    It's on tap at Redbones too if anyone wants to try it before buying a bottle. They do 8.5 oz. pours as well.

    Tried getting the '15 batch and the Dist. Sent me a case of '14 at least I get to have some already aged. I ended up drinking the 2 I saved from last year

    Cape Cod. Might have to keep an eye out when I pass through the city.

    Guess I'm not getting the '15 this year, not sure what the deal is. I've seen the '14 version in a few stores, but no dice for this year's.

    Results:

    Had the 2014 last night. Kind of a disappointment. Not a bad beer, but no barrel character at all. Really sweet stout. Again, not a bad beer. I just loved it fresh.

    However, I thought the 2015 Belgian quad was a standout of the night. Excellent beer. I have another one in the basement but I may very well get one to drink sooner than next Christmas.

    *sigh*

    Seems my lone bottle of 2014 might be infected. Huge head for a BA stout. Tastes very sweet with red wine notes and a touch of funk. Bummer.

    I still have 3 bottles of '13. I was blown away by this beer. So solid every year.
