    This is very confusing. Why would they make the same beer under a different name?

    Is it a different type of coffee, perhaps? Dunno

    Its hard to charge extra for something if you don't change the name.

    Maybe it's just a label for a celebration.

    That label looks pretty awful. Doesn't look real to me.

    Extra ingredient yet to be added to the label is genuine birthday cake. I think that warrants an additional $1 per bottle at least.

    I'll still try to pick one up. I'm still hunting Pirate Bomb. Got my grubby mitts on some BA Bomb and wasn't impressed. Hopefully this one hits the spot.

    I've had Bomb! multiple times and a few of its variants, I never feel overly impressed (considering the hype). Yet i keep dropping $10.99 on a 12oz every time I have the opportunity too, go figure.

    A few weeks ago I did a side-by-side taste comparison of:
    - Regular BOMB!
    - Christmas BOMB!
    - Bourbon-Barrel Aged BOMB!

    The taste differences were SO ABSOLUTELY subtle that the price they are charging for these brews is getting ridiculous.

    Want that to change BA Nation??? Stop buying this nonsense and make their BOMB! beers shelf-turds.

    I just have this fear that I'll be missing out. I'd pick up another BA Bomb and give it another go, but not sure I'd drop any more cash on it. Still would like to try the Pirate variety though....

    The two bottle shops I go to around here both have huge sections of Bomb and Christmas Bomb. I don't think any has moved at one of the shops except the ones I've picked up for trades.... Now if we could get some other Prairie varieties.... namely Okie.

    Agreed! Just tried a bottle for the very first time and I loved it. Glad I bought a 4 pack when I could!
