Agreed. Every bomber/750mL I purchase tends to sit in my closet collecting dust. Not because I'm looking to age it, I just can't justify/don't want to justify drinking that volume of a super decadent beer in one session. I always crack one open with friends, but even then they tend to stockpile.Format is terrible. As someone who tends to drink to end an evening alone, this was all I needed for the evening.
Overseas is getting the 12 oz bottles since they aren't used to bombers. We're some gullible suckers
Even with BCBS, I used to love that I got 4-6 unique experiences. All caught different flavor notes. Now I'm stuck with 1-2 total for a whole year. Parabola, KBS, black note, high westy, all have been 4-12 different sessions worth. I feel I strive for those more more than this one and done moment with CBS. Amazing Stout but it doesn't mean much when your experiences are cut short due to corporate decisions. Would've loved this in a 4x12oz pack. But founders is making almost double by going with the bigger bomber.
8 oz cans sound awesome. Modern times had their bigger ba stouts in 12 oz cans and sold them for what felt like $30 for 2 cans. I can deal with that price increase of more than $1/oz and would pay that here with CBS. Getting 4 experiences instead of two makes all the difference on a review ratings front.Agreed.

Interboro has one-upped everyone with their most recent BA-stout release. They have 3 variants and they all come in 8 oz. cans. Really hope more breweries catch wind to this and follow suit for their higher ABV offerings.
2016 saison brett. Very good.
Drank it last night:
Verdict? It’s fine. Really just tastes like a sweeter version of KBS to me. Definitely not worth the price tag. You could pour a half-shot of maple syrup into a pour of KBS and you would wind up with an extremely similar beer.
This seems like a case of a formerly “amazing” beer still being good, but seeming much less impressive in a time where competition is much stiffer.
