bockboy@att.net - December 3, 2024A. The Weller 12 year barrel (beer aged for 2 years in there) version 2020, tasted on 11-30-24 was delicious. Big bourbon flavor, but the stout still came through with some sweetness too.
Saigoda - September 26, 2019Hands down my favorite stout. Oily and thick with an incredibly rich in flavor. If you can manage, buy enough to have at least one a month. They just get better with age.
Rewoken06 - April 15, 2019Malts,oak,vanilla,caramel and that barrel burn all come together in the best Imperial Stout I have witnessed, four and a half because a five is waiting on the ?Unicorn? of Imp. Stouts. Only the price and and the 14.5 ABV can slow you down....there isn?t a better.......yet.
FabAru - December 20, 20182018 version, tried about three weeks later seems about the same. Delish. Powerful. Thick. Meant to be drunk slowly and savored. Block out other sensory experiences for this. The only strange thing I could note is, if the brewers dropped a shot of soy sauce into every couple bottles, would you know? Better to not think of cause this is too good for dumbass questions! Here is a not dumbass question: who is the turd that took the picture?
FabAru - November 25, 20182017 Vintage. Not worth the hype, but pretty damn close. Fortune put me in Chicago area on Black Friday, so Bourbon County was everywhere. Was able to buy the 2017 and 2018 version, w/o standing in line with the beer geeks. Cracked open 2017 first. The 2017 compares to Epics Big Bad Baptist; very similar, a little less sweet. (BTW, I can get Epics BBB any day of the week for the same price as BCBS, but in a bigger bottle. And I can pull it off the shelf myself and not have to use words like alottment.) BCBS has a perfect full body. Had heard the bourbon was really powerful, and thats not true. Strong, yes, but just right; however, this year old version surely mellowed. A little sweet, chocolate, and a little vanilla. Very, very well crafted. By the end of this beer, I ask, best (bourbon barrel) stout ever?
