    Any one traded this or traded for this recently? Or just have general info on this batch.

    Thanks.

    It's the best batch of Temptation at this point. Basically Temptation needs about 1.5 years in the bottle to get to the "brilliant" point, and batch 4 is in the sweet spot right now, plus it has the advantage of being a 750ml bottle which will theoretically prolong its glory.

    Value? Maybe about $50 of value, not sure what beer you could equate that to.

    Just traded a JP Sobre + Cascade Blueberry for one. It is one of my favorite beers though. I've gone through 4 of the B4 750's in less than a year, and am opening up another this weekend.

    It is tasting utterly fantastic right now.

    [edit] Agree with JAXSON about letting it sit for a year or two. One of the better aging RR sours imo.

    I'll IP you a MOAS. I think I have one left. (My spreadsheet says I do, that is! Also, my god, moving all this beer is going to be a nightmare...)

    I offered one as part of a larger trade for Hill Farmstead growlers ($4$) and didn't get any bites. So perhaps that is an upper limit on its value.

    Tasting great. I opened one for the captain Lawrence guys two weeks ago. Still have a bunch left.

    Trade a bottle I had for an Allagah Ghoulschip and was very happy with my trade.

    In y'all's opinion would this land a Temptation Batch4:

    Cantillon brouscella grand cry 2007 (750ml)
    3F golden blend (375)
    3F Oude Gueuze 2010 (375ml)
