    Armsby Abbey and Rail Trail have it on tap (or at least did as of a day or two ago).

    It's a good dessert beer. Not one I'd start a night with or have with a meal.

    There were several bottles at Fifth Ave. Liquors in Framingham. I believe it was $16.99 a bottle.

    I enjoyed it as a nighttime/dessert beer, even though it was very sweet. My wife hated it; she thought it was way too sweet.

    Julio's still had a bottle or two this afternoon.

    I also liked it more as it warmed.

    I made the mistake of starting with it and put it to the side pretty quickly (got two other beers) before finishing it after my meal. It improved as I let it sit.

    I think this one will be sitting in places for a while. Not in large quantity, but bottles here and there.

    We tried this at the tail end of a tasting night, with some brownies. Good combo, but 1/7 of a bottle was a good amount. I'd imagine trying to knock down a whole one would be an adventure.

    This was my problem. I bought it with the intention of splitting with my wife, but since she hated it I ended up drinking it alone. By the end it was tough...

    Yeah... this is a bottle that needs 3-4 people for sure.
