    If anyone is interested in doing a side by side, I have mixed 4-packs of Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout at Lakeridge Liquors, Vadnais Heights. Two bottles each of 2012 and 2014 vintages. $9.99 per 4-pack.

    TW Woodbury has not received Abyss and told me this evening there is a good chance they are being left out this year. Production must really be down.

    The Abyss is a disappointment. Not going to grab anymore. Guess I'm spoiled with BA Darkness and BCBS. Central Waters BBS is much better.

    Anyone seen any Dino S'mores around the west metro?

    Also, thoughts on starting a Twin Cities Bottle Hunt 2016? My thought being its be nice to have an archive of releases by year.

    Well, that's what the 2015 label online said, just got a bottle though and it says 21% bourbon, 21% wine, and 8% new oak.

    As far West I can get for you is Lake Wine on Lake and Grand if you wanted to make the trip. They had singles behind the counter on Thursday afternoon.

    I also heard it didn't show up. With how Deschutes has been this year we will be lucky to get it before the 4th of July. They have not had a specialty beer arrive on time in a long time. Mixed with their declining quality, it's getting a bit frustrating to deal with them.

    OUCH! I thought 2012 and 2013 were decent, but I do agree with others that it has slipped and there are MANY other great stouts around.
