Christian Dawson

Hazy Squall Dawson

Solid IPA. Very citrusy.

120 Minute IPA Dawson

Sorry not sorry - this is the perfect beer. Strong, raisin, boozy, a tiny bit of apple, yet still complex with a flavor that changes from start to finish. All without being too much of any one thing

Poised For Flight Dawson

Light, clean

Nuggets of Wisdom Dawson

Hoppy, almost creamy

Mount & Ocean Dawson

Basically just lemongrass. Citrus and herbal

75 Minute IPA Dawson

On cask. Disappointing from what I remember. It is halfway between 60 and 90 but no maple flavor at all. Hasn't aged well.

Oak-aged Black & Blue Dawson

Fruity, oaky, strong. Great blend of beer, mead, wine, and all the old styles mixed with booze

Nønɇmör Dawson

An actually good black IPA (besides my own). Not super intense so it's good for summer. Good bold flavor with coffee at the end

Outdoor Shower Dawson

Solid wheat

Palo Santo Marron Dawson

Still convinced this is just a barleywine in disguise. So much raisin, toffee and chocolate

All Day Grapefruit Dawson

Solid

KBS Spicy Chocolate Dawson

A bit thin and not spicy enough for me, but the dark chocolate flavor is great

Mortal Bloom Dawson

Decent citrus and floral notes but a little light for me

World Wide Stout Dawson

Could do with some age in my opinion

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) Dawson

Aged 4 years. Starting to lose the booziness and some of the complexity. Very smooth. A little more berry notes. I imagine this is the extent of aging for this one.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2023) Dawson

Chocolate, maple syrup, and bitter coffee. Fairly boozy too

BoDeGose Dawson

Tons of guava. Not too sour.

The Cranfather Dawson

Like an old fashioned mixed with a whiskey sour. Tart, fruity, and a boozy and oakey aftertaste

Utopias Barrel-Aged 120 Minute IPA Dawson

Just ridiculous. Initial aroma is sweet candied fruits and honey. Mouthfeel is silky. Flavor is a barleywine mixed with brandy. Notes of apple, honey, cherries, and a finish of dark hops and caramel candy. Curious to age this but I worry it'll lose flavor

KBS Blueberry Dawson

Tart blueberry and a touch of coffee. Not their best variant. Will try aging for a few years.

Punkin Ale Dawson

Just a fantastic fall beer

Fruit-Full Fort Dawson

2018, 5 year aged. Quite jammy. Drinks like a barleywine with tart berries.

All Day West Coast Dawson

Nice and piney.

All Day Crimson Sky Dawson

Hoppy and malty

All Day Haze Dawson

Can't believe this is a session - probably because it's barely below the line. Tons of juicy flavor and a nice full mouth feel. Very good, but a little deceptive calling it a "session"

Walking Run Dawson

Light but equal parts juicy. Good balance of dark and bright hops.

Citrus Squall Dawson

Smells like super bitter grapefruit and citrus pith but the flavor is a little lighter and more of a sweet tangerine with some citrus bite at the end

Sweet Repute Dawson

Generally sweet, I guess I get maple syrup from it. The bourbon and wheatwine combo is coming across more as an apple brandy. Super boozy

Chocolate Cherry KBS Dawson

A little more cinnamon in this than I remember. Still plenty boozy.

Tropical 4 Giants Hazy Dawson

Tons of fruit in this one. A little strawberry and some tropical fruits. A little more tart than I was expecting.

Nordic Spring Dawson

Actually not a fan of the orange AND pine/berries. Should have gone way way or the other.

Un'ora Dawson

Not bad. Fairly clean with some corn notes.

Maple Barrel Aged Frangelic Mountain Brown Dawson

Big chocolate notes with some maple and whiskey flavors.

French Toast Bastard Dawson

An extra .25 for being exactly what it says it is. Cinnamon, vanilla, maple French toast. Literally all of those flavors and smells to a T.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) Dawson

Aged 3 years. Starting to get more of a coffee flavor now.

