French Toast Bastard 2023 Sileika
Let's jam. This is wonderful. Old-school Backwoods Bastard meets the diner.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa (2021) Sileika
Had a few sips and thought "perfect, the cinnamon died down a bit." Based on my last comment I am satisfied. Beer cat tax.

Backwoods Bastard (2015) Sileika
Sublimely mellowed out. Still some tobacco and slight peat, but much thinner. Caramel and roasted coffee peak throughout, with a gentle vanilla oak combo.

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio (2017) Sileika
6 years of love. Dried out, like a champagne. Complex with delicate layers with every sip.

Backwoods Bastard (2017) Sileika
The last of the 4 pack. 6 years+ and still excellent. More oak presence as it has been resting and drying out. Toffee is milder, but still there. One of the last 4 pack I bought before we moved to our home 6 years ago!

Founders was always class, and continues to be. The almost-two year matured this beautifully.

Revisting this beer in 1.5 years time really made it shine. Hops are subdued, but relentlessly present.

A HIPA with lots of melon flavors (cantaloupe hits me). A bit edgy, mellowing out as it settles a bit.

Not some Mickey the Mope not for nothin'. Plenty fresh to bombard your face clean off with hops. It's dank, it's fruity, and the resin mixes with more-than-ample malts.

Almost 3 years in and this keeps getting smoother and more rounded. Just a deep, dark, rich beer, with nothing to be pretentious about.

Sublime! Hazelnut has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. Mix in KBS, and this is a win! Thanks to my Bride!

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa Sileika
Lovely stuff! Letting it sit a bit in the basement certainly helped mellow and marry the cinnamon and coffee notes to be more on par with the vanilla and cocoa.

Mas Agave Prickly Pear (2021) Sileika
These are always yummy. A year in the fridge did it no harm.

Utopias Barrel - Aged World Wide Stout (2021) Sileika
Take a knee, lads. This one tickles ya real special. So deep and dark, yet wonderfully fruity. Each sip of roasted malts and coffee is reset with a this exquisite barrel mix.

Almost a hint of smoke from the malts, hitting heavy with roast, toasty notes. This aged well!

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa (2021) Sileika
The base and coffee is this is fantastic! I think a year or two of mellowing will tone down the cinnamon and join this thing in better matrimony.

Espresso and barrel love right here. A bit thin for what it could be, but that is a minor quibble.

Grand Cru Bruocsella Lambic Bio (2015-2016) Sileika
A gem of a beverage. Light and loaded with dried fruit, slight funk, loads of yeast esters. This is a limbic folks.

Like I said, bug fan of this series. The grapefruit is a nice touch of tartness to boost up in the imperialism of the gose. Last night

Más Agave Prickly Pear Sileika
I'm a fan of this series. It's like a beer cocktail, pulling in a great salinity. Plus, prickly pear is an underused flavor that is the shiz! Last night.

Oude Geuze Boon à l'Ancienne - VAT 109 Mono Blend Sileika
Funkalicious definition. Dry and aromatic, loaded with fruit skins and earth. Last night.

This is the OG (the G means Genius, in the words of I've Cube). A pure, unadulatered, resinous, piney... bomb. But it's approachable. The malts stand tall and hold this precipice of pure sexiness.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Sileika
Didn't take a damn picture of the beer, but here is the house after the girls got done with it! Such a solid brew, with loads of mocha goodness. The coffee is exactly how I like it, without the overbrewed Starbucks shittiness.
