    Dark Lord.

    Sure, some people's tastes vary, maybe you like Dark Lord without a barrel, but a lot of people don't (the vast majority of the people I've met, for instance). And there have been multiple people who has said that both Hall and Porter have said that Cook County Stout is awful. Oh, also, Sexual Chocolate is widely regarded as way inferior to the BA version. It goes the other way too, some beers don't really benefit from barrel aging, usually because they're too thin, etc (most BA porters I've had fall into this category).

    Do you ever wonder why Firestone doesn't release the bases of Parabola and Abacus? Why the Bruery doesn't release the base of Black Tuesday? Why Founders KBS's base isn't just FBS? My guess is that it's because the bases aren't very good.

    When do you think that this will hit the Boston area? Maybe two or three weeks?

    Or b/c the beers were originally produced during a time where everyone was making everything for a barrel.

    I dont know if this has been mentioned yet but a friend of mine heard from a local sales rep, that he may have gotten a little drunk :wink:, and the rep said it is officially being called Bourbon County King Henry Collaboration BW. Has anyone else heard anything like this???

    Per Brett, there won't be AS MUCH as BCS, but there will be a lot. Even if they filled half those barrels they would have a ton of beer!

    If I take a sharpie and crudely crawl "King Henry" across the logo, will I be able to trade this for whales?
