Velvet Merkin

Thanks - he's a good egg.

 

Didn't last long at CBC...maybe 10 minutes.

 

Sounding like this one will be near impossible to get. FW's releases are starting to be KBS levels of obnoxious

 

Blanchards Allston had some today I got 1 bottle

 

that good a beer huh? glad I got one

 

One more left at liqour world porter Sqaure

 

Any sightings in NH yet?

 

Bummer...thanks! How about Maine?

 

Atlas in Medford had some out back for $13.99.

 

Talked to the owners of the CBC in Westford. It's coming this week.

 

Kappy's in Medford still had some out back today.

 

Keep an eye on Twitter and the car gassed up. If I was a betting man I'd say Friday, but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason on FW distribution timelines and store to store differences.

 

I'm really glad I didn't have to try hard at all to get this because I was not impressed. I hope everyone else loves it. Happy hunting.

 

Watery?

 

It was too thin but the taste, for me, fell flat as well. It was lifeless. Some of the characteristics of the base beer didn't mesh well with the small bit of barrel character there was.

 

I wasn't really feeling this year's Merkin. I think I hyped it up too much. Followed it with PNC stout and that was a serious stout.

 

I got the last one at atlas. It's a good beer but nothing special. I wouldn't go out of your way to find I but I would buy it again if it was available. The barrel character was there but it was light at the end. It got better when it warmed up a bit as I intended to not have it too cold.

 

Went quick at CBC Westford. Got the second to last one.
