Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2023) Duke
Hm? I hope it was just my beer and not the whole batch; didn’t taste as sweet as it used to taste. More of the bourbon taste is shining though compared to past years.

Oude Schaarbeekse Kriek Millésime Duke
I really liked it. The cherry flavor was mildly tart with a hint of dryness.

Cold thoughts: really enjoyed the taste. The coffee flavor was there, but lighter compared to others. I would have preferred it a notch higher/stronger because I love coffee in beer. They used a good roast for it,

Wake Up World Wide Stout (2022) Duke
Warm thoughts: it was still good, but I like this better cold. It didn’t taste too boozy at first, but it definitely snuck up on me and got me in the end.

Huh, didn’t taste like a wheat. Definitely picked up maple. I enjoyed it. Felt mild and low ABV even though I know it’s probably higher.

I wondered why it tasted like no marzen I’ve had. Aged. It was interesting in a good way.

Really like this year’s version. Would love to have a whole bottle.

Forgot to log my warm reactions. More bitterness and coffee notes.

I cracked this open after reading online some flavor may be lost in the aging process. Just over 4 years old. Happy to report the flavor is still there. Maple sweetness on the front, bitter chocolate at the end. Still delicious! (Cold taste)

It’s been awhile since I’ve had one and nearly forgot how it tastes. Man, unreal.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa (2021) Duke
This was one of the worst of the series I’ve had. Just fell flat in the flavor department for me. Very muted. For a BB stout, it was good; it’s just they have much more enjoyable KBS ones.

Had to because it’s rare I get to try this on draft. The coffee notes are shining nicely tonight

When it’s been a hard day you stop at the local coffee for a coffee AND a beer. So glad they have this on draft.

Holy shit it’s back! I loooove this beer and haven’t had it in so long. Cherry with an oaky and slightly sweet maple taste. Just fantastic. Raising that rating.

This was good. The cinnamon and chocolate notes were mild but noticeable.

Smooth. Definitely a brown ale with some sweeter notes towards the end.

Idk if the year counts, but I’ll give it a shot. Kinda spicy on the front of it. Solid cold or room temp.

Pretty enjoyable. I’d have to try again to see how much I enjoy

I didn’t dislike it, but it didn’t knock my socks off either. Pretty straightforward porter flavor profile without any highlights. It’s not bad if you want a drinkable, boozy Porter, but if you’re wanting something special look elsewhere.

Second time. Yeah, I’m fine never drinking this again. By the end, you just want it to be over.

Second time with this. Maple are first then coffee the further down you get. I wish it was more balanced.

When this beer is cold it’s great. Perfect raspberry to chocolate ratio without being too sweet. However, more overpowering when warmer. Like, the fruit flavor doesn’t work then.

I had this too long ago to remember exactly. Maple for sure. Chocolate was there but seemed light. Might update rating the next time I have it.

I was really looking forward to this and letdown. There’s almost no cream taste, and there’s a spice in this that almost makes it taste like black licorice.

Darker and boozier than I thought it would be after aging 3 years. Reminded of Goose Island BB in a way.

Medium roast coffee with chocolate and vanilla, milky sweetness. Tasty!

Very good! Tart, sweet, and salty all in one. The grapefruit wasn’t overwhelming at all. Excellent!

Lost some sweetness over the nearly 10 months of aging. Not bad, but I miss the maple taste.
