Straight up butterscotch, vanilla, caramel and bourbon with zero infection.
 
And at first I thought mine tasted slightly off, but it was in my head. It certainly wasn't a definitive taste difference for me.

Same happened for me a few nights ago. It was fine, but similar to opening fresh 2014 when I was used to '13, it wasn't fully what I'm used to for BCBS, but by the end of the bottle I wasn't complaining. None ended up in the drain...
 
Put a 10/16/15 bottle in the fridge, will report back later for science.

I thought this years Huna tasted a little tart and slightly metallic. ******* Florida.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but the one bottle I opened so far had a distinct hit of acetaldehyde (green apple) off-flavor. Hoping it's just young and that will fade with some time. It did get better as it sat out and warmed up.

I was only partially joking. It was the last bottle we opened that night and we opened it side by side (for some stupid reason) with one of the BA Xocoveza variants so there's a strong chance my palate was wrecked by then.

However I do recall a strange tart almost lactic taste to it. Not at all what I remember Huna being from years past.
 
I haven't seen anyone post about any off bottles that weren't October 21, and even some of of those bottle dates seem to be fine. So at least it's a very isolated issue for regular bcbs.
 
as if the prices weren't terrible enough with the new bottles last year everything is mediocre as **** besides the regular bcbs. now all the other **** is infected. seriously if that wasn't the nail in the coffin for anyone i feel bad for you. 2014 was the last great year for bcbs. so glad i skipped black friday last year.

spark a candle for bcbs. RIP 2003-2014. Never Forget.
