Hardywood BA GBS Release

May be able to grab one at my shop tomorrow. Can get it to you at cost if so. I'll shoot you a BM if I'm able to nab one. Also, @ncaudle might be able to help you out.

 

Hey Guys Trader Joes at Baileys crossing has some barrel aged GBS!!!!! no limit....(but always think of others....)

 

Hey Guys, Does this age well?

 

In a word, No. Just like regular gbs, and most adjunct stouts, age does not do this one any favors. I've had aged a year, and two years, and have found to just drink it fresh.

 

If you can get a hold of more than one, I'd say it's certainly worth aging one based on my experience.

I'll completely agree with regular GBS (sadly, still have like 4 or 5 left from a few years back....makes good reductions though..). However, I had a two year old for Thanksgiving and it was outstanding. The booziness almost completely dropped off and the barrel notes came across as vanilla or almost coconut.

 

it was 13 at trader joes

 

I can't remember BGBS ever being boozy... even the non bottled versions back in 2012

 

Had it on tap at Sedona during a takeover when BA Belgian DIPA was released not too long after it opened (Sedona that is)3 months old maybe? I remembered it as being hotter than it was when I popped it open on turkey day.

 

Ya that first batch was just tannic and overly oaked, not much bourbon at all. I haven't had it since, is it worth trying to score a bottle if it comes down to the 757?

 

I like this years BGBS, though it's not big on the barrel treatment - think it tastes like OG GBS

 

Except without the feels of the OG

 

Coffee GBS Saturday

 

I just saw Christmas Morning on Instagram. I won't make it on Saturday, but will be in RVA on Sunday. Is this going to be a limited release like Trickery (sell out in an hour and that's it)?

 

It's hitting limited distro. But with the 4 bottle limit, I don't expect this to last the day. There was much less of this and Rum than BA GBS.

 

Damn im stuck at work saturday and was hoping it'd last until sunday

 

Oh well. Hopefully they have some on tap on Sunday.

 

What do we think the price on the Xmas morning will be?

 

I'd guess around 10-12

 

Yep. Just found out Christmas Morning will be $10.50 a bottle.
