I expected worse to be honest. I've read some bad review about the beer but I actually enjoyed it. It did have some vegetal/greeness to it, but I liked it. Complex beer overall and I would buy again for sure.

Like cigars, if you keep trying different craft beers you will find some you do enjoy.

Some good advice. We have Boulevard here in Kansas City and I am sure I can find some others to experiment with.

I felt the same way until I had it fresh on draft. It may still not be a Top 5 overall but for those two pints it was.

Last night I had Southern Tier Jah'va

Yeah there is a good amount of pine aromas in that beer. I enjoy it though. Someone was telling me they may be bringing back their Nut Brown ale and maybe their Oatmeal Stout. I loved both those beers.

I love the GI bourbon stouts, Nightstalker, Honkers, Summer, Matilda, etc, etc, but hate pine flavor in beer....just like that Fat Tire crapola. :r

I'm not a fan of Fat Tire crapola either:r Also, with the 312 production moving somewhere in NY, maybe our home state will see more Bourbon County Stout and new bottles.
