    If I was listing non-BA'd versions, there are much better growler only coffee stouts/porters out there. Here are a couple really quick ones...Dusk 'Til Dawn (I don't think anything else comes close) and Bacon N Eggs.

    ...and then out of bottles you have regular Kopi Speedway which might be even better than the BA'd version.

    Gotta show some love for Cafe Royal, that is some tasty stuff. It can hold it's own with the big boys.

    Is that BA'd? Just wondering.

    I remember liking that one. I will have to revisit it. Any batch that happens to be considered the best or better than others?

    Peruvian Morning has been infected more often than not.

    I will also have to throw out Tovarish myself. I don't recall if that is BA'd, however.

    Personally I don't care. Will still buy it and drink it fresh because it's great. Probably won't by 4-4packs again though.

    Not sure about which batch is better, but every bottle I've had has been excellent. Sitting on a couple of the first batch, which will be two years old in September.

    My experience exactly.
    May not actually be true, but after 16 bottles, fuck that shit.
    Will never buy again.

    My wife and I had a BCBCS followed by an 8-Wired Batch 31, and we both preferred the Batch 31.
    I know.
    Blasphemy.

    Not really. I actually like to age BCBCS for a year to let the coffee mellow. Fresh, it just seems too sweet to me.
