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.

Faded from the blueberry bomb it was before. Some said the miracle berries made a blueberry muffin but it didn't help it enough for me. Thanks Kirk. #shitshare

Shit share 2023 - better than 2017 or my tastes have changed. But keeping the rating. Probably only a 2 now.

Dried blueberry has given way to dark licorice. Not really a fan.

You can smell sweetness of the chocolate and vanilla. Much tarter than I expected upon first sip. It tingles the tongue.

We'll, this is the 6 year, BA version on tap. Better than the original IMO. Not as much NyQuil. Definitely a sipper.

Vanilla has waned. Blueberry notes still evident. Would enjoy more without the fruit actually. Happy Birthday Erin!

Got this beer trade from Awesnap after yesterday's CITO event. He warned me this was going to be spectacular. Wow, I cannot disagree!! The blueberries, chocolate and vanilla all stand out in this Bourbon barrel aged Imperial stout! Super yummy!! =)

Den dufter som noget jeg aldrig har duftet i en øl. Det er en stout brygget pü blübÌr, med masser af sødme. Den er i perfekt balance og indbegrebet af nydeøl. Den er speciel pü den bedst tÌnkelig müde. Vild øl at fü lov til at smage. Hold nu kÌft!

Pulled a bottle out to see how it aged. Less blueberry acidity, but still not for me.

One of the best (if not THE best) of the night. And to think, I almost passed on this. Founders fails to disappoint. Delicious! Blueberry and dark chocolate come through very distinctly. YUM! 4.50!
