Bc varients

The wonderful part of Beer Advocate is the reviews. Search these beers and read recent reviews and you should get a good idea of how they are aging!

 

I don't really do reviews on here, but I had a bramble a couple months back and it was PHENOMENAL! Berry still very intense with the expected bc stout backbone. Definitely one of the best beers I've ever had. I have a cherry that will be consumed soon as well....

 

at this point on some of the bottles, especially Rare, 2010 VAnilla, and Bramble, how the beer was stored, and how many times it has been traded will have a lot to do with how it is holding up...i would be very confident you could get two different bottles...one be outstanding, while the other is faded.

 

I popped a OG Vanilla last weekend and it was pretty awesome. Still a good amount of vanilla on the nose/mouthfeel and I prefer it still to VR.

 

Had a Cherry and Bramble some months ago, the Bramble was amazing, still had a great fruit flavor. The Cherry, however, was faded for most of the cherry part. I will try another bottle this Saturday, hopefully that one will contain more cherry flavor

 

Any opinions on Backyard?

 

Cracked one open three weeks ago. I think it's the most aggressive variant I've ever had. So I would say now is the time to drink it.

 

perfect. Will be opening soon.
