Green Zebra Pineapple S

This is tasty! Great tropical taste but still true to gose style. Starts sweet and finishes with gose tang…yet still some lingering pineapple. On the sweet side for a gose but still in style.

Mortal Bloom Hazy IPA S

Tropical. Medium body. Light haze. Crushable. I get the pineapple tang but also has solid citrus and fruit notes in a non-juicy way.

KBS Spicy Chocolate (2023) S

Super tasty. “Spicy” is uh…an overstatement…but “spicy inspired” is accurate. Smooth. Sweet. Slight punch from spice flavors. Not the hot (jalapeño) Mexican chocolate I expected but better than that in many ways. Great mouthfeel, as expected from KBS.

Backwoods Bastard S

Thick bodied strong ale. Rich, sweet, smooth. Barrel aging adds a good bit of flavor. Semi-easy drinking for the ABV.

Ginger, Spice, Barreled And Nice S

Big ginger flavors with some spice and sweet at the end. Barrel flavors are fairly light. Lots of spice on the nose. A little boozy. More an imperial ginger/spice beer than a barleywine outside the ABV. Doesn’t have the thick malt sweetness of most bw.

Mandarin & Mango Crush S

Tasty. Fruity. Light bodied.

Burton Baton S

Tasty. Great oak nose. Medium body. Not boozy. Interesting. Complex flavors. Friend says it is a aged a couple years but no date on the bottle.

Sweet Repute S

Very tasty and interesting. Barleywine and maple sweetness and strong caramel and butterscotch flavors. Hops and ABV are background. Barrel aging really puts some complexity in it. Great beer!

French Toast Bastard S

Almost pastry stout level sweet. Maltier backbone. Moderate bourbon flavors. Mostly French toast.

4 Giants Hazy IPA S

Maybe it is me but most “hazy” IPAs pretty much taste the same. This 1 falls into that style. It’s good but nothing really distinguishes it from a dozen other hazy IPAs. Boldly citrus, juicy, hoppy to masks the ABV. Good drink. Gets the job done.

Bottle Shop Belgian Twist S

That is a LOT of banana. Heavy Belgian nose. Strong Belgian flavor. Not boozy for the ABV.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) S

Aged. Still smooth, sweet, chocolate, boozy, thick. Maple is there but not dominate.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2018) S

Gifted from a friend. Lighter than I remember and very light in carbonation. Dominated by the bourbon barrel. Thin and a little sweet.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) S

Bottled 14 months ago. Smooth. Rich. Chocolate (fudgy). With barrel accents and finish. The nose is pure fudge. Black as night. Liquid bourbon fudge. Very rich. Coffee is buried in there but you can find it.

Blushing Monk S

Primarily a fruit beer with a Belgian finish. Sweet and fruity with dry, semi-tart finish. Full body.

Velvet Rush S

Tasty. Strong coffee and chocolate with bourbon barrel finish. Smooth and creamy for an imperial brown ale.

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter S

Pretty confusing. I had to remind myself it was beer once or twice. Pretty sweet. Drinks as much like a “[insert some sweet alcohol] and coke” as anything.

Nemesis (2021) S

Very interesting. Smoother than most barley wines but still has the big malt punch. Not as sweet and boozy as many of them are. Bitter hops almost finished like an IPA.

Big Lushious S

Wow. That is a lot of raspberry. With chocolate as a second flavor.
