    We've gone through this joke before... a couple of rounds...

    PS: Yes, I know, it's real bear. No, it has no testicles in it and it won't make you grow a pair.

    My bad--this one really does have the RMO:
    That's what I call a "gimmick".

    So number one is in a different class yet on a separate thread you stated the Volume 1 should be rated 100. That doesn't do justice for the superior beer as there is no more room for it to go up.

    I wonder how a fresh Peruvian Morning would have placed in your line up? Nice tasting.

    Absolutely loved 4 Hands Volume 1, glad to see it get some recognition. Great coffee and chocolate flavors, meld well with the bourbon. Great beer.

    Yeah I second the Cafe Royale.

    But by far, BCBCS is probably the tops of what I've had so far. Love to have some KBBS sometime!

    I think Peche Mortel deserves a mention - although I do prefer fresh KBS.

    That's not barrel aged though, is it?

    doublechecked and you are correct so I'll have to retract my suggestion. It has an undeniably strong whiskey flavor though - strange. Many notes I found were "commonly mistaken as barrel aged" so I don't feel quite as stupid as I did.

    I'll nominate KBS in its stead.

    Though the bourbon, or lately its been whiskey, barrel is not very prominent at all, IMO. Of the 7 or so times I have enjoyed this gem, I really only got a respectable bourbon/whiskey barrel presence from it once.

    For ones that I've actually had, I'd go with Peruvian Morning (have lucked out and never had an infected one). Second would be KBS.

    I am fairly certain that if I ever get to try Kentucky Brunch from Toppling Goliath, that will be my #1. Hopefully next release!
