    $12 or $13 for Chimay and Westmalle. Some friends and I have been discussing going in on a bottle of Utopia together, to defray the cost. So, nothing too expensive.

    I wasn't too fond of it for those reasons. Maybe it's settled down a bit with age. The first batch was on point.

    Since I'm pretty new to the trading forums, I've never the postings directly after DL Day.. would you say it's much more likely to score some of the BA DL variants (particularly Vanilla Bean) right after DL Day?

    $20 for The 1st Nail (The Pine Box anniversary beer brewed by Fremont). Was a cinnamon-bomb, kinda tasted like apple pie. Looking forward to seeing how my second bottle mellows over time.

    $160 for Utopias - worth it at least once - probably wouldn't buy again.

    I honestly cannot remember, so it must not have been that much. I'm pretty certain that I have yet to exceed $20 for a bomber or 750. It may even be yet to exceed $15. But if the beer struck me right, I might spring for it.

    $40 for a 750 ml of Brooklyn's Black Ops. $36 each for 22 oz bottles of DuClaw Retribution with Cocoa and Retribution with Vanilla. Not at the same trip to the beer store, though, that would just be madness!

    Gotta always remember that's what a BMC costs a sporting event.
    That's my personal justification.

    Jeez I am still stingy I guess, $19.50 per bomber of 2012 Dissident was probably the most for me. Though I'm in the $12 - 15 range all the time.

    Not too bad- shelf price of the XV out here is 18.99, so by Maine standards you got a steal.
