He's had the beer and owns more Pappy than you've probably seen in your life. He contributes regularly to both the beer and bourbon threads.
Rather than looking like a dumbass, maybe you should do a little research into decent beers before you make moronic threads about garbage ones. What's next? Your review of Keystone? Milwaukee's Best?

I know exactly what barrels the bourbon street series brews are aged in. If you picked up Van winkle wheated bourbon from the nose or the taste of that beer I really hope your career utilizes that palate of yours because thats impressive

I mean we've seen countless times someone comes to FBD and post something they like that we disagree with. when I first started getting into craft this is something I may have liked, now I can drink it but I know it isn't a great beer. It is drinkable though and everyone has a different palate. So this may be a decent/good beer to him but not to you (us) but why hate other than to get a reaction. which is the point I guess....

exactly, the different barrels are just a marketing tool. The beer you put into matters much more than the quality of the whiskey that came out of the barrel.
Both the Abita bourbon streets that i have had have been shockingly thin.
I'll mail you a Great Raft Old Mad Joy and compare it to the Abita.

But the point remains, why start a thread for it? It's superfluous when we have a designated daily thread for beer talk. I have 3 beers in the fridge right now that are new to me that I expect will be pretty good. Should I make a thread for each of those?

And ketchup on the steak. Don't forget the ketchup on the well done, sous vide steak

That is true... we have the making of a truly epic thread....
but these threads that are started by people new to craft beer, they don't bother me. I guess because I'm recently into it and how I thought it was "cool" when I found a local I liked. Even though 90% of the FBD thread thought it was "meh" it was still a great beer to me.
Oh, btw, as a teacher. I found a organization that specializes in teaching English in Europe for the summer. 6 weeks of your summer, you pay 650 for your round trip ticket. They pay you 300 Euro for meal expenses. You basically live in a hostel with other people in the program for free and work 8am to 5pm Mon-Sat in Italy. I applied for Florence and Rome. I have an interview with the company out of New Orleans. Not sure if your interested but it seems fun while you are young.

This might be the first time an Abita beer has created a thread of this length, even if the majority of it is discussing how bad their beers are. OP is to be congratulated, even if I completely disagree with his opinion on this beer.

no no no Abita Strawberry has to beat this one

Honestly, before the bar owner told me what I was tasting, the initial bitter taste hinted at simple Weller. But the finish, it leaned toward a black walnut flavor. Odd, but something I always equate to PVW.
When I read the countless food and beer threads on here, I honestly believe many have lost their way. There is less comcern for how something tastes rather than how it fits into a particular mold or standard.
Five years ago this place was sucking the dick of Abita Strawberry, now that IPAs and sours are trendy, everyone fawns over the hoppiest monstrosities even if their flavor profile is rather one note and meh.
I can ignore the fact that they call it a baltic porter. The beer itself is thin, decently carbonated, not overly sweet, finishes smooth while under 50 degrees, and has such a strong bourbon smell it intoxicates the taste buds.
Alas, there are those who pursue complication over enjoyment. If that is their wish, so be it.
The beer itself is easy drinking and tastes quite good to me. Substance over label I suppose.

I promise you that isn't what is happening here. If you like the beer, great, enjoy the frick out of it, but people here will and do give Abita credit when it is deserved. The BBA stout was much better than the porter. And Abita has made some good beers recently, Macchiato being one.

none of which should be in a barrel aged porter/stout

All of this leads to a broader question:
Why do many of Abita's beers seem to be too thin for their supposed style? Does batch size affect that? Or is it just philosophy?