The Perfect Pairing Pale Ale Dawson

A decent pale by itself. Does pair ok with cheddar. Tones down the sharpness of the cheddar but not sure it necessarily adds anything to it.

Ultimate Oktoberfest Dawson

Whiskey forward but kind of bitey. Not getting a ton of sweeter caramel or corn notes I might expect from a bourbon specifically, plus the marzen aspects are more or less completely masked by the booze

Mandarin & Mango Crush Dawson

Sort of like a shandy, a mimosa, or a light orange soda. Not my favorite.

Utopias Barrel - Aged World Wide Stout (2021) Dawson

Night before vacation beer. Smells like booze. Tastes like chocolate booze. Surprisingly incredibly smooth. This will be something indescribable after 5 years of aging.

Porter Dawson

Smoky, bitter, and rye. A porter that's not trying to be a stout

Centennial IPA Dawson

Malt forward. Biscuity with a little caramel and then aftertaste of hops.

Raison D'Extra Dawson

Booze, raisins, booze, molasses, booze, dark fruits, and maybe....booze?

Festina Pêche Dawson

Like a peach gummy ring. Very peachy, as it should be. It's a novelty bit still delicious.

KBS Hazelnut Dawson

Chocolate, coffee, fudge, and hazelnut. Tastes like an Italian dessert. Not sure why I only gave this a 4 last time.... I also think it's one of the few stouts that's better cold. It starts to lose some of its fudginess when it warms.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2018) Dawson

Fudgey chocolate and coffee and booze. So smooth and rich and decadent.

Kentucky Bourbon Stout (KBS) (2021) Dawson

Up to a year aged - a little lighter, easier drinking, some nutty notes, maybe a little whiskey notes

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2020) Dawson

2 year aged - still a bit of bite, starting to get some cherry notes and a little more wood

Nitro KBS Dawson

Chocolate, chocolate, coffee, and chocolate. Nitro makes it so smooth.

reDANKulous Dawson

Huge bitter and grapefruit notes balanced by a slightly more subtle malt backbone.

Belgian Twist Dawson

Smells like a good Belgian. Flavor hits you in the face with banana, then mellows into orange peel and finishes with sweet candy from the agave.

KBS Hazelnut Dawson

Tastes like hazelnut coffee. Sweet and delicious!

Where the Wild Hops Are Dawson

A good ipa with a little tickle of funky Brett. Musty and earthy meets bitter hops.

Frootwood Dawson

A little like a Shirley temple. Grenadine, a little booze, and light maple syrup. A little like cherry syrup so be prepared for sweetness.

4 Giants Hazy IPA Dawson

Hazy and juicy

Scarlet Dawn IPA Dawson

Smells pretty malty. Flavor is a bitter more of just generically bitter hops and some toasted biscuit notes.

Velvet Rush Dawson

Definite pastry notes, almost like a chocolate donut in a way. A little thin and one sided for me.

Blue Hen Dawson

A little sweet, a tiny bit bitter

Solid Gold Dawson

Weirdly fruit and bubblegum notes like fruits fruitstripes gum AFTER it loses its flavor. Fairly bland overall but still no cat pee flavor, so it has that going for it!

Fruit-Full Fort Dawson

2015, 6 year aged. Drinks like a barleywine or not sour fruit beer at this point. Basically tastes like a super sweet fruit drink or gummy candy. A little boozy but definitely not like it's 18%

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa Dawson

Cinnamon, vanilla, and more cinnamon. I heard a description that it's like a churro dipped in mocha. This is accurate.

Cherry Bergamot Whiskey Sour Dawson

Definite alcohol notes on the nose, but almost more like vodka. Also some oak and citrus. Flavor is pretty light with alcohol, cherry, and lime. Not really a cocktail in a can, more like a cocktail spritzer. It does taste like a light whiskey sour though

Dankwood (2018) Dawson

3 year aged. Super boozy, slight raisin past all the alcohol, a little bitter like orange pith, and pretty musty

Cerise Dawson

Starts out a little tart but quickly develops to more of a sweet maraschino flavor. Definitely tastes like cherries.

