    Wow, anyone had this yet? I cracked a bottle tonight and it is fantastic! Creamy and smooth with nice malt base and tart cherry notes. Blew my expectations out of the water!

    had it at Burnhearts tonight--I was surprised the cherry flavor was so deliciously sour cherry, and not fake, sweet cherry tasting

    I almost bought this but bought the Y2K instead. For sure next time I'm in the store. Glad to hear you like it.

    This is the 1st My Turn beer that I kind of feel like the packed it in and just took a beer from their regular line up and added cherries. This doesn't mean it won't be great, just like some out of the box stuff they were doing.

    On a side note, what was everyone's favorite My Turn? Can't say that I've had them all, but out of the ones I did try, the Maple Vanilla Doppelbocks was hands down my favorite!

    I can tell you they didn't just pack it in. John has wanted to brew this year for 20 years. This is my favorite so far.

    I hope this comes to our area, we missed a couple of the anniversary series and the my turn series.

    Anyone know where I may still find this in the stores around Madison? I wanted to get it, but let it slip away from me.

    I haven't seen it anywhere in a long time. At this point I don't even know how it would taste. Being a big fan of the Doppelbocks, I can tell you they don't age well. My fav beer to this day is Smuttynose Smuttonator. Its a random release and when it came in 2010. I bought a bunch and drank it. All amazing! Then in mid 2012 I was in Woodmans Oak Creek and they still had 8 bottles which I promptly snatched up. All of which were not very good. I don't think I would drink a doppel over 6 months now. I'm so happy Smuttonator will be released for the 1st time in years later this year.

    Let me look at a few shops in MKE. I'll be in Madison next Saturday.

    Liked this beer a lot. Great to pack in as a trade bonus, too.

    It's held up pretty well. We cracked one earlier this week, and while the maple had definitely subsided, it was noticeably smoother than it drank fresh.

    Tried this
    Tried this a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it... kicking myself for only grabbing one bottle.

    Underrated brewery all the way around if you ask me. Wish we got the My Turn series here.

    Would love to see them put an IIPA into their seasonal or regular series.
