Backwoods Bastard (2020)

Been sittin' on this for more than three years. Decided tonight's the night. Hasn't lost a thing and maybe has mellowed some.

Red & White

I wasn't sure what to expect with this beer. I tasted oak at first drink, then I got the barrel grape, mild. I wouldn't guess it as a Wit beer. The more I sip, the better I like. JBF for 10% ABV. Get to Dinner Bell before it's gone at 3 bucks a bottle.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2023)

Barrel aged delicious. Thanks, Pete!

French Toast Bastard

They named it right. Even with my eyes closed I'd get French toast, including the butter and syrup. 11% ABV earns JBF. Only downside is it's super sweet.

Backwoods Bastard (2022)

Cellared for a year. The bourbon flavor might've dropped off a bit, but it's still really good.

Breakfast Stout

Not bad. A little too strong on the java for my taste. It did pair well with the triple chocolate pizookie dessert.

4 Giants Tropical Treasure

Pineapple and melon gone wild.

KBS

Roasty and creamy goodness with a 12% ABV rocket.

All Day West Coast

A West Coast version of this session beer.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa

I get coconut, even though there's none in it. Maybe it's the cocoa. Not as much cinnamon as last time, but still there. 12% ABV says this is a nightcap.

Highball Drifter (2022)

The hint of fruit - orange and cherry - set it off, but it's the 11% ABV that clinches the deal.

Ultimate Oktoberfest

Tastes kinda barrel aged. Carnally, maybe maple. Very good. JBF at 10% ABV.

Hazy-O!

Citrusy. Not sure what the oats do, but I like it.

Más Agave Premium Hard Seltzer Lime

Nope.

60 Minute IPA

A reliable favorite.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa

Cinnamon says hello in this beer. Not bad. Extra JBF credit for 12% ABV. I'll sleep well tonight.

Vibrant P'ocean

I hated it. Dumped it in the yard. No rating.

Punkin Ale

Three years since I checked this in. Still a bit light on the spice.

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter

I knew this was gonna be good when I saw it on the shelf at the store. And it is! Limited release bourbon barrel aged ale only 3 weeks old. I get dark fruit with just a hint of off-setting sweet.

Dirty Bastard

First check-in for 6 years. Still good!

Panther Cub (2021)

What's not to like? Bourbon barrel aged, vanilla, and a touch of maple syrup somewhere in there. 9% ABV. Rich and malty. So good and I'm not sharing! Wohohohohahahaha!!

All Day IPA

I can't believe I've never checked in this beer before. Lots of flavor and decent body for a session beer. Why, I believe I could drink this IPA All Day!

Unraveled IPA

The flavors come out best when it warms a bit. The juicy finish doesn't hide the nice hop bitterness.

Campfire Amplifier

Tastes like a Smore - only better because it's beer!

Big Luscious (2020)

Chocolate stout with raspberries. Too heavy on the raspberries, making it sweeter than I like. Still pretty good.
