KBS Blueberry Wilcox

This one isn’t really for me. There’s a strong twang from the berries, but getting zero blueberry flavor. Boozy background. Drinkable, but no fun.

Panther Cub (2021) Wilcox

Curious flavor with this one. The flavor mix almost gives me an anise vibe. Glad to finally try this one.

Sweet Repute (2022) Wilcox

Looks like this a reissue beer from almost a decade ago. I liked it a lot back then. This new iteration is tasty, but not hitting like 2013. Very bourbon forward with the vanilla notes I come to expect from BBA wheat wines. Maple is kinda mixed up.

Snowbound Vanilla Porter Wilcox

Vanilla heavy porter with some roastiness. Fun brew for being snowbound. Per the Untappd notes, this beer is not available in North Carolina (????).

Ultimate Oktoberfest Wilcox

Dude, that’s yummy! Got a familiar & friendly barrel aged nose and flavor. I can’t remember having an Oktoberfest beer like this before.

Big Worse Red Wine Edition Wilcox

I’m not sure the age of this bottle, but I assume “old” based on some friends’ checkins. This is right for aging. Wine notes are low on the backend. Wood character is solid and this seems like a well-built barleywine. Another Hoos brew!

Bruocsella 1900 Grand Cru (2018) Wilcox

Nice stuff, as expected. Funky cheese with a hint of fruitiness. Very cool seeing this here.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2020) Wilcox

Maybe my bauds are off, but this ain’t popping for me like olden days. I think this is the 1st time have the flagship KBS from the year round production batches. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. Still, it’s tasty.

KBS Hazelnut (2022) Wilcox

Decadent, smooth, & crushable. This is so good with great hazelnut flavor. I had a feeling this would be a killer variant.

Definitely more enjoyable on draft than the recent bottle release. Hearty without being abrasive. Just glad I’m getting some flavor vibes.

KBS Espresso (2021) Wilcox

2021 edition tasting super solid like past renditions. Good compensation for Griddle having blown already.

Más Agave Premium Hard Seltzer Grapefruit Wilcox

Much disappointed with this Mas Agave seltzer offering — especially after having the quite tasty strawberry version a while back. This reminds me of a junky wine cooler.

Más Agave Premium Hard Seltzer Strawberry Wilcox

Bought this on a whim, tonight, out of the singles cooler, but this surprisingly tasty. Now, I’m curious about the other Más Agave seltzers. Went great with dinner and kicking off the UVA/Miami 🏈 game. Go Hoos!

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa Wilcox

Cinnamon dominates with a good touch of cocoa. Vanilla & bourbon barrel seem muted. Good body.

Velvet Rush Wilcox

Not bad for a big ole brown decorated up with pretty things. Seems to have a slightly fudgey flavor to me — I like it. Punk and Fake Dusty like this one too.

Not a bad barleywine. Kinda more subtle than I might expect. Curious how this one will age.

Blushing Padre (2020) Wilcox

Mmmmmm. This is tasty & a bit too easy to drink for the abv. Tequila barrel aging did the Monk well. Cool find.
