    My first Bramble was June of last year. Never had one "fresh". Loved it since day 1 of having it, when everyone was still saying it sucked.

    Does that mean it might trade for shelf Cantillon someday?

    Cherry is just as sweet as Bramble. Even BCBS is extremely sweet. For a forum that pisses Bruery beers I wouldn't think anyone would have a problem drinking either

    It's been doing that since release, as I think I've traded "shelf Cantillon" $4$ towards at least a dozen bottles combined of Cherry, Bramble, Coffee, and even a couple of Vanilla (which was 1:1 for Fou'Foune, unlike the others).

    Oh yes I'm well aware. Inside thing between myself and Bad_Trader, ya had to be there. In short, she scolded me for having the audacity to swap CR for Cantillon lil while back. Informed me all styles of Cantillon, beers that have been in international distribution channels for decades, were "walez bro". But now it seems CR is "walez bro" too. Poor girl is mixed up.

    It stemmed from me simply asking somebody where they got the info implying 150 cases total of CR were produced. She then accused me of buying all the CR in my state and holding it as leverage over my fellow local brethren for nothing less than "walez bro", er, shelf Cantillon....and perhaps, gasp, the almighty KH....all because I said I preferred IP trades, oh the horror.

    Bramble tastes like robitussin and purple flintstones vitamins smashed up in an exceptional stout. It is like when someone buys a GTR and then puts a stupid ass body kit, wing, and extraneous shit on it, it's like, just leave it alone it was fine already.

    however, that purple medicinal quality is perfect for getting preteen palates drunk straight up Humbert Humbert style.

    Gotta roll that Ti exhaust/coffee; other than that, spot on.

    Let me guess, you haven't had it in 2013? I also thought it was medicinal fresh, but has now mellowed into the best variant at the moment. I had it against Rare, KH, Vanilla, Cherry, and Coffee '12 on Black Friday and Bramble was the winner on several scorecards.

    tell you what, I will open Rare, Vanilla, Cherry, Bramble, Coffee, and a 2012 and a 2008 BCBS head to head sometime in the next month. Then I will resurrect this thread and let you know if Bramble was not definitively the shittiest BCBS in the group. I suspect that it will be, but we shall see.

    We just recently did a tasting of the bourbon county lineup, and behind rare and vanilla, my next favorite was by far bramble! Just had a great flavor and has aged very well! That's why I have been trading my huna's for it.

    Ten inches limp. I'd trade my Hyundai for a ticket to this tasting.

    The brewer told me he is working on another berry variant; a mix of Boysenberry, Huckleberry, and another (I forget). Also testing coconut out in a bottle.....

    You would be foolish to drink those when you could trade that pod of shelf whales all day for rare loons

    Well actually bramble is better so I would have to say bramble trades higher. And since I'm always right there is really no
    Point in arguing

    I got to try Coconut RareR DOS last weekend, and thought it was fantastic. Here's to hoping someone rolls the die and lands on that flavor for the next variant.
