    Had a 2011 the other night while grilling burgers. Pretty tasty.

    It cellars great for two years, haven't had it past that.

    If anyone in the Madison/LAX area has a 2010 BBS that they would be willing to trade let me know. Cheers

    Never will understand the weird obsession with labels.

    I don't drink the labels.

    And if the labels on really good beers like this suck, great, maybe more people won't buy them...

    I bought a four pack last night. Drank two already. Trying to tell myself I will age them but I'm not sure if I can do it.

    CW BBS = Great Beer. But I'm curious about the Barleywine.

    It's nice that CW expanded their barrel aging capacity, the manager at a local liquor store was telling me that this year he expects to have inventory until March.

    Why age something so good fresh? If you must, get another four pack and tuck it away. Drink up!

    To each their own. I think the label is pretty good. Hopefully I'll be seeing it in person soon.

    It's on shelves now.
    Not the BA version though.

    There was a price increase this year. Part of the reason is that they increased the barrel aging from 6 months to a full year.

    Nothing can be as bad as the last label, but yeah, still pretty bad.

    I dunno, I liked the last label. Nothing fancy or even great, but not even close to Weyerbacher levels.
