Bourbon County 2018

i wanted the barley and wheatwine and grabbed the prop cause ive never seen one in the wild and i think itd make a cool christmas gift. i suppose it beats standing in line in the long run. $10 here and there i spend without thinking but i bring up my awful binnys experience any chance i get so

 

Thanks, I appreciate the info.

 

Thanks. Had to look up what Reddit was. So forums on a website are now being used as adjectives. I realize now that I don't understand the internet anymore.

 

Drinking vanilla 18 on draft now, had it in the bottle last night. Bottle>draft and its not even close. Draft is overwhelming vanilla, draft is a bit more subtle.

 

???

 

Haha bottle is a bit subtle. That triple barrel is a bit strong

 

Is that going to hit distro?

 

Went to Goose Clybourne at 7:30 last night, sat down at the bar no wait. Had Wheatwine, Bramble, and Vanilla. Surprised the place was not full.

 

It seems to be around. I think you’ll find it pretty quickly/easily at your binnys/jewel

Anyone happen to see bramble still floating around the city still? Trying to grab one if possible.

 

What temp are these best served at for ideal flavor...room temp, slightly refrigerated, or refrigerated? This is my first year partaking and want them ideal. lol. I snagged regular, 2017, Orange, Wheatwine, and Bramble in Michigan.

Of course, the one I was most interested in trying was Vanilla, and that's the one that kept selling out five people before I reached the front of the line and never could get one. I'm so bummed I just struck out everywhere I went, but am excited to try all the ones I did get. Thank you!

 

I went to the standard market tapping and got to taste midnight, bramble, wheatwine and regular. The vanilla and reserve kicked so I didn't get a chance to try them, from what I did try though midnight was my favorite, I'd say regular is second, bramble 3rd and wheatwine was last.

None of them were bad though, I really enjoyed all 4, wheatwine is different but I kinda dig it. Bramble was a little sweet for my liking but not bad, the regular is a little thinner maybe than years prior? Midnight orange is a chocolate orange and I fucking love it.

 

Yes, Fulton & Wood. 6oz for $8. All variants on except for Prop, I believe.

 

I did, thanks! Too much wine and pie before posting.

 

I enjoy all my big beers like this at room temp or pulled out of the fridge and let warm for 30 or so minutes before I pour. But I'm sure most people don't enjoy them this warm. Comes down to preference.

 

55 ish i guess? i typically put them in the fridge the day before i plan to open them and take em out about 20 minutes before. itll warm from the pour initially and continue to change in the glass as it comes to room temp. otherwise whatever floats your boots

 

Where’s the guy who said Prop was being released in DC? I wanna see proof!!

 

After spending the last two months only drinking BCS as cold 2-5oz pours I’ve spent the last 2.5 hours drinking a bottle of regular. It is not as good as last year but it is definitely much better than I was giving it credit for.

Cold I get chocolate covered fig and tons of pipe tobacco. After about an hour the burnt sugars start to come out and at 2 hours a cinnamon spice starts to develop. Once again a beer worth waiting in line for.



Or going to Jewel at 3pm and buying bottles of.

 

It’s funny how variants kill regular versions. Benthic was traded as fairly special until this year when there were 2 variants. Imperial Smells Like Bean Spirit was special until there was a variation. If most breweries put out a BA stout, it is sought after. But not Bourbon County because twists are put on it
