    It's not even a question for me. This IS my favorite by them.

    I'm halfway into one of these and goddamn is it fantastic. One of my favorite coffee beers for sure.

    Seems to be much more coffee forward this year...to its detriment IMO....has become a great coffee beer, but I like it as a balanced coffee vanilla treat last year better...

    Not sure what the stores are selling it at but we had it for sale at the taproom for $14/750ml.

    I still have a bottle from last year. I may keep it longer so we can try it... in case we organize a tasting :rolling_eyes:

    Hopefully it aged better than Lechedor. As great as that beer was fresh, I had one last week and didn't find a lot of flavor left.

    Thankfully it is on the schedule to be brewed soon..

    This one really won't age that well... Your gonna loose all of the coffee and vanilla flavor

    Despite being barrel aged both the Bean Porter and Lechedor are best when they are fresh. You really start to lose the coffee/vanilla and the spices in Lechedor as they age. The beer won't be the same. We have another batch of Bean hopefully coming out in mid Januaray and Lecehedor coming out around the same time. More is coming!
