Utopias Barrel-Aged 120 Minute IPA (2023) Thayer

The Utopias barrel shines through with caramel, brown sugar, vanilla as well as the bold 120 Minute flavor I come to expect bold hops, sickly sweet. Incredibly bold yet smooth

Japanese Rice Lager Thayer

Crisp, clean, pale, hoppy, lingering bitterness aftertaste

120 Minute IPA (2011) Thayer

Reached ten years of bottle maturity last month on the 19th, I'm a little late to its birthday party. Smells more malty, caramel, toffee, faint hops, no sign of them, sickly sweet barley, muted hops on the taste. Transformed from a triple IPA > barleywine

60 Minute IPA Thayer

Hoppy pine aroma, quite soft, somewhat malty, slight astringency

Blushing Monk (2020) Thayer

A very Belgian forward framboise compared to the other Blushing Monks, I feel it takes time to develop. As it is it is bready, with a raspberry fruit forwardness

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) Thayer

Roasty coffee, a fudge like chocolate, slight maple, dark bitter malt, robust, and semisweet; full mouth feel

Big Luscious (2020) Thayer

Raspberry and dark, roasty chocolate, tart, sweet. Basically dark chocolate covered raspberry or truffles.

Rye Barrel-Aged 120 Minute IPA (2020) Thayer

Caramel, hoppy rye nose, very sweet, slight barely noticeable burn, slightly bitter, toffee, dried fruit

120 Minute IPA (2015) Thayer

Barleywine like qualities in the nose, those sickly sweet notes starting to develop into sherry like aroma, berry, still a little hoppiness but has died considerably, slight pine, boozy as all hell, starting to develop some floral lavender and juniper
