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 should have opened this a couple years ago. Blueberry is still surprisingly prominent.

Dark as night, oily and oily head, blueberries and bourbon nose, creamy, slow sweet start than a tart smack followed by blueberries, chocolate and raisins? Pretty pungent and the bite stays in the cheeks. Old 2018 bottle.

Back tapping from thanksgiving. This aged very well. Was too syrupy an sickeningly sweet blueberry flavor when fresh. Much more mellow and balanced but still a potent blue berry flavor.

Black licorice? Liked it more once it warmed up? Creme brulee?

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

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

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

2015 or 2016, not sure about it. Not as bad as many say. Of course too sourish in the beginning, with strong fruitiness and a little fake vanilla as a contrast. Everything balances after a few sips, with chocolate and licorice. Just a bit weak but good.
