    thinking about heading out to Hudson for a bottle of this; anyone tried it? Worth $19?

    I loved this beer and think it's probably worth it if you haven't tried it.

    Yeah, I think it's worth it. Esp if you've never tried it.

    I should mention I could pick up a bottle for someone, if anyone out there is a big fan.

    I have a bottle in the basement I really want to drink but I've been advised to age it. Thoughts?

    Personal preference ... I like bourbon beers fresh generally, but a lot of people like them with age.

    I do too. Say, KBS I love fresh and 2011 BCBS was great. Past years of BCBS I love with age. Most were too hot at the time of release.

    I stopped at 'Nova today about 1:00 and there were still several bottles of BA Boris, but I suppose they could have gone later in the day. BA Naked Evil was indeed gone.

    Definitely NOT sold out of BA BORIS at Casanovas.
    Definitely sold out of BA Naked Evil. That went quick.

    I saw a post here once that I thought was wise: don't age it if you've never had it fresh.
    That said, I haven't always been able to make myself follow that wisdom.
