  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Ok I just wanted to ask anyone who has tasted the BS from this year.

I have had so e 4 packs from the last shipments and not bought a case of the new shipment.
Last year I got a full oatmeal coffee flavor this year I do not, I just wanted to ask. Is it me or does anyone else see a difference from this year to last year?

My taste buds might be off but just wanted to see what others have tasted?

Thanks


John

Didn't care for this year's at all. There's a thread on BA about it being thin and artificial, and I wholly concur with that assessment.

I thought it was different than previous years but I still enjoyed it.

Last year I worked through 2+ cases (it was killer). This year I have only had one 4 pack. It tastes more sweet and just watered down to me. I miss the strong coffee flavor in last years release.

To me it is still a great beer and will still drink more just not as much.

I totally agree with this. I thought that the coffee had the same artificial taste like the coffee flavor in Frangelic Mountain Brown (minus the crappy artificial hazelnut).

I seriously hope this won't be the case for KBS on next release.

Damn, the one year I buy a 4 pack to try and they are apparently duds. Oh well, I look forward to them nonetheless.

I am relived and sadden, I know my taste buds are a little off but I knew something was a little different this year. I still have a case to go thru, it just won't be enjoyed as much.
