    No buzz on this at all, but just got released today at Eagle Rock. A really solid milk stout and does not taste at all like a 10% beer.

    Bottles and growler fills offered this weekend. Anyone else try it out?

    10% on a milk stout? interesting. Most I see tend to be 5% or below.

    What's this beer like?

    A friend of mine stopped in yesterday to grab us some bottles, and he tried some while he was there and he made a similar comment about not tasting like it's 10%. I'm pretty stoked to try this out.

    Any distribution on this, or is it only available at Eagle Rock/AleSmith?

    I don't think it will be at Alesmith.

    Anyone know the price point on this one?

    Around $10 and change at ERB, I imagine a buck or two more at stores.

    I had it for the first time last night. I liked it. I was going to buy a growler fill of it, until I found out it was $30 for a 64oz fill. It's a little cheaper if you just buy 3 bottles and you get a couple of oz's more.

    Why in the hell would it be cheaper by the bottle?

    Its 30 if you buy the glass too, it was something like $16 just for the fill. I just had it at the taproom and it was good, fuck all yall hating on Eagle Rock so hard.

    So the glass is $14? That's enough reason to hate.

    Yeah, it's the reason why I never bothered getting a growler. Back in the day they were even more. About $22-23 for the glass alone. I guess they're getting price breaks now with more orders? I dunno... are they doing blank growler fills?

    I'm here now and it's $30 for the growler fill (growler not included). You're looking at $45+ tax with a new growler.

    I paid $20 for a growler I think maybe early 2011 or late 2010 thinking I would make use of it often since the options for local breweries were almost nonexistent. Turned out to be a horrible decision.

    Why did Alesmith collaborate with Eagle Rock of all breweries? I could see The Bruery, Noble, or even Haven (if we're confining this to greater L.A. and Orange County). But Eagle Rock?

    Oh well. At least it wasn't Golden Road...
