    It came out last year in Sept. anybody know if or when it's coming out again this year?
    When Nectar got bought earlier this year I remember reading the new owners were excited about BX and other possible new beers from Nectar.

    Not sure, but Total Wine Northridge still has quite a bit from last year still, & they will probably get the new batch soon I'm sure, if it's not in already.

    It's bottled and will ship soon. Can't say for sure as that's not my department, but I will say that this is by far the best batch yet. Deifinitely drink it fresh before the coffee oxidizes and fades out.

    Call me crazy, but Black Xantus is better than the Firestone Anniversary series now.

    If you are willing to pay $15.99 for it. Royal Liquor in Leucadia has most of a case on the shelf.
