BA Bomb is pretty much everything I wanted it to be! Very tasty..
I liked it a lot! Seems a bit hard to grab in the Bay Area, though — gets snatched up almost immediately. (I don't need more than one for the price, fortunately.)

While on topic, here's a question: why does Bourbon County taste so different from practically every other BA beer out there? I've had KBS, BA Bomb!, Apple Brandy Noir, Backwoods Bastard, BA Coffee & Cigarettes, and BA Bigfoot, and all of them taste like the base beer but with a bit of bourbon/whisky mixed in. (Or in the case of Bigfoot... whisky with a hint of beer at the end. :confused:) Only BCBS + variants and Derivation have had that syrupy, spicy, brownie-like flavor and chewiness that everybody raves about. In fact, before trying BCBS for the first time, I assumed that BA beers weren't really for me.

Does it depend on the gravity of the base beer? Length of aging? ABV? More importantly: are there any shelf beers that have this property?

I spilled some gueuze on my slacks today. Now I have to go get them drie-cleaned.






Should've posted in awful puns thread.
This was great and don't believe everyone else when they roll their eyes at you. Solidarity amongst bad pun fans!

Edit:I, like a sucker, responded before seeing the ensuing train of awesomely bad goozie puns. YES!

I know this is just a one sentence post on an internet beer forum, but please accept it as a Tilquin of my appreciation for your support.
 
This thread has hit its all time high/low trying to work out which it is.
