Speaking of Goose Island, I saw a 4 pack of BC barleywine the other day at a corner spot. It was $39.99 and I couldn't pull the trigger.
The wife picked up a Spiteful Toffee Pigeon Porter the same day I grabbed the Boulevard Aztec. I took a couple sips and loved it. Definitely my favorite Pigeon Porter from Spiteful thus far.

It's 11%, so even if it doesn't get better with age, it shouldn't go bad.... the Great Divide stuff that I age for 8-12 months is only 9.5%, the other night opened a chocolate one from February and it was amazing (I have the opposite problem, I can't wait that long
).
Yeah, BCS is getting kind of ridiculous... the beer stores around here sell the 12 oz bottles individually with a limit of 1 for like $10 each. I probably won't make any effort to get it this year, unless I can find the coffee bourbon stout. The regular BCS is awesome, but it's not
that much better than something like Schlafly's bourbon stout, which I see around here year round.
So, if you see any coffee BCS this year, I'll trade you BBQ or whatever....
