    I have heard that it should hit first or second week of November. Anyone heard the same or different?

    Although now I'm kind of curious if anyone else has been seeing these around. Haven't heard much besides that initial post.

    I've called a few Binny's in Chicago and they've all essentially said it will most likely be next week or week after.

    Its in chicagoland. Cardinal in joliet had it Tuesday and Plainfield Binnys this morning only 1case though.
    Binnys sold out while we waited in line for Darkness.
    Keep your eyes peeled or you may miss it!
    Oh sorry I believe binnys in Niles had it Thursday

    Literally just drank one. Effin awesome. Perfect amount of heat. Nice balance of coffee, vanilla, and chocolate. Def pick this one up. It's probably one of the most balanced BA imperial stouts I've had. Not too sweet, not too bitter.

    This one will be harder since it's ridiculously limited. 6000 cases TOTAL nationwide and I heard Kozol bro's distribution only got 6 cases TOTAL. Whether it's true or not remains to be seen. So you won't see much of it in the southwest burbs if it's true. I know for a fact bolingbrook and plainfield binnys just got em and sold out. Haven't heard of anywhere else yet. I would assume california got the bulk of the 6k cases.

    If you are in Chicagoland area, start calling around Binny's next week. Some have gotten already and sold out, some have yet to receive it.

    Sounds like the mad rush for the city will be next week. I passed on Darkness at a couple places this week to try and get my beer karma up for this beer, hopefully that works out and I'll be able to land one :stuck_out_tongue:

    Well... did you get one? This hit the city today. Some small shops for sure, not sure about Binny's.

    Haha, thanks for checking in! Beer Karma payed off, even though my car was in the shop and I had a bevy of appointments yesterday, I wound up on a bus north on California an hour after it landed at the Beer Temple. Very much looking forward to trying this one, I am a big fan of regular Narwhal.
