    The 5th entry to our Capricho Oscuro series is finally bottled today. This beer is a blend of at least five different beers, including Hot Blooded Foreign Stout, Puppy's Breath Robust Porter, and several vintages of Warmer Winter Winter Warmer. These beers were aged in some cognac and brandy barrels before being blended together. This will be a tasting room exclusive. Details on everything will be announced in the coming days on our social media platforms. At last it's back! Oh and its in 12oz bottles

    Between $5 and $10 depending on the batch. I believe batch 4 was $10.

    Pure speculation here, but this one sounds like it might be expensive given the multiple barrels and lots of blending.

    All of the past batches have been blends. Although I'm pretty sure those were blended first and then aged in a single barrel, while this one sounds like it was blended after barrel aging. I would still expect them to be around $10 for a 12 oz. Almost all of their barrel-aged 750s have been consistently $20 (aside from BA Hunahpu).

    Hopefully this is out and sticks around for a few days. I'm going to need to do a run next Friday to the tasting room it sounds like.

    It's a good thing you host when you're bringing Blue Moon Cabernet to the, ahem, table.
