    I'd like to gather a few thoughts on a potential trade I'd like to propose, but want to know if I am way off in either way.

    I'd like to land any of the following: Dark Lord (any year), Some Bourbon County Bombers (Not sure which ones to ask for), Founders Better Half, Abraxas, Darkness
    I have a "set" of the recently released Pipeworks beers to trade:
    (All were distro, but limited and one-off)

    1 Over the Line (BA "Hey, Careful Man, There’s a Beverage Here" White Russian Imperial Stout aged in Heaven Hill Bourbon Barrels)
    1 As You Wish (Elijah Craig Bourbon barrel aged Imperial Porter)
    1 Coqui ("Batata Obscura" aged in rum barrels)
    1 Delicatessen (BA Pastrami on Rye)
    I believe that there is a fifth in the series coming out this week (Bourb BA Abduction), and I should bave access to this too

    Is a 5:1 trade enough for the beers listed above? too much? too little?

    I know that usually the more limited beers trade for more limited beers and quantity is less preferable than quality.

    Thanks for your thoughts!

    5:1 is WAY too much too offer for bottles of Dark Lord, Abraxas, or Darkness.... Curmudgeon's Better Half is more difficult to land because it isn't being made anymore... and the BC bomber variants I wouldn't comment on specifically because some of them are much more difficult to acquire (Rare, BCBVS) than others (Backyard)...

    Just my two cents, but you should be able to go 1:1 or 2:1 (depending on the specific bottles offered on your end) to land a Dark Lord, Darkness or Abraxas... these are all limited distro / brewery only releases and they should be traded relatively close to $4$... actually for what it's worth, Abraxas saw pretty wide distro last year compared to DL and Darkness...

    Good luck.
