    Earth & flame is worth every penny. I'll have to give this one a try too.

    Had this on Cask at Big Brew NY and it was delicious. Can't wait to grab some bottles.

    Is that a 750? Which still has all the problems of a bomber. Price and more high ABV beer than I want at a sitting.

    Yes, Victory's 750 ml bottles are corked and caged. Their 22 oz bottles are capped.

    But maybe not down here in MD or NoVA yet, perhaps. I'll keep my eyes open for it. Thanks for letting me know that its out in Philly area stores, at least!

    Cheers!

    Why is it in a 750 instead of a bomber? I've never thought of porter as a style you'd need to cork and cage.

    I just had this from the bottle last night. I did not love it, but I thought it was a solid chocolate porter. However, I do not see myself reaching for another bottle of it. On the other hand, I thought Earth & Flame was really good. That was a nice new surprise from Victory in the barrel-aged space.
