Lizard of Koz

Stout - Imperial / Double Pastry

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.

I retesting tartness. I believe it comes from the blueberries. Definitely has a boozy quality as well

Blåbær og sjokko i A. Søt. Masse sjokko, blåbær og vanilje. Ok balanse. Lang søt og alkovarm. Beskjeden bourbon.

Hmmm. This one is truly weird. The blueberry jumps out at first but then the vanilla powers through. No sense of the chocolate or the bourbon barrel. Not enjoying.

Pretty sure this caught a bug and has improved. Not by much though

It’s unique, but I don’t think the aging did to well for this stout, it’s tasting like grapes, and that’s not a great flavor for a stout, will try again fresh

Didn't really like this at all. Don't like tasting so much tart mixed with a chocolate/coffee/bourbon combo. Just wasn't drinkable after a while.

2017 release. Revisiting this 3 years later, this is still horrifically sweet and cloying with a medicinal blueberry flavor. Blueberry robitussin, anyone?

Quite tart with very clear blueberrie notes and a hint of coffee and caramel. Not that balanced.

You ever sneek some chocolate chips from mom while she's baking only to find them to be bitter? Thats what happened here! I was surprised by the sour bitterness of this stout. disappointment is an understatement! Get what they tried to do but not for me.

Very sweet, too sweet for me. Heavy blueberry flavor comes through the roasted malts with intensity. Not a bad beer, but not for me.

Think: Chocolate covered Acai/Blueberry, with sour malt coffee finish. Not for me.

From August 2021. I didn't like it much fresh and it's gotten significantly worse with age, IMO. Just not for me. Never was. Gross.
