Re: Surly Darkness - The most sought after beer ever?
Is this the same Surly that sells bike frames? They are based in the Metro some where, and I have heard they have a brewery. Anyways their bike frames have a great rep as being a awsome bang for the buck. And owning one makes you cool amongst the bike crowd.

Re: Surly Darkness - The most sought after beer ever?
I don't know about the bike frames. The coffee bender is insanely good! The other weekend when I was there I had 4 'samples' of it!

Re: Surly Darkness - The most sought after beer ever?
Well I opened one of the two bottles last night, and I must say:
DAMN! It is so good! Very very flavorful, very strong taste, and I can see why this is so sought after. The bottles on ebay are going for a minimum of $150, one went for $400!
I think I shall open and drink bottle #2, selling it would be a waste....

Re: Surly Darkness - The most sought after beer ever?
Bringing this back from the dead. I found a more sought after beer than darkness:
And damn it was delicious. Tried 2 ounces, but that was almost too much. Future tastings in the coming months will be just 1 ounce.

Re: Surly Darkness - The most sought after beer ever?
Oh yea, forgot to mention, this is the 2009 vintage. They only release 8000 bottles every two years. Aged for 16 years, combination of several beers aged in different types of bourbon barrels, sort of like a blended whiskey. 27% abv.
Bottles go for over $200 on eBay, glad I found it at some random liquor store, in the wine section of all places.
