    Yup, I will happily buy that for $13-15. Just because I can.

    Just gonna remind everyone. Yes Apple Brandy Noir sounds awesome but let's remember exactly how much barrel influence we got in the other noirs... do as you please but i would temper my expectations.

    Definitely grab it if I come across it, but won't go out of my way.

    Wine noir had a lot of barrel character. Not everyone liked it but it at least had barrel character :wink:

    Agreed. Matter of fact I'm gonna open one tonight and see how its doing. Had great oaky wine barrel notes before.

    I really liked coffee and vanilla noir but not for the $$$. And the barrel presence wasn't strong, but it was nice.

    I'll agree there. It had great barrel contributon and was the best of the bunch. Still not paying $13+ for a 1 in 4 chance of getting a unique barrel aged beer.

    I liked it a lot, actually. It's different. Grapes are really coming through now. Simlar to Ska Hibernal Vinifera if you've ever had that.

    That's fair. Though I paid $9 for coffee and vanilla so that's a little easier to swallow (PUN INTENDED!) than $13.

    I loved Wine Barrel Noir. Ton of wine barrel in it. I should get some more...
    I can't wait to try this. All the Brandy barrel beers I've had big barrel character.

    Coffee and Vanilla Noir left a sour taste in my mouth. How was the wine barrel?
