"Life is a game, boy Life is a game one plays according to the rules." - JD Salinger. We strayed from the beaten path on this brew by aging it in 100% rye barrels. Rye barrels add unique peppery notes & deep earthy tones to Big Bad Baptist. Comin thro' the rye.

Xmas Boozy Bottleshare. Thanks to Cloin. Opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth but fairly dry dark chocolate, a little vanilla sweetness. Light spicy whiskey. Light dry finish. Fine but there is a gazillion beers doing this and doing it better.

Bought at Liquor Shed in Casper. Bottling..Den 9042, 2nd release.

It pours pitch black with a short lived head of tan foam, not bad with the lacing.

The smell is whiskey, cocoa, coffee, roasted malt, a definite sweetness aboot it.

Pretty balanced taste. Whiskey, roasted malt, vanilla and cocoa, some coffee which I get mostly in the finish. Not overly sweet at all, which is a plus. Alcohol is there but I wouldn't call it hot.

Fullish mouthfeel, creamy.

Very good.

22oz @ Farees'. Appearance: very dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma: ashy, coffee, some weird farty notes. Taste: moderately sweet, lots of coffee, whiskey barrels with some spice notes coming from Rye barrels. Overall: pretty good, but it's not that good as others.

Dark brown. The aroma is a bit nutty, has a subtle barrel note, maybe some sweet chocolate. Comes across a bit light for its size, and maybe a touch of chocolate, and a little bit of rye. Still seems to come across as a bit light, a miss.

22 oz. bottle, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out plenty of coffee and cocoa, along with plenty of peppery rye whiskey barrels. Flavour is dry and barrel-heavy, with lots of peppery rye whiskey barrels, dry coffee, and a little cocoa. Lots of barrels, dry coffee and barrel character. Another excellent rendition of BBB.
