is it just me or is this literally identical to last years Big John....
I can taste the lineage between the two and even reach for a big john to sub for bcbs but big john is like the younger sibling leans more towards chocolate and not as complex. Let me know what you think of one with a year or so on it.

I can relate to that; I had the 2011 Big John in May (obviously different because of the chocolate used in brewing) but the 2013 BCB I had last night was so similar, I would love to try them side-by-side. I have a 2012 BCB that ill crack soon to compare to this year... freaking beer... I don't even like it but there are so many good ones out there!

Said "fuck it" at lunch; anything going for 250$ on Craigslist must be good.

Killin me lol how is it dare I ask
You better believe that I was pushing hard for them too let me take a bottle home for you brother! (they wouldn't let a bottle leave that wasn't empty)

Was it good? Yes.
Was it awe-inspiring? No.
Was it a top 2 from GI? Yes.
IMO The Cherry Rye from last year was better; but it was a close second.

The minute I have a bottle; you will have it brother; then we can compare tasting profiles.
