    May be a fluke or maybe people just don't care, but the Binny's on Grand Ave. has had Black Xantus on the shelf for a few months now. And plenty of it. Right now on sale for $12.99 (normally $14.99 I think). I've grabbed a bottle each trip I've made there over the past few months. All have been good. Coffee is still pronounced.

    So, just a head's up if anyone's interested. If not, more for me :wink:

    Btw, LUSH on Rosco had some in the fridge, as well as Rye on Rye, and some of the various Eclipse options on the counter.....

    If this is a fresh batch, my rep requires a thorough beating.

    It is not a fresh batch, this is the same batch that came through in November.
