All Day IPA

Porter

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge

Good, if it was a pastry stout I’d call it my fav of those. Sweet, but not ridiculous like those. Sugary burnt chocolate

Beer Geek Breakfast

A bit flat, real good though, lots of coffee and chocolate milk, beautiful.

Beer Geek Breakfast

Roasty, dark roast coffee, long finish, pretty big beer

Saint Lamvinus (2021)

I appreciate this more having done the tour and understanding to some extent how it’s made. One of their stronger ones at 7%. It’s not too taniny, not musty like Merlo, but bright and crisp, w some bubbles.

Kriek 100% Lambic Bio

Tart, quite dry, wine-like, nice sour-patch thing in the finish. Bright.

Kriek 100% Lambic

Very nice, had it at the brewery, a special place. The bar back mentioned how nowadays, anyone can be a bar back, but back in the day, if you poured the whole bottle into someone’s glass, you’d be canned on the spot.

Single Barrel 1-Year Lambic

No carbonation. Kinda like a weak white wine.

Gueuze (2021)

Really really nice. Perfect mix of sweet and tartness, first beer in Brussels. Thanks to Tom for the idea.

Castle Black Stout

It’s an alcoholic Fudge Sundae, yummy

Iskold Classic

On the hoppy side, not bad. The roast beef sandwich is better

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter

Kinda like cherry coke, bright, sweet, not overly boozy, vg

Breakfast Stout

Haven’t had this in awhile, so good.

Porter

May be my fav easily avail porter. Bit of roast, bit of choc, vg

KBS Espresso

Mmm, vg. Like Russian hot cocoa or Black Forest cake. Not sweet. Dark choc, yum. Glad the barrel aging is more in the bg. Best KBS I’ve had

Panther Cub (2021)

Sweet, maple syrup? Vanilla aftertaste, nice, like a sugar wafer. Booze are there but enough other stuff going on to make it interesting. Bright, unlike the bfast stout.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2017)

Aging helps for a change. Fruitier, less carbonation, more wine, less roastinessness. Vg

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2016) 12.4%

Was a nice tan head a sec ago...get lots of chocolate syrup? Tiny bit metallic...lingers all over, brightish. Hmm, it’s a bit off somehow, too bright.

120 Minute IPA (2011)

Despite the pic, hardly any carb. Reminds me of hotd doggie claws. Very good for what it is, a big malt bomb sipper for winter nights. Still have the signed 2007 edition left. Thx again Dave

Breakfast Stout

Haven’t had this in awhile. Must be fall...perfect for the weather. Lots of dark roasty malts. Perfect.
