold out late afternoon.

    Definitely not sold out. There were 2 cases on the floor when i stopped by a couple hours ago. She said that was the last 2 cases left for the time being but they should be getting more in a few hours.

    There were two cases left when a buddy of mine and I stopped in yesterday afternoon. We both bought one and thought that was it. Apparently not

    Heaven hill. In general if they don't say the name of the barrel, it is probably heaven hill.

    I am hoping to find a kind BA in the Marshall area that would be willing to pick me up a case of BBPT5
    (assuming they still have some available). For your troubles, in addition to paying for the beer, I will throw in a
    nice 4PK ('12 BBPT5, '13BBPT5, '12 BCS, and '14 BCS). I will be in Jackson area for several days starting this Saturday.
    Thanks for considering.

    Me and a couple buddies did a 3 year vertical of BBPt5 (including reg 2013 BBPt5 and Brass Mug 2013 BBPt5 and Double Barrel Bourbrum over the weekend. I didn't really take many notes but here are the rankings that most of us agreed upon.

    1. Bourbrum - What was interesting is that we had two bottles that were from different 4 packs (and I'm assuming batches) and one of them was way more noticeable on the aroma and taste than the other. It had a much stronger sweet, almost bubble gum like aroma, whereas the other bottle had a much more muted aroma. The difference in taste was quite noticeable as well. I'm not sure what all could affect the taste this way other than being from different barrels, but I thought I would mention it.

    2. Tie between 2013 Brass Mug and 2014 BBPt5. The Brass Mug is soooo smooth and the 2014 was just as great.

    3. Regular 2013 BBPt5

    4. 2012 BBPt5 - Wasn't bad by any means, but it was the least memorable compared to the others.

    I might be able to help you out with a 4 pack, not so much on the case. I'm not far from Jackson. Message me if that might interest you.
