Marshall Mead

Mortal Bloom Mead

Easy drinking juicy ipa with a nice amount of citrus and peach flavor. Nothing crazy but it’s one of founders better ipa offerings.

Curmudgeon's Better Half Mead

Consider it a late birthday gift, one of my favorite beers ever. Happy to find it on draft and it’s just as amazing as always. The maple barrel is top notch as always.

KBS Spicy Chocolate Mead

Mexican chocolate beer done right. Tons of coffee and sweet chocolate with a subtle amount of pepper flavor. Has a nice barrel presence as well. Doesn’t have a lot of spice to it but overall tastes excellent.

Double Oaked KBS Mead

The oak adds another dimension to the beer that makes it next level. Takes a little bit of the sweetness out of the regular kbs but I personally like it. Wish KBS tasted like this lately.

Fruit Cup Gose Mead

Very fruity and sweet for a gose but it tastes great regardless. Could use a little more salinity to balance out the sweetness but it’s overall very enjoyable.

4 Giants Starcatcher Haze Mead

Not the biggest Greta Van Fleet fan but kudos to them for getting founders to make a good hazy. Straight up citrus juice with quite a bit of hoppy bite. Not too sweet which is nice.

KBS Blueberry Mead

Very surprised with how good this is. Natural tart blueberry flavor with everything you love about KBS. The nose on this is insanely pleasant and the meld between the coffee and blueberry is amazing. Probably my favorite KBS variant to date.

Jambassador Mead

Light blueberry notes with a decent amount of ginger. A little too sweet for me but it’s not bad at all.

BA Blueberry Braggot Mead

Very sweet blueberry and honey notes with a subtle amount of bourbon barrel. Wish the barrel had more presence to cut back the sweetness in a way. Very smooth for almost 13%.

Irish Cream Porter Mead

One of, if not, the best porters I’ve ever had. The coffee notes in this is insanely good. Perfect balance between roasty and sweet coffee along with how good the base founders porter is. Hope they bottle this because I’d buy a case of it.

Porter Mead

Classic, chocolatey and delicious.

Beer Geek Cocoa Shake Mead

Liquid coco puffs in a glass. Bold milk chocolate flavor with tons of vanilla as well. Heavy bodied and you can feel the booze in this.

Breakfast Stout Mead

It’s been three years since I’ve had this and it’s still fantastic. Cheers to the brew that got me into craft beer 🍻

Frootwood Mead

First bonfire of the year at my place!

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter Mead

Last bottle of this and I’m still loving it. Roasty brown with tons of orange and sweet cherry. A little bit of vanilla on the finish too. Crazy smooth for the abv.

Call Your Mom Mead

Very maple forward with a nice amount of cinnamon to balance out the sweetness. Nails the cinnamon roll flavor fairly well.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2018) Mead

Still have my secret KBS stash goin. 2018s drinking well, tons of chocolate and coffee. The bourbon is very subtle but not completely gone yet.

Frootwood (2022) Mead

A beer of subtleties. All of the subtle amounts of bourbon, barrel, cherry and maple syrup add up to a great beer. Glad that founders made even more of this.

Nitro Breakfast Stout Mead

My gateway into craft beer on nitro. Cant go wrong.

Cactus Waffle Tripel Mead

Good trippel! Hits all the notes for a good Belgian with an added sweetness from the agave. Does not taste 10% at all.

Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout (2020) Mead

Breaking this out like last NYE. The barrel heat has mellowed a lot and you get more of the malt and chocolate because of it. The barrel is very prominent and delicious. Very thick and chewy. Happy to end this shitshow of a year with this.

Blushing Claus Mead

A more complex version of Blushing Padre. It’s all tequila and raspberry yet the cranberry and orange is subtle but adds a lot. Incredible stuff!

B.A. Black Biscuit Mead

Chocolate chip pancakes drizzled in maple syrup. Absolutely fantastic stuff. Insane barrel characteristics as well.

Imperial Stout (2019) Mead

Malty liquid velvet 😍

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) Mead

A sweeter variant of KBS. Coffee and fudgy chocolate forward with a slight tinge of vanilla and bourbon on the finish.

Curmudgeon’s Better Half (2018) Mead

Still my favorite beer ever but can’t lie and say that age isn’t helping it out. The bourbon and maple is almost gone but the molasses and caramel is still there. Still ridiculously easy drinking and smooth.

