    or Cannonball The Younger as some wag on RB called it.

    Already got this on pre-order from the local bottle shop but might swing by the release party at CBC N1 tomorrow. Another free t-shirt to commemorate this event, given out with first 40 bottles sold.

    Other stuff on tap.

    Have they said where you can get bottles or is it just London?

    Might venture there for a half but I bet the bottle won't come cheap!

    Dammit, that line up looks interesting - shame I can't make it.

    A Triple IPA sounds wicked too, bet it costs a fortune. Shame I just received my online order from Magic Rock (23 Magic 8 Balls - hope it's as good as i remember!). Gonna have to hunt Un-Human down.

    Cheers for the heads up - hope you enjoy!!

    Was £10 on the Magic Rock site but sold out. Ales By Mail are charging £12.

    Holy fuck. Sold out on the Beer-Ritz sit within 90 seconds.

    Guess US-style hype has finally hit these shores.

    The one rating I saw of it said it was a good but not great 4/5. Definitely wouldn't have spent that much on it anyway.

    According to twitter Craft Beer Co sold out in under 30min at £20 a bottle. Yay for beer hype...

    You could have just aged standard porter in absinthe barrels.

    Arguably, this could be a contender for the UK's first true beer whale.

    Maybe it should have been called Cannon-whale. I'm sort of hoping that this shows up at Trembling Madness, but whether or not I buy will depend on the price....

    I had this tonight at Craft. Was decent but really not that great. A bit too sweet and boozy even for the ABV. Not as good as Cannonball or Human Cannonball.

    Debatable, the people stupid enough to go out of their way to buy this haven't heard of Magic Rock yet.
