    I saw a MMR 4-pack last week and picked it up. I have tried the Praline and La Sorpresa, and both have been really disappointing compared to when I have tried them in the past. Super thin, not much flavor from the beer or the barrel. And the Sorpresa has a ton of heat also. Probably spicier than any stout I've had other than Mikerphone's Chicken and Waffles abomination.

    Only tried the Sorpresa and High West back in early January and thought they were decent/good - not great. I LOVE the idea of mixed 4pks, but Praline and Orange Chocolate are not for me.

    I love the mixed 4 pack idea as well, so I’m happy with them experimenting. But agree that those two weren’t anything special. High West and Sorpressa are always decent, but I agree with @miniditka77 that this years Batch seemed lacking to me. Unless the variants excite me next year, I’m better off buying a Deep Woods pack.

    Anyone heard if Binny's is going to get Term Oil Smores, or was it only some of the Chicago bottle shops that got some?

    It was mentioned over in the TG thread. I didn't post it there because I figured my question would get more of the FIB eyes I need here. Apparently TG said none of it was coming to IL despite other nearby states getting distro, but then it popped up at some bottle shops.

    They also said none would be going to Indiana, but apparently some landed in Indy @ $16 can. That gave me high hopes for all those in this thread. (BTW - I didn’t land any, but this was communicated to me with photos through a trade partner.)

    Yes it did! I am aware of two places that received cans of Term Oil Smores. I bought a can at a local bottle shop for $25 plus tax. Ouch on the price, but I still bought it because barrel aged TG beers...

    Do these shops have names? Keep looking up local shops on google and it’s not coming up.

    I was answering the inquiry if it hit distro which yes it did. I didn’t share details because the ones I saw were from a few weeks ago and have long ago sold out. Maybe one of the far out ones like Tuscan Sun might still have some.

    If it’s the beer I’m thinking of at the shop I’m thinking of for the price
    I’m thinking of in the format I’m thinking of, hot damn, I’m sure you can imagine how I feel about that.
