Here is a blind taste test of the top 144.

Is there a better value in BA Stouts than Big Bad Baptist?

BTW - #1 will be in BR on Saturday.

Big Bad Baptist?


The girl at Binny's put me on it last night because I was buying Surly's Darkness and I bought two for $10.99 each. If they're really that good I may have to head back over and grab a few more.

Yeah, it may not be in Surly Darkness's class, but I can promise you, it's good. At $10.99 for a bomber, it's the best bargain out there, IMO. If you see Big Bad Baptista, or Double BBB, get those, too. Big Bad Baptista is my favorite of the three. Think along the lines of BBA Abraxa, with the cinnamon.

If I go into a coma, I could also use a drip of that stuff

Had it at whole foods. Super booze and coffee flavors, so good.

21. Orpheus Brewing Abandon All Hope


Had this in Athens, never heard of it before, loved it.

I think the Nebraska Black Betty is a good value BA too. And our local Community BA Legion RIS is $15/ 6 pack and every bit as good as most anything.

The list kinda loses credibility with Funky Buddha dropping two artificially flavored Porters in the Top 15. I’m actually a big fan of Paste. They do good work; but, with those two making the top it feels like the Tasting Panel was composed of teenage girls.

I'm loading up on Baptist & Baptista.

ETA: They're releasing a Triple Barrel Big Bad Baptist this year, Jax.

Wiltz! How are you?

I haven't had either of those FB beers, but they seem to be upfront about the adjunct beers, but are just saying that FB is really good at making them without them tasting gimmicky.

Again, I haven't had them, but the ones I have had that are highly rated were worthy.

Baptist is easy enough. Baptista can be hard to find...

I’m good...

To their credit, Funky certainly pioneered some pretty crazy flavor combos and established a vibe and carefree attitude down there where anything goes for beer. SoFL is like the Wild, Wild West and that’s pretty cool.

They’ve also had some really serious quality issues and some steady brewer turnover. As a result the beers just aren’t what they used to be and one batch can vary wildly from the next. The bakers extract in some of the beers is so pronounced now that Last Snow is like drinking sun tan lotion.
