Three Craft Brewers Spread Collaboration

[BahHumBrew]

Here's a sneak peek of the label that Flossmoor will be using for Collaborative Evil at GABF.  FiftyFifty will be using essentially the same label with appropriate text changes and the FiftyFifty orange as the background color.  I heard a rumor that there could be some swag coming out as well, such as t-shirts and temporary tattoos, based on the central label image.

Rumor is trite... if you all do swag, larger swag xxl and xxxl would be appreciated...

No, I probably just goofed.  I edited it.

Good.  Now go there on Sept 27th and send me some Collaborative Evil.

It will be interesting see how other brewers work with the same recipe.  Looking forward to your comments on the Flossmoor or Lucky Bucket versions.

So how did the Collaborative Evil taste comparison work out?  There's a short comparison on William Brand's site.

Collaborative Evil was a treat.  And each version was different.  I really liked Fifty Fifty’s version. Todd Ashman nailed it. Aged in wood, it has lots of vanilla on the nose, but the taste was complex with all those spices and the wood intertwining. Nothing to swill, but a delightful sipper.

Flosmoor’s version was a bit sweeter, Lucky Bucket’s had less wood in the nose. Fascinating.

I stopped by FiftyFifty yesterday and they still had Concentrated Evil on tap.  Was a bit surprised but happy be able to get another pint.

Can you believe they ALL took 4th place! 
They were all great to try side by side. Zac had very little as he is still transitioning with lucky bucket.
IMO, FSBC had the biggest spice nose (younger than 50/50)
LB seemed least spicy with a bit more hop character.
All great, from what I had.
Wish everyone could sample all three.
Might be made again, I presume.
