    I added some vanilla that my wife was using to make x-mas cookies over the holidays to a reg BCBS and it was tasty!

    Raspberry Truffle Abduction is relatively similar, although perhaps on the sweeter, more fruit forward side.

    Good calls on the abduction and Lindley park here but IMHO they're just not as good. I thought backyard was very good, better than bramble, but still preferred coffee and at this point, the original has settled in as my personal fave. Abduction and LP lack the sheer richness and heft of backyard.

    Raspberry Truffle Abduction also lacks the whiskey and oak character of anything BCBS. Though I do think it was delicious, very interested in trying the orange (and possibly the cherry).

    You are not alone. I kind of regret the fact that I still have a couple bottles left, I am counting on it improving with time. Not to say that it was bad, just didn't do much for me (especially when compared to the others).

    Was such an amazing beer, paired it with some duck on Christmas and was speechless with the pairing

    I have a few bottles of Backyard, I found it a bit too fruit forward so am aging the rest. I love love Cherry Rye, it's my favorite beer. anyone who has the opposite feelings lemme know :wink:

    I actually found the coffee too much of a coffee bomb this year when it was just released. I like it much better now.
