    Man, this is a great BA Coffee Stout. 12 oz. bottles = the bee's knees. Consider me giddy...

    I've loved this beer since the day I saw it. 12oz bottles is super exciting, not that Idaho will see any. To those that get some, cheers!

    Not only 12 oz, but 4-packs! That's awesome!

    Exciting to see this in 4 packs.

    I have not had it yet. I am interested to see how much Bourbon flavor there is. Although I initially bought a Bomber of it, I sent it away, and have not purchased it since. Hopefully it will be easy to grab one, try it, then go back for a 4 pack if it is good.

    Dang. I'd be interested in trying this again, especially in the smaller format. Let's see what can be worked out.

    Nice! The price tag on previous Java Cask bombers was a little too high for me to justify, so I never bought it, but a 4-pack is much easier to justify.

    Relatedly.... Does anyone know what retail price range we should expect for this?

    Maybe, we'll see what the price is.

    I've seen DFH Oak Vanilla WWS selling for $40+ a 4-pack. If it's that high, I'd rather the $14? that I paid previously for a 750ml bottle of Java Cask.

    That would certainly be a gross price point.

    I was sure hoping the 4 pack idea would force it into the $5/bottle price. $7/bottle is probably my top End on this.

    Yeah I don't think it would be that high, but the WWS was just an example where the 4-pack ends up forcing the price too high.

    Every time I saw Java Cask 750ml it was around $25, but I wasn't actively searching and probably happened to see it in the wrong places. A 4-pack in the $20-$30 range would be fine by me.

    Victory is usually pretty reasonable with the one exception being java cask, it was about $20/750ml here last year. I'd guess $25-$30 per 4 pack at which I think will be a good value on par with kbs prices around here.

    Very interested in the price, I think I got my 750s for $15.99 @ Wegmans last year

    Maybe they jacked it up last year, because I don't think I paid anything near that for the bottle of 2015 batch I had. Because I wouldn't.

    well people recently said that White Monkey bottles were being priced around $20, which seems crazy to me.

    Several of their bombers have been expensive for what they are. Personally.
