At the place: Trying to decide on pulling the trigger between EPC Card Mad 54 (Toro) @ $78.27/box of (20) OR Illusione mkultra (Corona) @ $102.87/box of (25). Love the EPCs, never had this Illusione

Would rather have the core line than the Cardinals....IMO.
I've heard good things about the Ultra but also have not had one.

I'm just not a fan of Illusione, they've never done anything for me.  Like the Epernays and the Rothchildes but everything else, no thanks.  Including the MK Ultra. Seems that I'm somewhat alone with the dislike of Illusione though. 

I'd definitely go with the EPCs between those two.

I forgot about the Rothchildes, they're only available in (50) right?

Thanks Dave, basically the same review as Halfwheel, 92 with the same flavors/strength notes in both reviews

Yep, just one size for those... a rothschild.

Ha, OK.  Yeah, full boxes of those are 50ct.

Scott - your beers are out out for delivery!  Hopefully the bottles are still in one piece.  I'm most curious to hear your thoughts on the Blue Ridge Coffee stout.  People don't really talk about Coronado Brewing company out here but I really like that particular beer despite the relatively low ABV.  It was the first coffee beer I tried and I think it stands up well compared to every one I've tried since.

Thanks Joe. I tried like hell to find some Founder's Imperial Stout to send but came up empty, I'll ship 2-day tomorrow. I found out on their website that it's not seasonal but also not year-round. Stouts will be back in a few months. I hope you like their Breakfast Stout I'm sending

No rush.  If you ship two day tomorrow USPS they'll just sit in the outdoor mail box at work until Saturday... so I can give you my home address or just wait another day, if you don't mind.  Let me know, either way is fine by me.

They're cheaper right now at CoH.  $237 for a 50ct box.
