KBS CHICAGOLAND, YEP.

BM me if you need a BCBS.... I b flush.

 

That's cool. Again, to each his own. Did you guys sip out of bottles or tap? I didn't have any tap.

 

Yeah, I wasn't slamming your palate by any means. My reference was showing that since all of us are obviously relatively new to big bourbon barrel beers, we're probably going to taste that more than someone who's had it a couple years in a row. We all had 3 a piece from the tap. I haven't opened up any of my bottles yet, so I don't have a comparison point there. I will say this tastes less boozy than Brooklyn Black Ops, which was very boozy to me. I'm going to do a side-by-side with BCBS and KBS one night so I can compare them.

Cool screen name by the way. Enjoy the band, love that album.

 

Also, thanks to the OP for the DG Binny's heads-up. I'll be swinging by there today since it's about 10 minutes away from where I live.

 

No offense taken. And thanks for the compliment; yeah, good band, great album. Coulda done without Light Grenades...

 

they have it listed for $7.99 on beermenus!

 

Of course they do. And Capone's probably says they still have Rare on the shelves...

 

Was your PT5th really yeasty? Maybe i just got the bottom of the barrel, but there was a good 1/8th of an inch of solid yeast cake on the bottom of all 4 bottles that I got.

 

$8 is still too much

 

I gotta give it another try, then. Yours sound awesome. Mine were pretty un-awesome.

 

Seemed to taste the best at around 50-55 degrees or so.

 

Think that's called a coping mechanism...any psych majors want to back me up on this? I still love it but at the prices i'm seeing, i might pass this year. $25 a 4-pk is just too much cheese for me.

But I do love me some KBS, i might take my chances in the ISO:FT forums once the hype of people trying to get a Chocolate Rain with a 4-pk dies down.

 

An inch sounds pretty crazy! You must have lost a good 1-2 oz of beer there. But, in all seriousness I have found most Dark Horse beers, especially the stout series to have a nice thick, sludgy, yeast cake on the bottom. You can be careful not to pour it into your glass or take it like a shot and enjoy the B vitamins like I do .

Edit: I now see you said 1/8 of an inch... totally normal. I can read. I can!

 

1/8 of an inch. But yeah, I am starting to notice that as the trend from Dark Horse...

 

The truck is running late and we are yet to recieve any. I'll keep ya posted via twitter @dgcraftbeers

 

increased popularity = increased production = lower ratings. BA econ 101 (i think that would be econ, right?)

 

Would you blink at paying $12 for a bomber of KBS? I know I wouldn't, lol.

 

True, never really thought of it in those terms. I do wish they made bombers of KBS, those would be SWEET!
