Flying Mouflan

Has anyone tried this one yet?

It sounds crazy from the description:

Tröegs Flying Mouflan
Alcohol by Volume: 9.3%
Hop Bitterness (IBU's): 100-ish
Color: Dark Mahagony
Availability: April 22oz. Bottles Only
Malts: Euro Pils, Vienna, Munich, Dark Crystal
Hops: Warrior, Chinook, Simcoe
HopBack Hops: Whole leaf Nugget, Simcoe
Yeast: Ale
JuJu: Cane Sugar

Dubbed the Flying Mouflan (for reasons that become clearer toward the bottom of the glass) this strong alluring ale is two beers in one. Cracking open a fresh bottle unleashes hops and heat with more than 100 IBUs emanating from three hop varieties and sweet burn of 9.3% ABV. Cellaring the Flying Mouflan in a cool dark place at 50 degrees for a minimum of four months will mellow out the hops and wash away the heat. If you can resist temptation you will be rewarded with two memorable beers in a single bottle.

I saw a case for around $75, but I'm holding out hoping the bottle shop has a few.

Hold out. In two weeks I begin working in Harrisburg, I'll stop by Troegs and grab some.

Thanks man. I definitely like barley wines more than IIPAs or whatever you would call this, so I would love to try one fresh and then again sometime this coming winter.

I found one yesterday ($7.50) so I only picked up one.
I'll report back after I've had it to give a proper review.
