    Where are you located? I've seen it all over Roswell/Sandy Springs/Atlanta/Buckhead

    On a side note, does anybody know how long they brew WnB for in a given year? For instance I know that for Founders Breakfast Stout, the general distro is from Oct - Dec. Just wondering if WnB is roughly the same time frame for distribution.

    I want to get a case each of FBS and WnB before stout season is over, but I realize if I try to buy it all right now, I will drink it all before Christmas :slight_frown:

    Just want to make sure I don't miss out on this before it's no longer on the shelves.

    Just curious if Terrapin's special releases usually make it up to Jersey? We get their seasonals, but didn't see moohoochiato and was hoping to get some of that French Toast WnB

    I'll get some to bring with me! I don't think we have gotten it here yet, but it'll be around for a while.

    Did you get any Pumpkin Pie Porter? If so, MoohooChiato might not have made it there yet. It just got to Alabama like last week.

    That sucks...FBS is $9.99/$10.99 typically for a four pack. Haven't tried this yet, but I'd have a much harder time buying it consistently with that price tag.

    Just to give you some scope, I find FBS around these parts for $14 4pk.
    I compared the two and FBS has more character. WnB has a pronounced roasty coffee flavor and not much more beyond that; while FBS is coffee intensive with subtle hints of chocolate, mocha, and more.

    VA got the WnB last week, though I doubt we'll see any French Toast or other variations.

    I'm in super south Ga, like literally 20 minutes from the border of Fl. It is easier for me to drive to Tallahassee and get WnB and various other Terrapins than it is to find them at my local shops.

    MooHoo-chiato hit Jersey already. Picked up a bottle 2 weeks ago. Hoping French Toast W-n-B makes it up here soon

    WnB, MooHoo and second shipments of MooHooChiato are all over GA. No sightings or rumblings on FTWnB yet...

    I agree, WnB is drinking quite amazingly when "fresh" this year....

    This year's is incredible.

    I did a blind tasting with it, Breakfast Stout, and Peche Mortel, and it was a landslide victory for the WnB. It was really pretty shocking how much better it was than the other two. The Peche Mortel came in a very respectable second, and very suprisingly the Breakfast Stout was a distant last. I love Breakfast Stout too.

    I'll be able to get my hands on it for sure; I live in Athens and got 6 bottles of Cinnamon Roll'd last year. One of which is still cellared. Msg me; maybe we can work out a trade if you can't get it.

    This is definitely one of my all time favorites, and definitely my favorite from Terrapin. This year's is drinking just as good as ever, I always like to have it just barely chilled to get the full coffee flavors. I hope I can score some French Toast when it comes out.

    I tried trading some, but eventually I drank all 6 bottles :/

    no one offered a good trade

    One of the 2 local shops in Knoxville got it. They said its a limit of 4. (It comes in a 4 pack.) they charged $3.59 a bottle. Corks in Knoxville got one case of Moo Hoochiato. Limit one. I snagged one. Mcscrooges got one case of Moo Hoochiato. They are holding it until Black Friday. SMH.

    Terrapin usually sides with the smaller underdog disributror in the region which leads to these ridiculous practices.

    Hadn't tried a Peche Mortel up against those two but that's not a bad idea. I really like that beer. Did a Peche, Bourbon County Coffee, Mikkeller Brunch Weasel tasting and the Peche just didn't have the body the other two did. I have to admit that Brunch Weasel is my fav Coffee stout but at $10/12oz, W-n-B and Breakfast Stout so much more affordable and both still fantastic.

    This is the first time I've been able to get W-n-B and I think it's an incredible coffee stout. In comparison to this year's FBS, well, there is no comparison to me. W-n-B has a much more intense coffee flavor, better aroma, and better mouthfeel/body.

    I actually wish I had two 4-packs of W-n-B instead of a 4-pack of each.
