2023 variant. Mulberries, boysenberries, marionberries. I've never been a BCBS guy. Not at the beginning and not in the years since. What tends to happen is that I never buy any of them around the release, but rather pick up one or two in any given...
I'm not a huge fan of BCBS beers in general. I enjoy, on average, less than one per year I guess, and that includes all of the regular releases and the variants. This year, for once reason or another, I've had probably 2 or 3, and in quite a short...
2023 Release, drink by 27 AUG 28. $26.99. Jet black, oily pour with some very light (also oily) legs. An aggressive pour fails to yield any significant head. Even some light mocha splashes as a result of agitation are gone quickly. Nose isn't much...
2021. Drink by 09 AUG 26. I've always been almost 100% indifferent to every Bourbon County variant since the beginning. Having said that, if I see a bottle that I haven't tried, AND its a reasonable (often meaning markdown) price, then I'll give it...
2021 Vintage. Approx. $55 for the bottle. Ouch. Jet black pour - of course - head can be created with an aggressive pour. It’s tan. Nose is pretty solvent like. The legs on the beer are great, and obviously a function of the ABV but they are wine...
So I looked to see how many notes that I had for BCBS over the years and I see only these from 2006. Has it really been that long? Was this close to the first year of BCBS? I suspect the answers are, "Well, yes", and "Almost". Full disclosure. I'm...
12 oz single. Labeled as a brown ale, at first this doesn’t make much sense. With the Christmas theme fairly obvious from the labeling and name, the beer has a hoppier approach than I was expecting/hoping. I was hoping for a more spice based, malt...
Unusual volume for the bottle at 765 mL, or 25.9 oz, but I'll take it. Thick glass, dimpled bottle bottle $19.99 for the privilege. Decent pop on opening, and a very aggressive pour does produce so beige head. However, as expected this is gone...
Pour is a bright yellow, lemon colored affair with a cloudy appearance. Head is vey slight, weak and wispy. Carbonation slightly above average. The nose has plenty of apple based, funky, organic cider notes. Very reminiscent of my experience around...
22 oz bottle purchased on a recent trip to NY. Pour is a very standard, jet black with a little ring of mocha lace that settles around the edges of beer, plus a thin film over most of the surface of the beer. Some decent alcohol legs on the side of...
Another example of how strangely one can get to taste these beers that are highly sought after without even trying. I got to get a decent taste of this at a recent BA gathering in Charleston, but given the size of the pour, and the number of other...
12 oz single from Jungle Jim's, Cincinnati, OH, USA. 2009 vintage. Bottled pictured is a 22 oz version in 2011. Bottled on 10/05/09. Also has 2019 printed next to it which I first thought might be a BB date, but that would contradict the text on...
Delighted to pick this 22oz bottle up from Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati. Presentation is great with the green gold and white label adding a classy touch to the beer. The paper is a little higher quality too, with that slightly textured, cotton...
2007 Vintage, Updated Review 02/09. 750 mL bottle that offers a very similar (almost identical) experience as detailed below. I don't dislike this beer, but I must admit I don't quite understand it. Original Review 02/08 12 oz single, thanks to...
12oz single - part of a recent trade. Thanks. Dark, dark brown body with very little head and no lace. A few reddish brown highlights near the bottom of the glass. A bit flat in the glass, not much life. A nice, rich alcohol in the nose. A little...
Thanks to Vancer as part of CEO/Old Farts BIF. 12oz single bottle. Poured into the Tucher Weizen, 0.5L glass. Pale golden body, distinct lack of head, carbonation and lace despite an aggressive pour. Cloudiness present. Extremely mild beer - very...
From Vancer as part of CEO BIF. 12 oz bottle. Poured aggressively into the Tucher Weizen glass. Good looker - pale banana yellow body and the classic, Hefe/Weizen-like head. Apart from the look (which I think is good) this is an amazingly...
Thanks to Vancer as part of the CEO/Old Farts BIF. 12 oz bottle. This is a tricky one. From the name I was expecting some kind of Fest/Autumn/spiced brew. In the bottle I got what amounted to an American IPA. Good color, decent head and some...
Wasn't expecting much, as I picked this up as a split sixer from Trader Joe's for $1.09, but was actually quite surprised. Great looking pour. Fantastic deep brown color and a very nice, large and substantial head that leaves some nice lacing....
12 oz bottle bought as a single at Liquor Barn, Lexington, KY, USA. Solid offering of the style. Pour is really dark brown. Small head with very little lacing. Plenty of mild, smoky malts. Delicious. Good caramel malts apparent too. Good bitterness...
12 oz single from Liquor Barn, Lexington, KY, USA. I don't know if this is your typical English bitter, in fact I know it's NOT, but nevertheless it is a pretty nice drink. Nice light color, but a fast fading head. A small amount of lacing. To me...
On draft at Mellow Mushroom in Lexington with BEERchitect. Very good value at about $2.00 a pint! Fairly standard looking in terms of the color, but the head & lacing was superb. The lacing was both extensive and sticky. Aroma was overwhelmingly...
I knew this was going to be huge, and I was not disappointed. Inky black pour with a small tinge of cognac brown in a ring at the top of the pour after the dark tan head has disappeared. The smell and the taste are quite exceptional. Layer after...
2003 edition (I think). BB 03/28/04. Beautiful red/brown dark color with a smashing looking head, lovely thick, tan color with some nice lacing. Rich, smooth fruit and marzipan aroma. Mouthfeel is good, but it doesn't quite live up to the smell...