World Wide Stout - Bourbon Barrel Aged (2019) Mead

Broke in a special bottle for getting the new job. So damn smooth with plenty of bourbon barrel.

Velvet Rush Mead

Starbucks latte in beer form. Tons of sweetness from the vanilla and lactose. Great coffee flavor and a subtle barrel presence.

Underground Mountain Brown (2020) Mead

I wish my morning coffee tasted like this every morning...

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter Mead

Absolutely an old fashioned in beer form. Sweet cherries, tart orange and plenty of bourbon barrel characteristics. Finishes sweet and smooth. Incredibly smooth drinking as well.

Green Zebra Mead

Found my green zebra finally. All is good in the world.

Bees In the Peach Trees Braggot Mead

Prefer this over the blueberry braggot. The peaches and vanilla complement eachother well and the cinnamon adds a great touch.

Porter Mead

Classic velvety smooth porter. All the dark chocolate and roasted malt you could want. Still slightly prefer Bells porter but this is still great.

Curmudgeon Old Ale Mead

That malty, molasses, dark fruit good good. Makes me want to break out a better half.

Blueberry Braggot Mead

Not getting the mead aspect of this outside of tons of sweetness. There’s tons of tart enjoyable blueberry flavor in this with a sizable malt backbone. Reminds me a bit of a sweeter/thicker double soft parade.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2017) Mead

2017 bottle of KBS for 5.50? Sign me the fuck up. Definitely on its last legs. The coffee is VERY subtle along with the barrel, the chocolate is dominant. Very tasty still.

Barrel Aged Quad Pro Quo Mead

Sugared dates and prunes with a dash of vanilla. You definitely can feel the 13% in this so it’s definitely a sipper. Pretty much dessert in a glass.

Founders Old Fashioned Barley Wine Mead

The cherry and orange are the stars here. Full sweetness from the cherry and tartness from the orange. The barrel is very minimal, you get more heat from it than flavor.

Nitro U.N.I.T.Y Cinnamon Coffee Stout Mead

Heavy cinnamon presence that’s enjoyable and not overwhelming. The roasty coffee is there balance out the sweetness. Very nice.

Nitro Rübæus Mead

Dessert, that is all.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2018) Mead

Found the perfect age for KBS. The coffee, chocolate and bourbon all are balanced and prominent perfectly.

Más Agave Grapefruit (2020) Mead

So damn good. I’ll never get tired of these.

Maple Barrel Aged Frangelic Mountain Brown Mead

Hazelnut coffee goodness with a soft tinge of maple. Not much bourbon. Definitely solid!

Campfire Amplifier Mead

Very sweet. Getting tons of graham cracker and dark chocolate in this.

Frootwood Mead

Finally get to try one of my white whale beers and was not disappointed! Sweet cherry that’s complemented well by the subtle bourbon barrel and maple. The bourbon and maple aren’t super prominent but they are there enough to elevate the beer.

Nitro CBS (2019) Mead

My dessert for the night. Glad I don’t have to drive out of town for CBS on draft.

Mas Agave (2020) Mead

Love this beer to death and back. Could have it hooked to me VIA IV and I wouldn’t complain. Quickly became one of my favorites.

Detroit Double IPA Mead

Hoppy citrus with tons of malt on the back end. Very well balanced, wished I bought a pack of this when it was around.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Mead

Fudgy chocolate and tons of coffee. Subtle bourbon presence and not getting any maple. Tastes like a sweeter KBS honestly, which isn’t a bad thing.

Nitro Rübæus Mead

Cant think of a better Michigan beer to have on nitro.

Founders Ole Mashin' Mead

Cerise aged in oak chips and orange peel. Probably one of the more unique beers I’ve had. Fairly sweet with tons of orange peels and a bit of woody taste. Very good but could only have one.

Curmudgeon’s Better Half (2018) Mead

More like Marshall’s Better Half cuz damn I can’t live without this beer ❤️

Blushing Padre Mead

God I need to find more beers like this. One of my favorites to come out this year! Tart raspberry and a subtle tequila kick.

Más Agave Mead

Kicking the keg so I can have some blushing padre 🤙

Más Agave Mead

Still an incredibly fun beer.

Green Zebra Mead

Even better on draft. Probably my go to crushable summer beer.

Blushing Padre Mead

Tequila barrel aged Blushing Monk? Sign me the fuck up! Tastes like the original with a warmer finish. The tequila is more subtle than what you’d get out of Mas Agave. Good choice for my 500 beer on here!
