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.

Cellar Raid!! It has mellowed with time, but still lots of blueberry and vanilla, with a smooth bourbon finish.

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

Aged at LEAST 5 yrs.. this is an Interesting one. BIG fruity Chocolate naose, but the Flavor has that tang of the berries, Like a literal chocolate covered fruit. The rest of the flavors end smooth.

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.

Late check in (2017 Vintage) This was past its prime. Not terrible by any means but not great either. I know it gets a lot of flack but I like sweet stouts and use to really enjoy it.
