Just sitting down to a glass of FC myself. Finishing up my first bottle, and I must say it's really grown on me.
I still wish it was a couple bucks cheaper around here, but it's certainly worth the $18. My 2nd favorite under $20 drink (behind OGD100).
Since you like fighting cock, you might like the old heaven hill gold label, it's very similar, and cheaper. Some of the other heaven hills aren't as good as the gold label.
My nephew tried the FC on my recommendation and liked it too. I think its as good as fancy bottle stuff for less cash.
Cheers!
Boy, I'd really love to try it, but as far as I know, none of the HH-branded bottles are available in my state (VA).
My only options for that range of HH products are the full EW line. I like EWW, and always keep a bottle on hand, but I find it has a rich, chocolately sweetness that is sometimes off-putting to me (not much of a sweet tooth and not a huge chocolate fan in general). I generally prefer heavier caramel/vanilla tones to chocolate and banana.
Anyway, the point is I would absolutely love to have another $13ish option available around here. I much prefer FC, but it's more expensive. No HH. No VOB. I probably just need to make sure and stock up on FC when it's on sale.
