Buffalo trace is very solid.

Some guys from school cancelled their patients for the morning so they could go get the chocolate beer and it was already sold out down town KC.

I though about trying it but coudln't find any but didn't really look too hard.

I'm a fan. At $16 a bottle, I'm in love.

I picked up a fifth of Buffalo Trace Bourbon last weekend when I was up there. Crazy what's available just 45 minutes north of me that we can't get in Arkansas.

They get the Goose Island Brewery (among many others) as well, which we can't get down here South of the Border. I really wanted to try that Pepe Nero (holy shit the packaging on that whole series is sexy), but I didn't spring for it.

I doubt it was last years. At least I didn't see it when I came through there in late December. I like that Pepe Nero. If you happen to be up that way again some time, and they still have the Chocolate Ale send me a smoke, I'd like to try it and would pay to get it shipped up here.

I'm an Old Charter man myself.

My mother-in-law lives in Bella Vista, so I'm up there fairly often. Unfortunately, she's snowbirding in Palm Beach until April, so I might not be up that way for a while.

Can't get Buffalo Trace up here unless you order through a distributor so that's exactly what I did. 1 case. Very good.
Been on the 4 Roses kick lately. Double on the rocks with a Rolling Rock at its side.

No problem. Just keep me in mind in case you stumble across one.

I saw 4 Roses, but I didn't bite. The name makes me think of Tequila Rose, which isn't a good thing. I should give it a try, though.

Just had a Chocolate from NDP. It's good. Very good. But I'm glad it's a once-a-year thing. I would get tired of it quickly. If you aren't lucky enough to try one, stop by the grocery store and pick up a quart of chocolate milk. It's the next best thing.

Titty Meat 01-31-2012 08:37 PM

I loved it. You could really taste the chocolate it's certainly a light beer which I prefer the mouth feel is great and best of all it's 9%!

O.city 01-31-2012 08:41 PM

YOu guys think they have that chocolate beer at Hyvee?

Titty Meat 01-31-2012 08:43 PM

I doubt it. I called the little Hy-Vee liquor store on 75th and stateline and they were out. I called just about every Liquor store within a 15 mile radius of Overland Park and they were all out along with CVS & Walgreens.

Bearcat 01-31-2012 08:43 PM

Seeing pretty mixed reviews... I've been drinking a lot of dark beer this winter and I'm used to the chocolate stouts and porters, so I think it just comes down to the amount of chocolate. If it's too subtle, the beer itself won't be dark enough to make up for it. Looking forward to trying it.

RockChalk 01-31-2012 08:43 PM

Choco Ale sold out at most stores within 1 hour in lawrence (based on the 3 I stopped at)

They haven't had BBQ for about a month. I'm sad about this. I should've check this thread sooner, as I wasn't aware of the BBQ, but it sounds fantastic.

Titty Meat 01-31-2012 08:45 PM

O.city or anyone else for that matter looking for it that live around KC/Overland Park I can PM you some places I know will be selling it in a few days.
