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.

One I have been meaning to drink for ever. Sweet chocolate, smooth with the added bonus of blueberries.

Dark chocolate, stewed blueberries, vanilla, rotten banana peel (or maybe prune… or both) and dark cherries. This one aged well.

Smaker av enbär, blåbär och där alkoholen lyser igenom en del. En stout som påminner mer som en porter.

Clearing the cellar. Surprisingly decent. Not really my thing, but if you like very sweet, chocolate covered blueberries, this is your beer. I could only do a 4 oz taster at best

Bärig doft. Len munkänsla. Smak av choklad, mörka bär (blåbär?) och mandel. Lagrad sedan 2016. Fin mognad. Svårt att säga om den blivit bättre.

Age (4 yrs?) must have mellowed this... Very smooth, hints of chocolate, still some blueberry, barrel aging comes thru late.
