    I purchased both yesterday, but Sir Blends-A-Lot is the one I'm definitely more interested in. Being well known for making highly adjunct/additive stouts, it's an interesting choice: no-additives barrel aged imperial stout blended from different barrels. Could be a flop, but I'm optimistic.

    The fifth year anniversary beer was very good, so this one probably will be as well.

    Drop the Needle is really good. Tons of barrel (for those who think Mikerphone doesn’t have enough). The rye is certainly rose to and it helps with he vanilla sweetness. If you were worried it would be too sweet, no worries. Too boozy is the only concern at 16%

    Sir Blends A Lot takes FoBAB gold for best non-adjunct BA stout, beating out Mehndi 2020.

    Pretty good for a spot best known for adjuncted beer.

    Good job to the Mikerphone team! We give you a lot of grief, but we support and appreciate you. Excited to pop these bottles soon.

    If you ask me, Mike's non-adjunct ba stouts have all been great. Starting with BA A Surprise Left

    Were testers given covid tests? Loss of good taste is a symptom.

    BA Surprise Left is the only one I have tried, and it was pretty great. Mike didn't forget how to brew good beer, he just likes to throw a lot of stuff in it. Probably because that's what sells, and also it seems like he enjoys pushing the envelope a little bit.

    Just opened a Self-Titled and drank 5 ounces and drain-poured the rest. Sometimes it’s gold, sometimes it’s the sink

    Yeah, it went live the exact same time Wal-Mart's PS5 drop went live. By the time I had struck out on the PS5, the stout was sold out.

    Looks like Heaven Hill barrels this time as opposed to the Buffalo Trace Rye Whiskey barrels from 2018
