    Just so people know, there was plenty in the cooler when I stopped in 15 minutes ago. I didn't ask about whether they still had any left outside of the cooler, but I wouldn't doubt it.

    Makes me wonder if there really are only 1700 bottles since some are numbered and some are not

    Is the base beer really the same Cherry Stout? If so I don't see how time in a barrel could fix that.

    So, if you dont like Dark Lord, im sure you would not like BVDL too right? I guess I dont get how some of you dont think a barrel can totally change a beer you "dont like"...fwiw, I really like the regular cherry stout and the New BA Cherry stout is awesome

    I think BA did a lot of good for ba9k. It was ok on its own but damn good out of a barrel

    I thought the same thing - I've never been a fan of the Cherry Stout. I only had BA Cherry once, but I was amazed by how improved it was. Had it alongside Black Note, and while I won't say I preferred it, they were definitely same ballpark.

    $23.99/750mL I think. Can't speak to your second question though.

    A little pricey (for Bell's, anyway) considering a 4 pk of BN went for the same price just two months ago.
