    At the end of the month, I should have access some Grand Teton Bourbon Barrel Black Cauldron RIS.

    We don't normally get there beers down here, so I've never had the regular Black Cauldron, and I was wondering if this is something I should be excited about.

    The GT rep said they used Buffalo Trace and Old Forrester barrels.

    Black Cauldron is a good RIS. In what way will you have access to the barrel-aged version?

    Sounds interesting to me. Never seen it before, and the base beer is good.

    I'm kinda excited about this, though I haven't drank last month's Five Golden Rings from Bruery yet.

    I dig Black Cauldron, I'm definitely excited for the BA version.
    Anybody have distribution, bottle count, or pricing info?

    edit: nevermind, it's Beer of the month and brewery only.

    That was a hot mess... IMO.

    The regular black cauldron was good but nothing special. It has a bit of an odd flavor for an IRS, butI could see how it would be a good candidate for bourbon barrel aging.

    Just opened my first bottle. Pretty flat, is this normal? Emailed the brewery.
