Punkin Ale (2020) Herendeen

Another beer I have in my fridge and I have no idea why. It is pretty good. Surprising even at 3+ years old. Might pick up a fresh one this fall.

Citrus Squall Herendeen

Interesting beer. A lot going on... Sour, IPA, fruit. Not sure what style this beer is going for. Tough to rate.

Centennial IPA Herendeen

Yeah... Don't age this beer. I didn't age this one on purpose... Got lost in my fridge since Feb 2022. It's still good but has lost some of what makes it great.

Centennial IPA Herendeen

Porches are cool.

Sweet Repute Herendeen

OK. Boozy. Not as much character as I would expect... And not as much as I like.

Backwoods Bastard (2015) Herendeen

These definitely have a shelf life. This one is the best of the series I've been enjoying, starting with 2012. 2017 is left. Interested to see how that one is. Thanks Brandon S.!

Centennial IPA Herendeen

Skol!

Backwoods Bastard (2014) Herendeen

Founders description says it all. Scotchy, smoky, malty, spicy, etc. Good brew. 4.35. Thanks for giving one of these up Brandon S.!

Backwoods Bastard (2013) Herendeen

Might be past it's prime... not sure. Kinda watery. Profile mostly nails it. Boozy with a malty sweetness. Can't really tell that this is a scothish ale, IMO. No rating as not sure how this is supposed to taste. Thanks for sharing this one Brandon S.!

4 Giants Hazy IPA Herendeen

Pretty run of the mill. Not bad. I expect a little more from an Imperial, but still not bad. I don't remember if it was Brandon S. or Jason S. who gave me this one. Either way... Thanks!

Centennial IPA Herendeen

I know I've had this before, but likely before Untappd was a thing, or, before I started to use it. Really like the color! Just a solid standard IPA. Centennial is one of my favorite hops... Piney, bitter. Slightly sweet caramel malt backbone. Great beer!

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2018) Herendeen

Chocolate has faded. Mostly strong coffee, bourbon, and boozy. Still fairly smooth. Smells a bit like an ash tray so added tobacco to the profile. I don't think this has aged well. No rating. Might not finish it.

120 Minute IPA Herendeen

Bought this in Feb 2018. So, 3+ years of age. Says ages well... I agree with that. Little bit boozy yet, but very smooth for 17% ABV. Plus, I wanna win a couple of bikes! 😁

Panther Cub (2021) Herendeen

Really enjoy the Imperial Porter style. This one has a sharp bourbon barrel yet strong sweetness to it. I don't find this to be boozy. Good drink. Thanks Jason L. for the share!

KBS Espresso (2020) Herendeen

Mmm... KBS... Barrel-aged... As expected. Tons of coffee balanced with a nice sweetness. Quite boozy... But that's OK... I'm in the mood for it. Thanks Adam! Awesome trade!
