    Don't know who this mike zombie character is, but I will bring the Riserva plus another sour.

    I meant before 11pm, because they start to shut down for the night.

    I bet its gone in 2 min. Gimmick beers have an odd curiosity factor. Plus I don't want a pink bottle in my closet, it looks weird.

    A big tasting like this is the perfect place to off a bottle of that shizzzzz.

    I will save some for those who haven't tried it yet(not just because I have had it and never, ever want to drink it again!)

    I think I'm going to drive in from Fort Worth that AM...and I'm getting that at 5am in spite of everyone else and I'm bringing 60 sherpa's :wink:

    While the first part is true (driving down that am) the rest is bullshit...I mean in the best case I could only scrounge up like 10 Sherpas on this short notice. What I lack in pre party brews I hope to make up for in kolaches from West.

    Is it that bad, never had it, maybe I should trade it out with 09 Bourbon County bomber. I mean I like bacon and I like doughnuts.

    I don't think it's that bad so long as it's not too cold when you drink it. The smoke character is nice. The maple and bacon are there and it's kinda weird, but not necessarily off-putting imo. Would I pay $13 for it again? Hell no. Would I pay $6-$8 for it? Quite possibly.

    I say bring it, if nothing else, its a great conversation starter. I didn't think it was that bad, and its a must for tickers to tick....I'm just not a fan of bacon grease. I like my bacon crunchy.

    It seems to be pretty hit or miss depending on the person. I've heard some call it the worst beer ever and others have absolutely loved it. A couple people each brought one to a bottle share I went to a while back and there was a group of guys that flocked to it each time one was opened. I think its OK in small doses, but I wouldn't want much more than a few ounces.

    A 3 ounce pour was enough for me but my wife loved. She killed the bomber to avoid a drain pour. I wasn't impressed but the aroma was beautiful.
