    Damn. That's an awesome lineup. Couldn't make it this time. Still settling into the new apartment and I start a new job tomorrow, but I'm in for sure next time.

    Not sure how that guy had one, but he had one of the unreleased bottles
    From the cocoa fat batch.

    How many bottles were actually bottled and attainable? That be one the rarest beers I have ever heard of. Seriously.
    How was it?

    I know only a few bottles existing. It was phenomenal with strong note of chocolate, vanilla and some dark fruit. I've been going after it for a long time. It is surreal for me to try it at last.

    I'm crazy jelious. It is still blowing my mind that there was an actual bottle of this there.

    Super huge props to the guy who brought this. You probably made a lot of fathers happy today.

    It shows up on tap from time to time, I've had it that way.

    That's a good list, hopefully I'll be able to make the next one.

    Awesome tasting today everyone, thanks for sharing! I was surprised by the BBXXII also...I didn't know any of that made it to the public. It was excellent, as always.

    Went to my parents house for dinner and popped that bottle of B.O.R.I.S. that we didn't get to...a good end to an awesome beer day.

    Thanks again to Adam and Grape & Grain for hosting...what a perfect venue!

    The line up was awesome and the people were even better. I truly had a great time and look forward to the next get together. I also look forward to going to Grape and Grain some more for non BA functions, really nice place.

    So glad that everyone who came had a good time. I had a blast myself and am only sorry I had to roll out so soon after 3. Next time I will keep a clearer calendar. As Genghis notes -- the lineup was awesome and the people were better.

    Yes... looking forward to the next one! Again thanks to Grape and Grain... a very cool place and if I "worked only 3 blocks away" I would spend a lot of time there.

    Absolutely. We just need to choose a date. Probably a Sunday late in July, or push to August if there's a ton of travel going on. Feel free to toss out a possible date.
