    Love this beer, as does my father. What has this been trading for lately? Want to get my hands on at least one...if not a few more. Any help would be appreciated.

    And being "that guy"...if you have one and want to trade, let me know. Got crickets on my last ISO.

    Cheers!

    The last few I traded (around when it came out) were for BCBCS '10. I thought that was pretty fair. I'd probably do it for Vanilla or 2 for Rare. Maybe 1 Temptation b4 for 2 Cherry Rye or whatever the flavors of the month are.

    I traded a Cherry Rye for one straight up back in January. Both sides was happy.

    Yeah I was the other half of this trade and at the time felt I needed something bigger to get a Cherry, you were the only hit I got. I posted several ISO of Cherry with Temp B4 FT before I got a hit. I'm sure I'd have an inbox explosion if I did that today. Hope you enjoy it :slight_smile:

    I did Temp b4 for Cherry 1:1, probably could have gotten 2 Cherrys like you mentioned but I have no plans to ever drink any of the beer I have so I only need one to 'look at'.

    Is this sarcasm? I could see it going either way.

    BTW, before you respond, you could stop being so thin-skinned that I posted a funny article without knowing the guy it was written about. Don't shoot the messenger.

    Anyway, going 1:1 with Cherry? That's pretty generous of you. I definitely wouldn't do that. But then, I was able to buy a handful of Cherrys when I was in Long Island, so... meh.

    What was your ISO? I got one local.

    Glad to see its not just the twenty twelvers that like to win trades.

    I'm not thin skinned, I know it's not your fault you believe everything you read. Hope you didn't forget your 'jump to conclusions' mat today... :grinning:

    Intentional derp? :astonished:

    Anyway, trading a 4-year-old bottle 1:1 for a current, much-larger release of lower ratings* is being overly generous. You can characterize it as "winning" to ask for more, but at least there isn't an article about me saying I don't even drink my beer. Cheers!

    *The overall ratings are the same, but since it seems to be the consensus that batch 4 is the best, I figured the ratings for that one are much higher. Definitely assuming though.

    So you would be offended by such an article? Who is thin skinned here?

    I thought the article was great for the intended audience (which was not other beer traders). Too bad that aspect of a story seems lost on some people...

    Wasn't offended - that's why I called it "funny." You seemed quite pissy in the thread and had it deleted... Plus, you responded to my unrelated post today to bring it up again. So yes, I would call you thin-skinned.

    BAstoutsNsours Initiate (0) Sep 21, 2012 Florida

    Uh no, as usual you failed to either a) completely comprehend what's been written, or b) didn't read it. I originally responded because I have experience in trading B4 Temptation, but I guess you've already forgot about that as I now see you are clearly fixated on this topic?

    Wouldn't you respond to a thread which mischaracterizes you? The tide quickly turned on you in that thread, anyways, it wasn't me looking like the idiot before it was deleted...oh, and are you sure I deleted it? Looks like you did bring your 'jump to conclusions' mat today. I see a corner window office in your near future...:wink:

    What was this referring to if not last week's article, O Wise One?

    I don't even understand your end game here... You're [re]starting a fight you didn't want to have last week and now you're pretending you're not even upset. If it bothers you, why not just let it go?

    You sure? There was a photo with the article.

    On topic, this batch is drinking great, and it would take something pretty special to get my last bottle. I think the main problem is that there aren't going to be too many people out there with any left FT.

    What's your end game when you call out another BA you don't even know by posting only part of an article in an attempt to portray him in a negative light?

    If my original response about the B4 Temptation bothered you, why didnt you let that go?

    BTW, most people call me O Great One, you may refer to me as such.

    On topic as well here, you can still order Batch 4 Temptation for in house consumption at City Beer Store. Sometimes at Toronado as well.

    Yeah, I got mine from Toronado. It showed up a few times in a row, but afaik they haven't had it to go since the last Cable Car release.

    You still don't realize that you became the joke in that thread do you? I would suggest an MRI of the head to look for abnormalities but I don't think it could penetrate your skull. :0
