i want to get one or two of these suckers and am not sure what to offer up what have you guys gotten or traded it for so i can go with something close.
Just tried Bramble again after hunting it for 8 months. My first taste last summer was amazing, but nowadays it seems to be very fruit forward and had very little bourbon or stout character to balance it out. If you find that your bottle is similar, I recommend blending a little regular bcbs into the bramble (to taste). I found that it helped immensely and eased my sadness.
I traded for one with Deschutes and Midnight Sun limited stuff; I see you're in IL and don't have regular access to these but I thought I'd throw it out there.
