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

The nose is so inviting. I think I like it more initially and less as I drink it. Really nice vanilla notes, some bourbon, and tons of blueberry. Does get medicinal after a while. Okay, better than 4 years ago, but still quite a lot. Gotta split many ways

Have to downgrade my rating for future reference. Must've been a taster previously cuz after one full glass, this is way too sweet for my taste.

Very dark and a little thin. Not sure if this one didn't age well, but it was too bitter/sour for my tastes...

This has lost about 10% of its fresh sweetness which makes it still about 25% too sweet. I’ll finish a glass. The rest is hitting the drain.

I was one of the few who loved this beer when it released, but, I feel like overtime it’s gotten too sweet.

Last time I had this it was a sickening sweet mess, age reduced the sweetness some, brought out some chocolate notes, better, but not for me still

Energy drink front end with a casual chocolate aftertaste. Mellowed out with aging.

Not sure how old this one is - 4 years? It was time! Playdoh on the nose and first sip, going into odd blueberry, which rounds out into actually a pleasant choco-berry palate. Good and bad here.
