    The only reason they missed out is because they came late. After everyone at the bar (and the waitstaff and their tables) it stopped being poured. I saw 4-5 minutes where people could have ordered a second pour (which a few people did). I saw/heard people walking in at 5pm and asking for CBS...hopefully they weren't surprised (butthurt) it already kicked.

    Just showing that there was at least 10oz....looked/felt closer to 12oz. Proper pour for the price.

    I assumed he was asking your take on how good it was..,

    They tapped it on MLK day. No announcement. It lasted all day and kicked the next day I believe.

    Bangers & Lace CBS tapping was a few weeks back on a Saturday... the 17th? 24th? Something like that.

    Oops I should have posted more than a one word response, haha.
    Yeah what did you think of it? I let mine get pretty close to room temp before getting into it. Loved the maple syrup finish.

    Absolutely loved it. I actually got 2 (closer to 1 1/2) pours and the 2nd I let sit for an hour or so. Definitely got better as it warmed, the maple smoothed out the coffee and bourbon so nicely! The only other time I tried it was last year and it was a total anise bomb, I still question the contents of that bottle. I am now content after tasting it last night!!!

    The bank account took quite a beating this week. Seems like the beer gods dropped a ton of bombs on us all at once.

    Flo and Santos in the south loop is tapping @7pm tonight. Not that it will help anyone get there in time because tickets were sold @5pm (unless they are still available?) but you can add it to your list.

    In Ann Arbor, Ashley's and HopCat will be going head-to-head and offering both CBS and KBS on Saturday the 14th. Leave your valentine at home.

    Hopcat is going to be a madhouse as it is their grand opening. Ashley's is small and they're doing a BBA beer fest that day ... you'll be able to get KBS, CBS, Black Note, BCBS, and about 20 other BBA beers. They also haven't announced what time CBS and KBS are going on as far as I know.

    So both may be jam-packed.
