Took 27 years to make. using 25 year old bourbon barrels then the stout aging 2 years in the barrels.
I love stouts, BA stouts, they are so expensive but I drink them all the time but I just dont like the base taste of BCBS. it has like a raisin taste to it. I thought with all the aging the boozy flavor might mask it but no, I found very little flavor coming from 2 years sitting in a barrel.
Odd and disappointing stout. probably the last time I do a BCBS anything.

Nostalgia for older maryland beer heads -- just saw Wild Goose Winter Ale back on shelves .. taking me back to my teenage years. if only Petes Wicked came back and did their winter ale.
