    Anyone know when Central Waters is releasing their Kosmyk Charlie barleywine this year? The last few years it has come out at the same time as the Bourbon Barrel Stout but apparently that is not the case this year since the stout has been out for over a week.

    Is this the base beer for their BB Barleywine? I assume it is, because it seems obvious, but Kosmyk Charlie seems super intense to me whereas BBBW seems so much milder. I could be way off in my assessment, as here in Chicago the KC is pretty tough to get ahold of, whereas the BBBW is quite plentiful so I usually get to drink a lot more of the latter. Regardless, both are fantastic.

    It is the base beer and I agree with you. Y2K is hoppy and intense where as BBBW is very mellow. I much prefer Y2K.

    If they are barrel aging, it would probably account for the lack of hops and smoother taste.

    I bought a bomber of this and a 4 pk of BBBW at Groppi yesterday. Silly bombers. Forced me to drink 22 oz of delicious beer.

    Must have been one of the first places to put it out, as I had to create both vintages on Untappd since no one else had drank either of them yet on Untappd.
