    The coffee has been consistently great. Love the "regular" and the Bramble is good. Also love the BBBBW!!! As for Prop, never had it although I really wanted to. I guess I didn't want it bad enough cuz I wasn't willing to trade my firstborn for it. :grimacing:

    I've only had backyard, coffee, prop, barleywine, and regular. I'd rank them in that order.

    I had a bcbcs recently and it knocked me away! One of the best BEERS Ive had, let alone my favorite Bourbon County.

    Only had the Regular and the Barley wine. I don't see how beer can get better than these two.

    I'm guessing most folks are biased by the last one they sipped! :-)

    The first Backyard I tried was striking given how robust the berries where... and how well blended it is. That anyone gives a crap... but my ranking is Vanilla, Coffee, Backyard, Prop, Barleywine, BCBS, Cherry. In fact, actually didn't really care for Cherry... and just traded my last for Mocha Wed. But, Coffee was amazing! Perfect balance of rich coffee and great complexity. But that Vanilla. Still go to sleep dreaming about those two bombers we scored!

    Think I've finally scored a Rare... so who knows how this ranking will change!

    Cheers!

    Coffee (any year). Backyard '13 (better than the overhyped--but still amazing--Proprietor's). The Cherry Rye that I have in the cellar.

    Out of the three I've tried - regular BCBS, BCBCS, and BCBBW - I think the BW is my favorite with regular stout and coffee tied for the number 2 slot. I've got Backyard in the "cellar" now though waiting for the right occasion.

    There's really no such thing as a bad Bourbon County, but last year's coffee was absolutely incredible.

    I wouldn't mind being like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day if I was stuck in last year's Bourbon County release date.

    2013 coffee by a mile ( haven't had vanilla but I don't think that would change my mind)
