That could explain why I was the first person to rate the O’Fallons version in almost two years.

I’m pretty sure it should’ve been retired. They wouldn’t be serving two different Bailey’s Chocolate Ales at two different Bailey’s restaurants at the same time. I’m 98% sure that O’Fallon is long-retired and that Perennial is the only one at all Bailey’s restaurants at this point.

This admin’s description in rating seems to agree with what you’re saying here

The old one has been retired. The sole duplicate rating (I won’t name any names, Homer321) is in the new entry, and the other new rating on the old entry has been moved.

Yep, the O’Fallon one is definitely not being produced anymore.

It’s Perennial’s beer now.

Excellent, thanks guys. I’ll ask again here if I encounter any more mysteries while chomping my backlog.

That or most barrel aged stoots are on par with a nice malt.
