    I imagine these aren't 1:1 despite bottle counts because of the insane demand DB Huna drummed up upon its release. I drank through mine and want one more before they essentially disappear.

    What class or tier of beer would I need to add to make this a solid offer?

    Coffee + BA Abraxas for DB Huna + Something on the level of Caffe Americano or Vanilla Rye

    Im thinking that should be on par

    at that point, wouldn't it just be BAA for DBH, 1:1?

    I havent seen that at all here? I guess it depends on your value of Caffe Americano or Vanilla Rye.

    I dont see VR going 1:1 for Coffee on a normal basis. I know right now it has been done due to everyone wanting VR

    Maybe not Caffe Americano then.

    I was gonna say I've seen DBH and BA Abraxas go 1:1 several times. I definitely don't have a BA Abraxas level beer to add to Coffee Abraxas, but that's what I'm trying to find out.

    Coffee Abra just isn't as sought out as DBH. You'd have to match that desirability with a similar caliber bottle. But if that's not an option utilizing coffee Abraxas as an anchor to a quantity trade could be appealing.

    Everyone I've talked to said that this is not as good as the base Abraxas. Rarity only factors in when a beer is great. Not saying it isn't a great beer or sought out, just giving my opinion from people that have tried it.

    DB Huna goes 1:1 with BA Abraxas and/or Assassin. I've seen it done many times and I've done it myself. You'll need another heavy hitter to combo with, and that still may not get done. Good luck!

    I know assassin went 1:1 with dbh when assassin was first released this year, but I've seen some people having trouble going 1+:1 now. BA Abraxas has still recently gone 1:1 with dbh but I think DBH is pulling away slowly. There just aren't very many out there anymore and BA Abraxas will be around next year, supposedly, dbh won't.
