    Was this re-released? Just saw in a store and not sure if it's an anomaly or what.. or how fresh the coffee will be

    Yes, it's re-released and distributed like Track 8 was last year.

    Had on tap, disappointing considering high expectations I had. Hoping bottle is better.

    been finding bottles for a few weeks now. Its still drinking pretty damn tasty.

    Anyone else going to try and cellar any? I've got two bottles i'm sitting on and debating if I should drink or age.

    I'm aging the hell out of this beer. Too hot a few weeks ago.

    I wouldn't go too long with the aging. That coffee will fade away. I have some 3 and 4 year old KBS and they suck now. I also like heat, so maybe I'm not the best resource on this. Felt the beer was good, but def not worth the $15 I dropped on it.

    I find that to be the case with most Lost Abbey beers even if I am in the minority.

    When I tried it maybe a month ago (on tap at the brewery) there was a lot of coffee but very little barrel.

    I was disappointed too. Bought 2 bottles thinking I would age one. Wish I had spent that money on more track 8 instead

    I had it on tap at a local bar a few weeks ago, and I mostly agree with BreweryRun. Plenty of coffee and more subtle barrel notes, very smooth overall. I enjoyed it, but it's not going to blow you away, and obviously it's pricey. I bought a bottle anyway, but haven't opened it yet. I didn't have the original release, so I have no idea how it compares to that.

    I thought it was good when I had it. Though, I know someone who had it a couple times and had noticeably different opinions on each tasting.
