    Hey guys,

    I need to land Prop '13 for an upcoming tasting where we'll have all the 22oz Bourbon County releases. I have a bottle of A Deal With the Devil from the new batch- is that enough for 1:1? Or do you think I'd need to add?

    Thanks for any insight, folks.

    This would have been easy if there was no Batch 2 ADWTD. Most people don't really care if it's B1 or B2 so with the "flood" of B2, people can give up other things for ADWTD without giving a now rather scarce Prop '13.

    So yes, you'll have to add to pry one out of someone or try with something else a little bigger.

    Thanks for the help, @mythaeus. I'll try some +s to see if I can get anywhere.

    Saw your post. Solid offer! Best of luck. Prop '13 is my favorite beer until I tried KBBS.

    One is a BA coconut stout, the other one is a BA barleywine. Can't compare them. I dislike Prop '14 significantly, but '13 was incredible. As a fan of barleywine having had Sucaba, MOaS, Great, BCBBW, Kuhnhenn BBBW, Arctic Devil and most recently ADwtD b1, ADwtD was my least favorite of them all, being incredibly sweet. I ended up giving away most of my pour to other people. Of course, it's subjective, but I'm comparing to other barleywines at least.

    I haven't had all that you mentioned on your list of barleywine, but I wanted to give another shout out to Great. It might have been the best barleywine I've ever had. Unbelievably tasty. Had it back to back with HF Aaron, and Great came out on top.

    I think very early into the B2 release I saw someone offer up a Prop 13 for ADWTD. Right set of eyes is all it takes.

    I traded mine off for some cantillon, both parties happy.

    Ended up giving up on trying to get Prop '13. Managed to land a BA Vietnamese Speedway instead!
