New in Kentucky

Yeah, I saw that too. Weird! Either way, this is probably my most sought after Country Boy beer. It sounds amazing. About to sip on one of the Snakes in a Barrel tonight. My brother and I are going to share a bottle.

 

So after having this beer, it's very good but the draft version I think is a step above. This has a lot of the characteristics I liked in my review on BA, but it's a little more muted. They are there though. I can taste that bourbon flavor and those roasted malts, but they aren't as prevalent as I remember. Still a very good beer and one I am so happy to have two bottles of!

 

I wish I could grab one but I am saving some money for some other beers! Rather spend that money on a six pack of Galaxy high from madtree instead of one bottle. Is it worth the price?

 

Do we know if they are going to have a limit per person and the price yet? Excited to try this beer!

 

Not really, I am the same way. I grabbed a glass of it before I bought Sinkhole and wanted a bottle to age. The barrel aging program is hard work. I think they need a better area to stash the barrels though. The Nates Coffee in Rum Barrels was very good though so I know it isn't necessarily Country Boy's method more like a bad batch gone wrong. We will see though, I am very anxious to try it just to see how it turns out.

 

Surprised they bottled it already. Wonder if the freshness will last a couple weeks till the bottle release. Curious to know the hop schedule for this beer and what hops they did use. I am not looking for a hazy brew but one that had that in your face hop character I enjoy more for a big alcohol DIPA!

 

Well atleast we know that Country Boy has made good batches of Sinkhole before so it isn't that the recipe is terrible. I am an optimist and think it was more of a barrel issue than anything. We shall see though. Atleast we know that the bottles won't go fast. Anyone else excited for Lexington Beer week just to see what the other breweries not named Country Boy and West Sixth can bottle? One step closer to having more quality brews coming out of the city.

BTW, has anyone seen the Citra Ass Down cans around? Want to pick one up soon.

 

Yeah, I was a little worried they hadn't hit lexington yet. I hope to pick some up at some point just to try the new recipe!
