I wouldn't say it's a flat beer, just doesn't feel as carbonated as other styles. Might be due to the alcohol content...just guessing.ernest_t_bass;1596473 wrote:I'm not much of a stout drinker. Is it a "flat" beer?
I love how the Cherry in it is tart instead of sweet. One of my favs too. Almost an intro beer into sours. Almost...Sonofanump;1596757 wrote:I like it more than most, it my fav bell's stout.

I tend to agree, although I'm not sure if I had it this year. I used to LOVE it many years ago, but the last few times I've had it I was underwhelmed by it. Used to be a go to stout for me years ago even though it was pricey. We didn't have it in Ohio for a year due to the ABV being too high. When it came back the next year it wasn't as good as in years past as I remembered.

I've only had expedition a few times, I think 3 yrs ago and I loved it. Then the most recent batch, while solid, I prefer the smoother/creamy/chocolatey founders IRS.
Had my last pumking last night, have you guise heard if it? Best beer ever. /etb
On the hunt for stone IRS, i saw on untappd that some on here have had it already!

Traded away my last bottle (along with a Big Bad Baptist) for a couple cans of Heady Topper, looking forward to trying it. And hopefully scoring some KBS, next week could be a great beer week for me.Curly J;1595966 wrote:I've been putting away a lot of Hop JuJu lately. I just love that stuff.

For what it's worth, a family member manages a store in mich that got a case of kbs. Sold out in 20 sec, never saw the floor. Employees took them all. Hype on kbs is getting crazy.

Like cherry stout better than java. 4/20/14 is outstanding.

DF American Beauty last night. Really good, liked the granola,honey. Pretty boozy on the finish. Was wanting just a bit more flavor though.

Stouts make for some incredible flatulence.

Won't hit here in the Cincy area until Monday. I might not even get any this year as there is such a huge hype behind it. Oh well, I still have some from last year and 2 years ago.Commander of Awesome;1597040 wrote:Kbs is already out. Good luck.

I actually tried to bribe the bier wench with a 50 I deal with North of Dayton. She laughed at me and said she's actually been bribed with more than that. She said she never knows exactly when OR how much she's getting other than It will never hit the shelves. FML....Curly J;1597372 wrote:Won't hit here in the Cincy area until Monday.

Depends on if it doesn't hit shelves so they can sell to regulars, or doesn't hit shelves so they can horde it to themselves.
With deschutes now in Ohio, anyone see/try Mirror Mirror yet? Saw it on the shelf here, but was a bit pricey.

I think most times these special releases are getting hoarded by the employees
