Breweries that toast my check-ins of their beers are very thirsty breweries. Someone get them a beer!

The Cranfather Anderson

Your basic cranberry RIS, if that’s a thing. Is there cherry and orange peel here? I wouldn’t be able to say.

Dirty Bastard Anderson

This is super easy to like. Malty, yeasty, roasty, tannic, bitter, and sweet where it needs to be. All things in balance.

Chocolate Cherry KBS Anderson

Honestly, this just tastes like regular-degular KBS. It’s nice, though. Perhaps there’s a tiny bit of cherry in the aftertaste…

Beer Geek Breakfast Anderson

Canned 18 months ago, which seems like a good thing. All of the edges have been smoothed, and this is pretty nice. Dry, bitter, fairly decent pairing of coffee and base beer.

120 Minute Ipa (2022) Anderson

It reads “ages well” on the bottle, but I am still convinced this is better fresh. And this is fresh.

KBS Hazelnut Anderson

I like hazelnuts. I haven’t had a lot of hazelnut beers that worked. This…works? Smells a bit like those crappy hazelnut coffees that were popular in boutique coffee shops in the 1980s, but tastes better than that. Save your money and buy regular KBS.

Campfire Amplifier Anderson

I stand by my earlier rating. This is one tasty beer. It’s surprisingly dry, and every single thing is in harmony. Great beer.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa Anderson

Pretty tasty stuff. Cinnamon maybe a bit too dominant, so some of the typical KBS balance is lost.

Centennial IPA Anderson

Can’t believe I have never checked this in before. Earthy, resinous, and sharp, with a caramel note. I wanted an IPA, and this suits me.

Campfire Amplifier Anderson

Once again, I suggest you not pass this over. It’s remarkable for a beer that’s easy to get in 6-packs.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2016) 12.4% Anderson

This has aged well. Everything nice and nothing out of place.

120 Minute IPA (2019) Anderson

I like this better with a year on it than fresh. I guess that puts me in the majority.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) Anderson

This ain’t bad. Restrained sweetness, tons of coffee, and a hint of maple.
