    Central Waters 16 , attainable without having to kill yourself or lose a leg in trade. Great beer.

    I want this, the only Other Lagavulin barrel beer I tried was JW Lee and it sucked.

    Agreed, one of the best BA stouts I had this past year. Although, the bottle count this year was roughly 800 (Feb release), so might make it a bit harder to find

    If you're into Pumpkin Stouts, St A's Pumpkinator is a good one with something like a 93 here on BA. It's definitely more on the spiced side if thats you're thing. If you're interested Dave hit me up and I can send you a couple/few when it comes out. We'll call it our first "trade" but consider it a gift :slight_smile:

    If you've already have it or no interest, no hard feelings.

    Depends upon vintage though. I thought 14 was too hot and boozy. Maybe it'll chill out ...

    But, of course, some people really like to lean into the bourbon on their BBA stouts so it might be a matter of preference.

    We are gonna have this one at the Doom Saloon hosted by @doomXsaloon which is in a town just southwest of New Paltz, NY, which is 70(?) miles north of NYC. Easy to pick up and drop folks off at the Poughkeepsie Metro North train station, but quite an easy drive, exit 17 or 18 on Thruway. Let me know I will make sure you get an "official" invite :slight_smile:

    I really enjoy Eclipse stouts too, obviously expensive as hell for a large tasting, but I always have some put away.

    The Straight to Ale Laika and barrel aged variants are great and easy for me to get! Also Terrapin Reserves

    Stuff from down here in FL:
    Obviously DB Huna if you have the ammo.
    Cycle/Peg's stouts (the following are bottled, not growlers): Nooner 6, RareR DOS - I personally like Cycle stouts better than CCB. Nooner 6 is rye whiskey Rare DOS and pretty incredible. Although the bottle count is low (around 500 I think) and it was limit 3 per or something, people don't seem to be holding it for ransom. And RareR DOS is the best rum BA stout I've had, in case you haven't had it and aren't big on rum BA stuff. There are people out there with quite a few bottles of the 2014 release so it should also be attainable for your tasting.

    I also second CW 16 from the post above. Probably the easiest top notch BA RIS to get; just as good as any instawhale stout I've had this year.

    Vietnamese Speedway is out of this world, try your best to get that.

    I also had A Night to End all Dawns- Coffee last night, that was similarly amazing. Getting the set would be a great pull for your tasting, I'm guessing.
