BA Monster 29. Poured flat like burn Quaker State motor oil. Smelled of bourbon booze, raisins, dates, prunes, and almost every dark fruit you could imagine smothered in dark chocolate.
Base Monster 29 was just as good. I almost enjoyed it more. Free from the barrel the base beer produces that big strong dark fruit presence but with a light char and smoke. Very chewy, light carbonation, and amazingly solid 360.
This was my last ones unfortunately. I feel these beers were highly underrated and overlooked then and now. Sadly, not many of these probably still exist. If they do, me want.
