4)....
5)....
6)....
7) Bourbon County Brand Stout (post 2011)

BCBS has been on the decline since 2011, 2013 stopped the skid but is is still not close to 2010 or earlier. This is what happens when you sell out.

 

Blacknote, BCBCS, KBS BAPT5 and BCBS.

Also clicked on one of those links posted earlier and saw Nuthulu ranked pretty highly. Is this the Hazelnut Cthulhu that was at Stout Fest? If so i heard that was amazing. Hope to try it someday.

Didn't read the OP, but i assume these are the right answers.

 

Yes.

 

Goose Island Bourbon County Stout
Founders KBS
Bells Black Note
Dark Horse BBPT5

 

Black Note
BCBS
KBS
BBPT5

But I'll gladly drink any of them.

 

BCBS

I don't really care about the others if I have the first.

 

Based on my ratings (all done the first time I had each beer respectively):

Founders KBS
Bell's Black Note
Goose Island Bourbon County Stout
Dark Horse Barrel aged Plead the 5th


That being said, BCBS is definitely growing on me. I will agree with others though in that certain vintages of BCBS did seem harsh.

 

Heady Topper is #1

 

You can't deny BCBS is a bit boozy. It is, but that's what makes it great.

 

3, 2, 1, 4

Founders KBS,

 

No Abyss? No Parabola? No Black Ops?

What kind of shenanigans is this???

 

They are NOT in competition with one another. Drink them. They are all solid, and offer particular things to particular people with particular tastes.

 

1. BB Pt5th
2. KBS
3. BCBS

Someone send me Black Note so I can complete this ranking.

 

1) BB Pt5th
T2) Bourbon County/KBS
4) Black Note

It really doesn't matter though. They are all amazing, although for me BB Pt5th, stands above the rest by a nice little margin.
