Douglas Rooney

Zwanze 2024 - MMXXIV Rooney

I have never had anything like this - really interesting but ultimately quite difficult to drink

Sang Bleu (2024) Rooney

I don’t really chase lambic anymore so I’m out of the game but this is fantastic

Utopias Barrel-Aged 120 Minute IPA Rooney

Better than the regular 120 - absolutely, but still a bit harsh and not well balanced

Racine Sur Lie Rooney

Ginger, Spice, Barreled And Nice Rooney

Snowbound Vanilla Porter Rooney

The Headless Gourdsman Rooney

I really do not enjoy this. It tastes like a syrupy scented candle. Very uninteresting barrel character and so artificial

120 Minute IPA (2016) Rooney

This will never age into anything you want to drink

Rosé de Gambrinus (2008) Rooney

Kriek 100% Lambic (2008) Rooney

Japanese label. Extremely tart

Porter Rooney

Second best porter there is

Porter Rooney

Perhaps the best American porter still.

French Toast Bastard (Barrel Aged Series 2022) Rooney

Very decadent and sweet. I like it but it sits so heavy.

Deep Delish Rooney

Pretty sweet but quite enjoyable nonetheless, apple crisp vibes

Covered In Nuggs Rooney

Super old school, clean and bitter, nice stuff.

Oktoberfest Rooney

Ultimate Oktoberfest Rooney

Backwoods Bastard (2014) Rooney

8 years is too long for this. Inoffensive, but a lot of little complexities and intensities that make this beer great are completely faded.

Backwoods Bastard (2016) Rooney

Still doing very well 6 years on. Bright, good barrel, booze has subsided a bit.

Backwoods Bastard (2020) Rooney

Not the best fresh(ish) vintage. Boozy, some astringency.

KBS Espresso (2021) Rooney

Much better than regular KBS. Feels less thin, bolder coffee, good stuff.

Gueuze Loerik (2019) Rooney

Still finding it wild that they made this one again and that I’m getting to try it. Not much carb, but fantastically funky and fruity nose, super tasty. This should age really well.

Breakfast Stout Rooney

I don’t usually like nitro, but this is absolutely phenomenal on nitro

Utopias Barrel - Aged World Wide Stout (2021) Rooney

Very boozy but less fusel/solventy than regular WWS at release. Very good, excellent barrel.

Velvet Rush Rooney

Oktoberfest Rooney

Did not think Founders had it in them to do a lager this good

Centennial IPA Rooney

All Day Vacay Rooney

Very forgettable.

50°N-4°E Rooney

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Rooney

Sweeter than regular KBS, but creamier and thicker as well. Super fudgy. Nice coffee character. Definite step up.

Porter Rooney

This might be the #2 straight up porter in the country, after Everett. Very nice to see an old favorite still bring some happiness to the table

Breakfast Stout Rooney

This was the first stout I ever liked - I heard about it on the radio and rushed to the Village Tavern in Geneseo to try it. I remember being dumbfounded that someone would think of putting coffee in beer. I was young, pastry time was so far away.

Imperial Stout (2016) Rooney

One of the best beers to age.
