Since I have reviewed other Stagg Jr batches in full detail going to just hit the highlights on this one.
So much brown sugar on the nose. Cherries for days as well.
Hotter than batch 12 or 13, but once you add the right amount of water it comes alive. Caramel, fruit, and oak in nearly perfect harmony.
Finish and mouthfeel as expected, and by that I mean “super long” and “thick and sticky”
Is this batch as good as 12? Nooo. No. 13? Also no. Still an exceptional product? Hell yes. A steal at the $52 I paid for it. Would do all day, every day.

I just cracked a bottle of Batch 13, which is the first Stagg Jr I’ve tried. Compared to most ECBP batches I’ve had, it drank really thin and hot. Could just be the neck pour and it will open up after a while, but my first experience was pretty disappointing in how significantly inferior it was to ECBP.
