    Wow so cocao nibs and chocolate was the winning recipe for prop?! Did all the other riskier recipes just not work out? Or maybe simple but really well done.

    These are the best sounding bcbs variants in years.

    Seems like a high chance wheatwine replaced barleywine this year? With all of these leaking and no barleywine yet, seems like that may be the case...

    Given the lineup as is (if all of these see bottles, which i assume they will) it’s hard to complain about barleywine. But I’ll be sure to pour one out for barleywine on Black Friday.

    awesome lineup indeed, horchata and Neapolitan sound great, return of vanilla and Bramble rye, wished prop was something like peach cobbler! peaches, cinnamon, nutmeg or something

    Here come never ending years of hearing people comparing BC Neapolitan to More's Double Rainbow. Great....

    Excited about Bramble and Neapolitan. Hopeful about Horchata and Vanilla. Downright confused by the basic Prop recipe. I just wonder how different it would really be from regular BCBS

    Une Annee Grande Monde 2018-3 is an excellent peach cobbler beer. Granted it’s a sour and not a BA Stout. It was still at the brewery last time I was there. Give it a try if you haven’t already!

    Id be excited if michigan (outside of grand rapids) even got barleywine.

    This is nothing more than a cruel tease.

    So the real question is which of the (9?) BC set to release this year will see infection?

    There’s talk on a Facebook group that some of these were submitted as jokes (according to a poster who says he works for Goose). If that’s the case, that was a *terribly* stupid thing to do given their PR coming off LP last year

    Anyone else notice that not all of them have bottle labels?

    Horchata and Neapolitan, no thanks.

    The rest, yes please.

    Very interesting line up. I’m just hoping BCBCS goes back to to pre-‘15 quality. I wasn’t terribly impressed by ‘16 and I flat out disliked the ‘17 version. I much preferred the Cafe Deth to BCBCS for the ‘17 releases.

    Has no one noticed that bramble, vanilla, and horchata are all labels for kegs only?
