Bourbon Barrel Hellfighter

Also herd the heb @bunkerhill got 8 cases.

 

I'm not worried about then having it on the day of release as long and one of the local places get it. Keeping an eye on Facebook, twitter, and here hoping to hear some information. If it come out soon I'll be sending the wife out for some, she won't drive into Houston

 

They have a great deli selection. My coworkers and I went there for lunch.

 

It was supermarket sweep for me! I was in and out with high pricing items!
Plus I had that tunnel vision going in there! I completely forgot that there might of been Whiskey Barrel Rodeo available! Oh well!

 

:| stuck at work, won't be able to get any. sigh.

 

The gyros Spec's sells at their deli are marvelous. I'll order one when I walk in to-go and get it after I pick up my beer. Good burgers too.

 

Just pick some up at Specs on Bay Area near El Camino. 1 bottle limit and they were on their last case.

 

Picked up my two bottles at Smith and a Texas Turkey sandwish with the corn and shrimp chowder - mmmmm . . .what a lunch.

Specs on Westheimer/Kirkwood said they would get theirs in tomorrow. Any sighting further west?

 

The Shell station in Friendswood just posted on Facebook Hellfighter in stock 20 minutes ago. Limit one.

 

It didn't seem as vanilla forward as older releases; it seemed rather toned down.

 

I agree. The first few batches (up until about mid summer) seemed to have a stronger barrel note and much more vanilla.

I wonder if newer batches have spent less time in barrels to meet increasing demand. I hope not as you can't rush a barrel aged beer.

 

Someone named LCBeerHunter posted this on Twitter. Not sure where he got it from or who his connection is but it was from somewhere in Clear Lake. LC = League City.

 

I don't think that's it. I think it's just a different blend.

 

I do agree that inital batch of BBH was awesome and then slumped for the next couple. I can also say that this batch out of the bottle wowed me just like when I had it on release day at the saucer.

 

My wife is checking now... if not.. then I'll have her try the shell station...

 

You think the base beer is changed?

Good to hear. Hope it's tasty!

 

I haven't had this yet, but the first time I did was their first release at Hay Merchant of the beer. It was delicious back then. I hope this Is the same. Cracking a bottle open an aging the other.

 

My wife is heading to the Shell Station as we speak.

 

Let me know what she finds... I might be on my way there in a few minutes.

 

My wife just secured me a bottle. She said there is about 10 left.
