    Hey!

    I recently stumbled into a large number of Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Biscotti Break, retail price shows around $20...I have seen the non-BA version around, but heard that BA trades above $4$ value.

    Does the BA version trade at above $4$ value, or is it not highly sought after?

    Thanks for your help!!

    Retail is $25. It trades $4$ for other limited shelf beers

    $20 is a good price for that beer...and it's delicious

    I paid for mine at 3 different shops. I'm not aware that it trades over that. However, make sure you drink one or two, they're damned good.

    It trades for $20-25 of other limited distro beer.

    had this at a tasting with AB Mexican Cake Friday; and I think most people liked this over AB Mexican cake. So shoot me

    They just must not have been able to taste the rar-ness of the ABMC

    ... anyways, I am on board with the rare shelf/or sometimes non-shelf $20-$25; maybe a bit less. This seems like a good 1:1 with '14 reg Mexi Cake. Both beers are drinking awesome

    I loved BB IBB... so did everyone I shared it with. Definitely way better than expected.

    I just wanted to highlight your statement because I think people forget that rareness doesn't always equal superior taste and I appreciated your candidness on the two. It's always nice to hear someone give an opinion on a beer when they aren't trying to protect it's trade value

    Related question: does double barrel Jesus trade at the same level, lower or higher?

    I think this one tastes way over its trade value. The only one I traded was for great value from a àwesome BA, but I am holding on to the rest.

    Double barrel EMJ trades a tiny bit higher only because BA IBB was released twice and double barrel has only come out once. Still isn't worth much more than $25 of limited shelf beers.

    If anyone still has access to this I'd like to set something up for a couple of bottles. Message me and we can work it out whether it be a trade or PayPal plus thank you beer.

    Think 4-5 KBS would be enough?

    First of all, everyone that encouraged you to make sure you try it yourself is correct, it's fantastic. Back around Xmas, I was the stumbling devil and came across a couple which i traded for BCBS Backyard- at that time, it was still 2 months from arriving to Texas.
