Tavour - Know it? Tried it?

What the? Drive down to Denver, pretty sure I wasn't paying $18 for a 6 pack when it hit town last time (but who knows, guess it's possible).

Most six packs up here in the great north get split into singles....

Tavour's currently selling Destihl Counter Clockweisse for $7.99 per 2-pack. Is it jsut me, or does that sound mad high?

That's pretty high but not horrendous given the service. I paid $11 for a 4-pack here in philly for reference.

I was tempted to ask for 30, just to see if they'd actually send it to me.

just signed up for this, and saw that they have a fremont brewing bourbon barrel aged oatmeal stout. **** yes

In a sea of barrel-aged monoliths there is one shining star that dark beer fans worship like no other …

Fremont Brewing’s Dark Star Bourbon Barrel Aged Oatmeal Stout.

2015’s version is aged longer than ever before and fans have been bombarding the brewery months prior to its release because locals know: this fabled beer runs out fast! We’ve been pulling in every favor we can to secure as much of it as possible.

This year’s release marries 18, 12 and 8-month batches of bourbon barrel-aged Dark Star in 12-year old Kentucky Bourbon barrels. Blending yields immense complexity and creates a flavor profile that can’t be replicated in any single batch.

Nothing can prepare you for the skull splitting symphony of pure whiskey flavor. Notes of spicy chocolate char, fruity tobacco and ribbons of coconut spill over the palate in a 14.5% ABV torrent of booze, booze and more booze.

Generous amounts of oats imbue Dark Star with the velvet-like mouthfeel you yearn for in an Oatmeal Stout and an endless bounty of toasted aromas outshines any bottle of bourbon.

Seattle dark beer aficionados lie in wait for Dark Star – they know just how limited reserves are and how stiff competition can be. As soon as it’s released, they battle purchase caps at the brewery and specialty bottle shops alike – all in order to walk away with as much of this coveted, wax-dipped creation as possible.

Yeah I typically delete their emails because they tend to offer a lot of overpriced crap,but I just checked and wow, they have some good ones lately.

Fremont KDS and Breakside Passionfruit Sour are up on Tavour currently; the price for the latter is pretty steep @ $9.99,but KDS is very very reasonable. Maxed out on that for sure.

I've heard bad things about this year's Passionfruit. Lots of bottle variation apparently, and the bad ones are nothing like last year's. So tread carefully.

Thanks for the heads up. That explains why I had a bottle recently that definitely wasn't as passionfruity as I remember, potentially overattenuated too.

I'll have to crack open my other bottle of it tonight and see if it's the same.

Also finally ordered for the first time for KDS, pretty decent shipping price too. Hoping theres some other stuff worth adding to that before it ships.
