    Has anyone else tried it yet ? I did, and man, was it ever a letdown. The finish is terrible. Not quite sure what they were going for, but IMHO it sure didn't work out.

    I want to have high hopes for it, if I find one when I have money, I think I will tuck one away and let time do it's thing and hope for the best.

    Picked one up today and found it to be delicious. I'd drink much, much more of it, if not so expensive.

    Just got it in today. It's not in our system yet, but considering the case cost, it will go for $10.99.

    St. Anthony had some, saw the price and passed. Might be good (I love me some Deschutes) but I can't justify that price.

    I was thinking the same until I realized that I pay $20 for a bomber on occasion. I think I will give it a try.

    I picked a bottle up at the Four Firkins last night. There is no way I can wait a year to drink it!

    Yeah the problem is the wife finally noticed that my beer cellar had grown as large as it has and she was giving me shit about it, plus I just picked up 3 Abyss bottles when I was in Duluth so I think I need to wait a bit before buying another expensive beer.

    There are plenty of us who are willing to help downsize your cellar! :wink:

    I don't need to downsize the cellar, I need to get a bigger container. It was a rubbermaid tote, and that got filled so I was stacking in boxes around it, the wife thought I was just being lazy and not filling the tote after emptying it :slight_smile: When she decided to be nice and fill it she got a surprise.

    I caught a bit of shit about how much beer was there, not that she is really bothered but I have to take crap cause of my teasing about her scrapbooking stuff.

    I would doubt that. I have no facts to back that up, but that seems like a hell of a lot.

    I don't know, wouldn't doubt it. I've been to three of my local shops and all have had it with no bottle limit. I think this one will be around for longer then people expected.
