    Straight from Goose Island's Twotter:

    Making it's triumphant return, we're adding Cacao Nibs to Big John today. http://ow.ly/i/13vI3
    "
    I can't believe Big John "Making it is triumphant return"!
    Big John is my favorite Stout they produce. Hope I'll be able to get a bottle when it's released!

    Awesome news! I know Big John has become the butt of many jokes in the trading forums, but I've really enjoyed the last couple bottles I've had. Still have one left, maybe I'll have to crack it in celebration!

    Big John and Nightstalker are both fantastic Impy stouts, cant wait for their return. Another plus of the InBev buy out.

    Didn't Big John already make its triumphant return last year?

    I saw this about Big John yesterday as well, but where does it say anything about Night Stalker returning?

    Early 2011 was the only release.

    Agreed, I'm happy Big John is coming back. A year of age and it was fantastic IMO.

    ahha. Thanks. I guess since I found 6 on shelves just a few weeks ago I was confused.

    That is crazy or rather, jealousy-inducing. I found a small collection on a rack in Iowa well after reserves had dried up in Chicago and, after the fact, wished Id been more dickish with my purchase (i.e. cleared out the rack instead of just buying two). Id happily admit it's an all-time-favorite of mine.

    There were some label approvals that went through a few weeks ago for these two beers -- in kegs. Not in bottles. Does that imply a draft-only release, like the 2nd wave of 2011 BCBS?
