    Release this Saturday at noon (bottle share/yoga/Wii bowling before).
    Didn't get to taste last year's batch. I read on here that there were infection issues for some people. Anyone giving it a shot this year? Anyone with uninfected bottles that can comment on how good it was? Imperial milk Stout in rum barrels sounds right up my alley, but I'd be interested to hear others' opinions. How does it compare to BB Up All Night?

    It was really good last year (fresh). Unfortunely I had 2 go bad but they were quick to replace them with another beer. I had it on draft multiple times and got 4 bottles at the release (2 of which I aged).

    I will definitely grab another couple bottles this year.

    I really liked last year's. None of my bottles were infected but they didn't last long. It was my favorite BA release from Triple C last year. I am grabbing a few bottles this year for sure.

    Anyone know if they use muddy river barrels? That would be pretty awesome.

    I had an infected one which the brewery made right (without my asking for it)... I would love to get another to try but alas can't make it to the release this year.

    we couldn't get enough for this batch but we do have some Up All Night aging in one of their barrels.

    Hope everyone enjoys The Dude this year! We have a much more robust lab program now and did a lot of QA work on this year's batch. Sadly that meant dumping several barrels.

    Cheers!