Dogfish Head Strawberry And Honeyberry Vodka Lemonade Dawson

Smells like a typical canned cocktail, vaguely sweet and sort of stale spirits. Flavor is refreshing lemon with some sweetener type flavor (must be the honeyberry) and some vodka at the end

120 Minute IPA Dawson

2017 vintage - basically just a hopped barleywine at this point. Date, raisin, caramel, brandy and booziness. Amazing.

Normless Uniformity Dawson

Starts a little bitter then ends with malt, bread, and toffee.

Covered In Nuggs Dawson

Slightly dank, piney, citrusy, and a little sweet on the end. Very well balanced and an excellent evolution of flavor.

Dela-We-Are Dawson

Bitter dark chocolate with a touch of brighter floral hops and finishing with chocolate malt.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) Dawson

Aged 2 years. So sweet and mapley but not too much to handle.

KBS Espresso (2020) Dawson

1 year aged. Overwhelming coffee with a little chocolate, but not quite mocha. Not as boozy or bold a year old.

Kentucky Bourbon Stout (KBS) (2021) Dawson

Some "spicy" notes. Mostly dark(ish) chocolate, caramel, and some light coffee. Drinks pretty light.

All Day Vacay Dawson

Fruity notes on the nose but the flavor is more like a lager with more caramel.

Founders Nitro U.n.i.t.y. Cinnamon Coffee Stout Dawson

Like cinnamon coffee. A ton of chocolate and caramel malts on the end to the point that it's kind if bready. Very smooth.

2 Chainz Dawson

Bitter dark chocolate and some darker hops. Sort of blurs the line between ipa and dark beer rather than marries the two.

Lemondrop IPL Dawson

Very refreshing. Full hop flavor of an ipa with the lightness of a lager. Doesn't stick around on the palette so very good for warm weather.

Hazy IPA Dawson

Mango, tropical, fruit, a little grass, and pine. Hits you up front then hits you again. Pretty developed flavor.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) Dawson

Maple syrup, bourbon/caramel, dark chocolate, coffee, and a bit of sassafras (from aging?). Not too thick of a mouthfeel but still silky smooth.

Más Agave Prickly Pear Dawson

Tastes like a sucker. Very syrupy sweet and a super thick mouthfeel. The fruit is mildly tart but mostly just sweet. Very little typical gose flavors or tequila.

Imperial Stout Dawson

2016 vintage. Absolute money. Vanilla and chocolate fudge notes on the notes. Flavor is thick chocolate, coffee, and light raspberry.

Imperial Stout Dawson

2014 vintage. Umami and soy sauce with chocolate and caramel

4 Giants IPA (2020) Dawson

Dry, bitter, and hoppy. Not as sweet and boozy as some imperials.

Panther Cub (2021) Dawson

Good maple notes on the nose. Flavor is smooth bourbon and a maple syrup finish. A little thin for the mouthfeel but super silky smooth.

Big Luscious (2020) Dawson

Smoke and raspberry on the nose. Flavor is chocolate, coffee, smoke/roasty malts, and raspberries on the end

120 Minute IPA Dawson

2017 vintage. So sweet and boozy. Almost a little like a barleywine but still with a good bit of hops. Good bit of burn on the lips.

Más Agave Premium Hard Seltzer Grapefruit Dawson

Not much flavor. I was expecting a little more kick from the grapefruit.

Más Agave Premium Hard Seltzer Lime Dawson

Basically like a session mas agave cocktail. Tons of agave flavor without being too syrupy. Lime and salt are good and refreshing.

Kvasir Dawson

Pretty tart! Lots of berry flavor with some honey too. Sort of like a mead mixed with a cider....but a beer.

Campfire Amplifier Dawson

Nice darkness for a milk stout. Definitely taste the lactose but no so much of the Graham cracker and cinnamon
