Lizard of Koz (2016)

Stout - Imperial / Double

This one is near and dear to our hearts. Brewmaster Jeremy Kosmicki wanted to make the birthday of his little sister, Liz, a special one. So he did what he does best and brewed a stout using a few of her favorite ingredients: fresh Michigan blueberries, rich chocolate and vanilla aged in bourbon barrels to round out those beautiful flavors. Liz was floored and we think you will be too.

This has aged well. Still getting a lot of blueberry and a little chocolate. Very smooth for double digit ABV.

~7-8yr o. Aged incredibly well. Plenty of sweet, jammy blueberry. Still hints of bourbon fire on the finish. Body has thinned. Still good.

Cloying sweetness faded, and is a nice balance now

アロマから強いブルーベリーを感じる素晴らしいスタウト。ボディは時間経過の影響か軽かったが物足りなさはなく飲みやすさに寄与していた印象。樽香など大きな癖はなくシンプルながらフレーバーティーのような渋みなどもあり他で体験できないような個性的なキャラクターで面白かったです。しかしブルーベリーが強いのがとてもよかった…

Starting the certainly turn some. Might be better than it was based on reviews. Getting black licorice and she is sweet. Thanks Los.

Flavors popping all over the place. Starts w/ big blueberries, followed by vanilla. Chocolate stout suddenly pushes forward w/ everything supported on subtle bourbon barrel. Surprising carbonation gives foamy mouthfeel. 2016 - nice cellar surprise.

02.11.2016. Анис, лакрица, кислит сильно, типа ягодки, но уже совсем не туда, очень странно, либо деградировал, либо не очень понятная идея.

Coronavirus cellar turd day #179. This was super sweet fresh, and has died down a bit, but still pretty damn sweet. Thin body. It does taste like chocolate covered blueberries, but there is something I really don’t enjoy about this one. Thankful not 20%.
