    In October “a Bell’s coffee stout to be announced at a later date.” No Arabicadabra by name. Same beer with an easier name to say? I hope so.

    I'm looking forward to the beers that are part of the Hell Hath No Fury trilogy. I hope we see distribution in southern CA.

    I actually think Arabicadabra is overrated, it was just ok for me. I'm hoping they improve on it, because I really like coffee stouts.

    Wish they would just do regular 30th anniversary again. One of my favorite from them, especially fresh. Adding the cherry will be a novelty but probably nothing I’d want to buy a bunch of. Hoping they add BA 30th as a silent release like Black Note and BA Expo.

    I'm with you there. The 30th Anniversary is one of the best imperial stouts I've ever had. An unadulterated, well-crafted imperial stout. Please make it again (soon!), Larry.

    I think you mistook what they wrote: its not 30th Anniversary with cherries, it's gonna be a special 30th Anniversary edition of Cherry Stout.

    Ah yes, reading comprehension a little lacking on that one.

    The 30th Anny Cherry stout Reserve is gonna be a must have for me! And really excited for the Hell Hath No Fury series.

    I'll just be keeping my eye out around BA Expo release time. Best beer of 2017 for me.

    Smitten is one of my favorite pale ales. Sorry to see it go.

    I have to say I never was a fan of Bells Rye Smitten or Arabacadbra or their Java stout so really not disappointed to see them go. However Bells has been making some pretty good sours one for instance was their kiwi gose so I look forward to this sour around the time I pick up some Hopslam. And as far as the coffee stout, I hope they end up bottling their Bourbon Barrel Aged Coffee's On Stout or Traverse City Whisky Stout. These are ones I'd like to see brought to the table and if so I don't think any of us will be disappointed.

    Was just at the store picking up a couple things for tomorrow night and stumbled on 4 packs for BA Cherry Stout. Pretty pumped about it.

    Got some this weekend... Those cherries are cloying. I was disappointed.

    Really? I think I paid a pretty penny for the 4 pack too. :slight_frown:

    Me too. I'm going to age mine and hope the cherries fade. YMMV.

    I would have to disagree. I thought all the flavors were perfectly balanced.
