    Thanks Captain Obvious - I'm aware, I'm merely pointing out one aspect I consider before I purchase any craft beer.

    Aw man awesome. This beer is so good. Please please please if you have a chance pair this with a really good dark chocolate brownie, it's an incredible dessert beer.

    I'm just pointing out that the alcohol needs to be balanced in a great beer. They could increase the alcohol and make it taste worse I guess, but this recipe seemed to be a hit last time. Plus, if I'm being obvious, 9.2% is only slightly less than your 10% requirement.

    Just hit up my Grand Rapids mule - he's standing in line for me already. Hook him up with a coffee if you see him.

    One of the best beers they've ever done. It sat on shelves in GA for a while, wish to hell I had pulled more triggers and loaded up. The trade bait alone is insane, and it's an incredible beer to consume too.

    CBS followed Blushing Monk 4 years ago, any chance for a repeat?! I know they just released kegs of CBS.......

    In terms of Backstage beers I have sought out, so far I'm one for four: only one I've found that I actually wanted to try was Big Luscious. I was unable to find Sweet Repute fresh (though I did recently manage to get a pour on tap) and remain unable to find Smoked Porter and Curmudgeon's Better Half. No longer looking for them.

    If this is like Rubaeus, I think I'll keep my record at 1/4 and not bother looking. Plus it sounds like it will be a pain in the ass to find.

    It's nowhere near Rubaeus.

    10th post to threadhate Founders. Has to be a record.

    But seriously, where is Black Biscuit (I'm kidding).

    This beer was fantastic! Can't wait to finally have it again! I wouldn't mind having the Better Half again either.

    From the hype in this thread, I'm interested. Does this age well? I'll pick up quite a few bottles if so.

    Heard about CBS in MI as well. Sure would like to give that stuff a try. Now I'll await the "fallen off" comments.
