    Oh but a buddy of mine had it & said:
    Very tasty! Strong wood, subtle bourbon. Coffee smacks you in the face & subtle vanilla notes throughout

    I more or less agree with this review. I also had it on tap and it was probably a little too cold to taste everything. That said it was very "smooth", not a lot of barrel or burn. What there was a lot of was coffee. So much coffee. I enjoyed it.

    So, drink now unless you like less coffee.

    Look to the cookie was fantastic, the chocolate and vanilla really came through at 55 degrees. I though ba penultimate was mediocre... a lot of very bitter coffee made it almost tart tasting to me... and that was the one I was most excited for.

    Did anyone try last weeks Growler Tuesday... Vendimia De Marzo. Had it Friday. Was damn good.
    Was a blend of Abs OK, a CCB Base BA Stout (did not know they had that) and an unreleased ECC Smoked Stout.
    Tasted phenomenal, I got little to no smoke lots of barrel. Crowler was a little steep $29.00 (but I had to grab 2)

    This is not an El cat beer, it's most likely the beer being brewed for municipal waste. If you look at the growler description it doesn't refer to the smoked porter as being BA. Also the ba belgium strong ale in that growler is not absolutely ok, it's the ba strong ale that was on for growlers the week before. Same style different beer.

    Not saying the growler wasn't good, it also had Brandy Bolita in it. Just saying it's not all attached to El Cat

    No worries.. Really just making a joke while spewing my own preferences toward future El Cat beers...

    I was just posting what Ben in the tap room told me about the beer. But I am sure you know more than him.

    Could it be that they are waiting to see if that peanut flavor shows up in bottles? :wink:
