CW Bourbon Barrel Stout

Could be. They definitely did a markup here last year between the first and second wave of the BB Stout, and carried it through to the Peruvian Morning and Barleywine releases. And the Scotch Ale *might've* been $13.99 on second thought -- it was enough to make me pause and stick to two 4-packs.

 

I don't doubt it...everyone wants their cut. But hey, compare to bomber costs and its still a steal. Everyone has to justify prices to their likes so stand your ground. I'll still be filling a cart of CW BB beers and best of all, without a line or a fight. Hope you can still enjoy the brew-Cheers!

 

Heh -- I've still got a few packs of 2011 and nearly a case of 2012.

 

Awesome! I'm hoping I can find someone with a 2010 or 2 BB stout so I can put a vertical together. As of September, the '11 was tasting great so I'm curious.

 

Thats still a pretty darn good price though.

 

first wave of BBS got called back ~october. hope this one's the ticket

 

? Do you have info on that?

 

?? got called back? Usually comes out in mid-December every year...

 

Drinking one right now, just picked up a few 4 packs. It is actually a little hot, I might hold on to 3 of the 4 packs for around 6 months before trying it again, I have 4 4packs of the 12 still so that ought to hold me. Do not get me wrong it is still very, very good.

 

Tickets for the 16th anniversary party are still available

 

Give me Peruvian Morning any day over this beer. Too much booze and barrel influences for my tastes.

 

One mean Bourbon stout; awesome! Only $11.50 in La Crosse.

 

That is an awesome snifter.

 

Do you like your beer infected . Serious question though, what is the difference between cw fifteen and 16?

 

Different beer, in different barrels, for a different amount of time.

16 was aged 2 years in older barrels than 15 (i dont remember the vintage I think it was closer to 20 though, 1414/15 were 14 year)

 

This make it to IL yet?

 

How about the Illinois Quad Cities?

 

Any Milwaukee sightings yet?

 

I don't know about the rest of you, but I notice a distinct off flavor (dry? leathery?), on the finish especially, on this year's batch. I just had it on tap locally, and there's the same thing with the 4-pack that I've purchased. I know they aged it for less time in barrels this year, due to bourbon barrel scotch ale production, but I don't think that's the issue. And this is normally my favorite beer. I guess I'm just suggesting that you all try a bottle before you decide to buy a whole bunch.
