Beer Release (Short's Brew): Goodnight Bodacious

Badass homer!

 

Grabbed some in Holland yesterday. Can't wait to try it tonight

 

Kings cove?

 

thicker then empress c and ba mayan . Loved both btw.. anyways, excellent @ 9%. bludgeon and this are by far the best dark ipa's

 

Grabbed some more yesterday.. last six pack at
my usual place..

 

*waiting patiently in Kzoo*

 

It seems more and more like Friday is generally Short's Day in Kzoo.

 

careful with this one.. had three on sunday night and a jai alai.. needed some aspirin the next day :|

 

this one is dangerous. one of my favorite black ipa's. i've got it coming on tap again, i am pumped!

 

Curious to how it stacks against Arcadia's B-Craft Black, the only double black I've had.

 

although I did like Bcraft, and im usually not a fan of arcadia, I think goodnight blows Bcraft out of the water, you are probably gonna love it!

 

Shorts - I love you guys and hype you up every chance I get. This was my fav brew from last year you brewed. With that said, this is good but not as great as last year.

 

I really hope your wrong about this

 

Maybe the bitterness needs to die down for a bit, but I'm just not diggin it as much as last year. Still a damn tasty brew and much much better the B. Craft from Arcadia.

 

Picked up mine today at Smitty's. This weather is great stay at home and drink delicious beer weather. Might have to toss a couple back. Will report back later with my findings!

 

Let it warm..

 

Picked some up today, very well balanced, awesome finish.

 

SUCCESS!! Got some this year.

I like the comparison above to Arcadia's B-Craft. They are somewhat similar in flavor (besides being the same style), but Bodacious has a little more roastiness, and I like that. The Bodacious hops are more prominent than those in B-Craft, and the hop varieties that are used in Bodacious have a flavor combination that I enjoy more. Bodacious seems to have a creamy mouthfeel too, like it's on nitro.

Pete811 above recommended above that the beer be allowed to warm up, and I agree that the flavor changes immensely. There are two very different beers here with the two different temps, but both are excellent.
