Just drank a Xocoveza back-to-back with a Xocoveza Charred for the sake of comparison. Good lord...the difference is night and day. Two completely different beers. Barrel-aging did nothing good for it.
Charred is honestly one of the biggest letdowns I've had in a while. Had such potential, but fell flat on its face.

Agreed 100%. Charred was such a letdown. Give me reg Xoco anyday.

Been looking to go to the one here in Atl. Thinking of taking my wife for our anniversary, she's the drinker in the family lol.

I've been to a couple...there's one a block or so from my place.
I dig it...it's got a great selection of taps and bottles/cans, but 99% of the time I just go straight to a brewery instead.

Had the FBS last night. Wow. I gotta say it, its clearly better than xocoveza.

It's all subjective. Two different kinds of beers.
My personal opinion? Xocoveza is better by quite a bit.
FBS is a bitter (not in a bad way) coffee bomb.
Xoco is like a sweet Mexican hot chocolate.

Interesting, I'd almost say the exact opposite. I suppose it's like you said it's subjective.

This beer is pretty goddamn fantastic:

I say screw it, and just mix them together. FBS is definitely fuller bodied. It's sweeter, has more bitterness, and like Jbug88 said, a coffee bomb. Xoco is lighter on all fronts.
I went through a couple of the beers I got on Saturday.
-NB Citradelic is quite unique. Subtle citrus flavors, both from the hops and added fruits. I can see this being a nice change of pace come warmer weather
-Mother Road Tower Station IPA. It's about a 4 or so out of 5. So much competition out there. I just dont see myself buying this knowing that its at least 2 months old most of the time.
-Avery Raja... about a month old can of 8% DIPA. Priced a bit up there at $13/4 pack of 12oz cans. better than bombers. It had citrus and mango elements initially. But it felt old. Not very lively. Malts became a bit too sweet and heavy for me. Par for the course type beer.
I still have a Founders Imperial Stout I will revisit, along with a Oskar Blues Hotbox Coffee Porter.. That one I have no idea of its rating, so I want to go in there totally blind.. I do know its the most expensive single I have bought in a long time.. $5
And in Full disclosure, I'm at $394 in potential buys, with about $130 actually "spent" (including two growlers and two brewery visits. $60 of that $130 was spent on others essentially ). Scary stuff

Ehh there's no reason to compare FBS to Xoco.
Xoco would be amazing if it had a little more body, and I like my beers like my beers like I like my women....thick.

Stopped by my local bottleshop today and saw that they put out 2014 bottles of BCBCS 
(saved a case to sell later apparently). Snagged two bottles and another bottle of Enjoy By 2/14.

I've still only had my 1 stop this year. I've passed on quiet a bit myself. Not sure of the savings but I'd guess a couple two/tree hunna
Just trying to drink what I have but I am over due for a trip for some "normal" beer.
Dope! Every time I go into any store I always hope I find something like this. Not necessarily BCS but something rare or older.Stopped by my local bottleshop today and saw that they put out 2014 bottles of BCBCS(saved a case to sell later apparently).

As far as bottles go, I've only spent $12.99 on a 12 pack of SN Tropical IPA from their beer camp series. Pretty goddamn delicious especially for the price.
