I would like to give my girlfriend a bottle of BCBS or variant for her graduation. I think she would prefer something on the sweet side. Thanks
Is she really really into fruit? Or cough syrup? Like, more than anything else in the world? If she isn't, I wouldn't choose that. I thought it was the weakest BCBS variant and I find all of them to be sweet so I don't think that that is really an issue here. If you can swing it Rare would be a very nice gift, but a four pack of this year's release would also be appreciated by anyone who likes both beer and sweets I think. And, while not a BCBS variant, King Henry duh.
My gf LOVES Bramble, along with all other variants, but Bramble is her favorite. I just traded a couple away to a BA in Michigan who said his girlfriend was in love with it also.
Another vote for the vanilla being the sweetest. The standard beer is sweet to begin with, but with the vanilla addition its just so much more so. Bramble was like bourbon soaked raspberry jam. Certainly sweet, but the standard BCBS notes seemed to be hidden a bit.
Bramble is my favorite, by far. Everything that makes BCBS BCBS is there, with berries. I don't get the "cough syrup" rip at all, unless your cough syrup tastes like the best beer I've ever had.
Coffee is great but only fresh. The only acceptable answer here is Rare. Vanilla is a sweet mess unless you're smoking a cigar with it. So I guess it's what you want...? Wat. Bramble is just ruining a good beer.
I have a strong feeling Bramble is only going to get much better over time, and become one of the most sought after variants. If everything blends together in perfect harmony that beers gonna be phenominal!
i think emdawg nailed it with the king henry. tha guy was almost too sweet for me. the malty barelywine definitly steps up the sweet as well
