    Yeah, there's something wrong with the nose on regular Baba Yaga. It doesn't affect the flavor, but the nose is bad on some bottles, bad enough you can't get to the flavor. I experienced a bottle like that last weekend. :slight_frown:

    Having had most NEIPAs in lexington I think Fadtastic is by far the best. Mirror twin comes in second but pretty far behind and west sixth isnt really even in the running.

    100% agree. Fadtastic is the best one around in Lexington and baring only trying a couple of mile wide beers, the best in the state. Low beam is pretty good though. Sorry to say I just don’t like any of mirror Twins offerings. Every beer I have had has been sub par.

    Yeah I dont think mirror twins are that great but I think they are better than low beam. Low beam was too bitter for the style and just didnt have a lot of flavor imo.

    Did you have a recent low beam? That beer has changed a lot since I first had it in August.

    Coffee is one, Mexican Chocolate is the 2nd, I've heard a few possibilities for the 3rd, but nothing for certain.

    Anybody know if there are still bottles of Snakes in a barrel at West Sixth? Heading to Lex tomorrow and might make a pot stop if they do.

    Also, I saw Westport got Ambruana-aged London Balling from AtG in... $23.99 for a 12oz bottle. Wtf? That’s what they charged for Bo & Luke in 750’s.

    I'm fairly certain they do. If you call ahead, they will tell you.
