    Insert any beer name into this, and this is 95% of beer geeks on BA every year. It's fine, taste great as it always does!

    It should be mellowing out slightly by this point interms of coffee bitterness.

    I drank one this week. I took a few sips out of the refrigerator but I let it warm up a bit. I pretty much enjoyed it through a two hour film. In the middle/end of it I felt it was very chocolate forward. I can't wait to get more.

    Slightly unrelated topic.... Who's the dunderhead who rated it so low it threw the perfect 100/100 to a 99/100? Now I have to go make a new sign to put in front of my beer case (And here I thought I could use the one from last year... lol) kinda funny the rating went down when the majority have been saying this year's batch was better than last...:rolling_eyes:

    I thought 2015 was the best yet, creamier and just perfected

    Anyone have a beer that's similar the breakfast stout but not $70 a case?

    Enjoy

    I thought it was great this year, as well. I don't have the palate memory to remember if it was as good or worse than last year, but I enjoyed it tremendously so why worry about comparisons?

    Really??
    Okay, I'll bite. You're saying you'll never buy or try again? Well. God Bless You!

    It's actually right around the same price, but Big Ricc from Tallgrass IMO is better. I am a fan of FBS, but I drank a Big Ricc and an FBS side by side the other night and thought it edged it out.

    It's funny you posted about this. My 4th bottle tasted really off. The first three were great. I had each one on different days so it was really odd. I've had a few friends have mixed reviews too. Some great and some bad batches.

    I'm amazed how much of the 14 is still available. My favorite bottle shops all have lots left.

    My package arrived today so I was able to crack one open...first time ever trying it, so I have no frame of reference here, but it is a damn good beer...if this is the beer not being as good as before, then wow, because this is delicious!

    I'd say the opposite. I had a 2015 bottle a couple days ago and it was fantastic. Even better than I remembered, actually.

    probably out until the next CA fulfillment, but K&L's Los Angeles location, that's where you'll find it. :wink:
