    Dark Lord 2010

    Any suggestions

    Cheers

    Combos are fine, even 3. Thank you for the info much appreciated.

    I think BA 2TD stands the best chance of getting it done solo, but honestly I would drink the BA 2TD instead... I love that beer.

    Debating a trade for BC Vanilla as well. Is 2 Fou Foune too much on my end? That's the asking price.

    You're thinking of giving up 2 Fou Foune's for a GI BC Vanilla? That's ridiculous.

    Even if that is a fair deal (and I'm not saying it is) I don't think you should do it. Fou Foune tastes way too good and the Vanilla from BC is feided

    Like all trades it is subjective, but I don't think that's too crazy if they add to get closer to $4$. (No I don't have BCS Vanilla)

    This one time a guy just gave me a bottle of BCBVS for hosting a tasting at my place. Weird, right?

    I traded a Melange 3 for it when it was a year old and the vanilla was on life support

    More recently I traded a 2010 BA Decadence for a Vanilla. I anticipate at this point I will be playing the role of a resurrection man and the thought of giving up 2 fou founes for one generates not an insubstantial supply of lulz, OF THE OUT LOUD VARIETY

    Would BCVBS go 1:1 for Choc. Rain?

    I split a BCBVS with a friend three nights ago and it was incredible. Very balanced with soft vanilla flavors (not notes) that lingered for awhile after the taste. I think it really matters how each bottle has been handled.

    sounds like he may have been overcompensating because of his tiny...

    would a brewery only, reserve society 3 per member, $40 bottle go 1:1 for an off shelf variant of BCBS?

    I honestly do not know. At the very least someone is taking a 2x$4$ bath and giving up a brewery exclusive for an aged off shelf beer. I traded a Chocolate Rain for a Rare 2 months ago, so maybe people think Rare and Vanilla are on par with one another and overlook that huge price disparity.

    Go post an ISO, let us know how it works out, at worst you hear the sweet serenade of

    I definitely think so. I would absolutely trade my BCBVS for CR but unfortunately I just got rid of my last one.
