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.

Lots of blueberries up front, and then chocolate, vanilla, and bourbon on the backend. Very good. 4.5/5

2nd half.Only real change from prev.,slight tart blueberry lingers in finish more.Or maybe my mouth is soaked with bourbon blueberries 😃 Nine Inch Nails - March Of The Pigs(Halo 7,1994)All I listened to for the 2 weeks before Downward Spiral.

Blueberry, chocolate, vanilla and bourbon all playing together beautifully. 👌 Really beautifully mellowed, 2016 vintage.

Blueberries don’t mesh too well here. But boozy, so that’s a plus.

The blueberries and chocolate make this very smooth. People like or hate this generally; I enjoyed it. Tastes lower ABV despite full body, making it dangerously sessionable for me. Tasted in a balloon glass in premise.

Wat een fantastisch bier. Complex met vanille, chocolade en een goeie zwik blauwe bessen die een licht zuurtje geven. Nogmaals, Founders is altijd goed!

Bought this bottle at Founders a few years ago and finally cracked it open. It was great! Smooth blueberry chocolate blend with just enough Bourbon not to get in the way. Hopefully they will bring it back soon.

Pouring real nice...Still a lot of blueberry but better balanced then new. They should do this one again or tie blueberry into a KBS variant
