Seeing BBQ will always bring me back to this exchange with Reaper from 2010. It was learning moment for me that I remember and also a window into the beer journey
And yeah, still not feeling Quads 13 years later
Cheers to you and Reaper

That said, I'm not really digging the brew. I get the hint of bourbon barrel, and I like bourbon, but it tastes extremely sweet, like a syrup too me. My least favorite of the BSS.

You may come around to 'em one day, too. Palates evolve.
