Is "The Muddy" the base stout for BCBS?

Bless you for the hard work of digging through all that. Indeed, this was the article that proved me wrong on the Nightstalker myth.

@fx20736 - the link takes you to all the info you need in your original question.

 

This also supports what Vav said, that the beer was pretty mediocre, and exists only to be barrel-aged. I like to think you can almost taste that; it's very hard to pin point what's going on with the base beer, and I feel like a lot of the little elements in BCBS aren't particularly tasty were they to be taken alone, but together they make this cacophony of flavor that's just fantastic.
