    I know, I know...but we do have extra bottles of each. Ahhh, the things we do for beer...

    I'd say it depends on the vintage. I'm not impressed at all by 2012 but 2011 was ridiculous. 2010 was good but to me '09 now, is phenomenal.

    God, it is so hard to understand the changing value of Batch 3 Beat over the past few years.

    For sure, instead of rating it to a 4.9 it's a paltry 4.8.

    The new batch of Beat hurt the value of previous batches...no doubt about it.

    You think so? B3 is still the only beat in 750mls.

    Aged 08 and 09 are almost as good as Rare IMO. I can't wait to try the 12's and 11's I have with more age. I used to hate BCBS when I had the 08's fresh, but after aging them, I am a believer.

    Yeah, Bourbon County used to be really harsh fresh. I'm glad Goose has altered the product to change that.

    Although I must say that BCBS 2011 fresh was still one of my favorite beers ever. The others...not so much.
