    Just stopped by tap room and had.

    I would strongly suggest to anyone that loves this type of brew to get to the brewery asap and try before it's gone. They said they have a very limited amount.

    It's seriously damn good. Thankful I saw the post.

    I'll post review later. Now I have to drive through this snowy crap to Mankato. Damn.

    Anyone else get a chance to try?

    They made at least a barrel worth, so I can't imaging they will sell through 30 gallons on a day like today.

    Also, I'm not sure it is their Foundation Stout. They had a different RIS months ago. I would assume this is the BA RIS, not necessarily BA Foundation.
    Not sure if that is the case though.

    Yeah....might be my bad. It's definitely their RIS out of a barrel.

    Sounds amazing. Too bad the next time I'm going through the cities, and by there is on Easter.

    If you like mediocre RIS with no barrel presence you will love this!

    It's their special brewer's batch "RIS" which they put in a barrel from Panther Distillery. The base was very hoppy with some chocolate undertones. The BA version is very bitter with a little more chocolate and little to no discernible barrel character.

    They barrel aged it for 3 months, it needed another 3 at least.

    I live so close I could ride my bicycle to Badger Hill and was really excited when they set up shop down this way, but I rarely go. Everything about the place is unremarkable. There's really nothing that wrong with the brewery, there's just also really nothing that right. Also, something about a fridge full of pre-filled growlers that don't get replenished when they are out is just annoyong to me. I had high hopes for the place, and still hope they do great things, they just don't seem to be working hard enough for the business right now.
