    Got a bomber of this today at the local DM's. Very nice! My local sold out of the Big Eye IPA in about a week, was glad to see the porter there. nice and fresh, and priced at 12 bucks. Anyone else tried it?

    I hope the Skulpin comes in ... one of my fondest memories has been whilst holding a pint of that beer. All the Ballast Point beers like the Green Flash and Alesmith beers are hard to pass up ...

    Are individual Danno's allowed to dictate their range without Head office intervention? I thought consistency of range was their hallmark.....

    No SC morgan you don't hope Sculpin comes in! Why spoil your wonderful memories of how delicious fresh sculpin is by drinking an unrecognisable version down here?

    Sculpin brought over in the proper way is viable.

    Do you mean Sculpin that came in early last year? If so, that was legit.

    My local Woolworths Liquor is stocking this for $10 at a $2 discount & BB of 04202013. Was a little bit surprised it had filtered down.

    They did get an awful lot in. Most Australians are scared of dark beers. To them, they all taste like Guinness.
