Harry Barker

90 Minute Imperial IPA (2023) Barker

This really is an impressive IIPA, rich and warming on the palate, a ton of piney notes. Very good

Porter Barker

A very roasty dark brew with a sweetness that shows up later in the sip.

KBS Spicy Chocolate (2023) Barker

Def coffee and chocolate, but would have liked more spice here. Still very good, but could have excelled.

Citrus Squall Barker

A reasonably drinkable citrusy IPA

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2023) Barker

This year’s release is reliably delicious

Porter Barker

Another nice brew with a tasty breakfast.

Kbs (2023) Barker

A tasty regular release of a solid dark brew

Dogfish Head Sea Quench Ale 2022 Barker

A crisp refreshing sour

Utopias Barrel - Aged World Wide Stout (2021) Barker

Rich deep flavorful modification to an already very tasty brew. Boozy, some dark chocolate, flavor lingers for a long satisfying while.

Backwoods Bastard (2014) Barker

Found this older bottle in the archives (big surprise) and despite 8+ years in captivity it’s still well worth drinking. Lost some of its hoppy character but still a good pour.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2017) Barker

Yep, had another one

All Day Haze Barker

Pretty drinkable for this ABV.

Fruit-Full Fort Barker

Another taster, a definite strong fruity brew, and a bit dangerous at this ABV.

Mas Agave Clasica Lime (2022) Barker

An intern margarita flavored brew, actually pretty tasty.

Backwoods Bastard (2022) Barker

From yesterday, a pretty tasty barrel aged beer.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2017) Barker

Also from last night, also still drinking nicely.

American Beauty (2015) Barker

This was pretty good up to a point, an aging Imperial pale ale that wasn’t meant to last 7 years. From yesterday’s CBE bottle-share. No rating

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2022) Barker

A tasty dark brew, good rich flavors and a hint of coffee.

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter Barker

Yes, a. Ice highball referenced dark brew.

Mothership Series Barrel Aged Nemesis Barker

Definite strong dark brew, really nice bourbon notes.

Home Front Ipa Barker

An interesting concept, aged on old baseball bats.

All Day Chill Day Barker

Crisp, cñean bright

Highball Drifter (2022) Barker

A Manhattan in a brew, tasty

Chocolate Cherry KBS Barker

A delicious rich barreled brew with tasty tart cherry flavors and a strong chocolate character too.

Centennial IPA (2022) Barker

Still tasty, a nice IPA

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2017) Barker

This is still drinking very well. Another recent purchase of an older bottle.

Frootwood (2021) Barker

A newer release, and it is REALLY fruit filled.

Porter Barker

Because breakfast in my hometown incñudes this, and eggs benedict.

Oak-Aged Vanilla World Wide Stout (2017) Barker

Fortunate to snag a few of these aged stouts, and this is really tasty still.

Porter Barker

A nice beer with breakfast.

Iris (2016) Barker

Also from yesterday, and interesting lambic from this well known brewery.

Grolsch Premium Lager Barker

This one definitely gets a nostalgic bump for breaking the mold of standard American beers. Refreshing and still tasty.

Beer Geek Brunch Weasel (2014) Barker

Same sipping back in February. Also holding up nicely.

Monk's Brew Barrel Aged Bourbon Barker

Continuing to clear the vault.

Monk's Brew (2013) Barker

Still an interesting brew, no off flavors, a nice little Belgie note too.

Breakfast Stout (2021) Barker

Lotts of coffee in this one, but also some bitter chocolate to balance.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2018) Barker

Another NYE brew.

World Wide Stout (2015) Barker

An older bottle, still holding up well.

Sixty One Barker

An older bottle from 2015, still very tasty thiugh the wine character is jow dominant.

Curmudgeon's Better Half Barker

A bottle from around a decade ago, and it’s still pretty tasty.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2017) Barker

Had this in a vertical tasting and it was not the highlight. Maybe a lower ABV? Didn’t seem to improve with time.

World Wide Stout (2014) Barker

Still solid after quite a while. Kept well, drank well.

Hop Series Citra Barker

Had this a few years ago in ‘18, from a 2011 series. Still okay.

Raison D'Être (2009) Barker

Still held up nicely enough. Dated bottle. UDNR

Black Hole (2008) Barker

Shared this a few days ago. The coffee character was definitely softened with time.

Raison D'Être Barker

A good complex brew from one of my favorite breweries. A ‘19 vintage, which I don’t see as an option here, it’s held up just fine.

KBS Espresso (2020) Barker

A solid coffee stout, with no overwhelming espresso character. Def there but its soft enough to be tasty.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) Barker

A revisit of another nice dark brew.

Big Luscious (2020) Barker

A tasty quite sweet stout with def chocolate and raspberry.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) Barker

A very nice variant of a very nice brew. The rich pancake flavor has just a bit of chocolate in the finish. From last Thursday.

My Antonia (2011) Barker

Another cellar find, and also still very drinkable. The hop character has clearly eased with the years but no off flavors in this blast from the past.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2020) Barker

Another from last night, and a reliable deep brew year after year.
