    Whiskey Barrel Aged Paradox.

    Alright, I'm in. How much? I'm afraid to ask but guessing $20/12oz.

    Pffft... this is Austin, not Houston. My corner convenience store probably has it!

    And Scotch IS just whiskey made in Scotland, so shut yer pie hole! :wink:

    I thought it was going to be really dry like 512 WBADPP was.....NOPE! - It's as sweet as BCBS.

    Straight Chocolate, Vanilla, BOOZE is all I tasted.....not as thick as BCBS but not very far off - very smooth and creamy.

    And at 15%, it packs a punch!

    If anybody can get an extra bottle for it, I'll give you money, or other beer, or sexual favors. I think.

    Almost all of the Paradox beers are Scotch Barrel aged.

    I probably haven't had a Paradox in 3-4 years... so it's completely possible that I have no fucking clue what I'm talking about. :slight_smile:

    From what Mycah is describing, this must be way different than other Paradox beers. They are usually super peaty. Like a spent campfire in your mouth.

    Previous Paradox beers were 10% and were watery and overrun by whisky/barrel character. I might pick one of these up. Looks like an Isle of Arran batch got bumped to 15%, too, in case anyone is looking for alternatives to Jura.

    I guess I should give this one a try. Every Paradox beer I've had before had too much of a peat flavor for my tastes. Maybe this one is different?

    No, this is very peaty. I like it though because i love peaty scotch. The jura bottle is even smokier and peatier than the previous paradox. Its up there with mikkeller scotch barrel aged black hole. I find it fantastic, though. Brandon may have some left. 13.99. I bought six from him, so I can spare a couple if anyone really wants one.

    Damn... Had a chance to grab this while in the UK and passed due to mixed reviews.

    Bitch Please is still on the shelves at various stores in Austin. I'm sure you can find it somewhere in Houston
