I have seen the Rogue special beers in the Stoneware bottles now and again and have never been able to bring myself to shell out the bones. I do not know what other folks have paid price wise but what I have seen is $16-18 for a single bottle which I believe is 750 ml?
Are they really that good or are you paying mostly for the cool bottle? I am a HUGE fan of barleywines (especially American) and was tempted to get Old Crustacean but could not do it. There is also the fact that I had Old Crustacean about 14(?) years ago before I was very beer savvy and i thought it was extremely harsh (was drinking craft beer at the time but much milder, Boulevard pale, bully porter...). If I recall correctly it was in a 6 oz. bottle? Do they still sell it this way?
So. Worth the price of admission or wait 'til I find a smaller portion?
