Solidly balanced with a slight bitterness in finish counterbalancing the sweeter caramel malt notes endemic to the style.

Was not sure what to expect from this one but it is actually a really nice mix of sweet agave, bitter grapefruit, salt and booze. The agave syrup makes it sweeter than I was expecting but it is welcome and balanced by the other flavours.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2018) Drunk
My last bottle. Has more or less plateaued since my last tasting, with perhaps some further fading of the barrel presence. More chocolate than coffee, but elements of both.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) Drunk
Great to have this again. As always, very well balanced. A little bit muted but may be (in part) a function of being served too cold.

Passed its prime. Still displaying some nice coffee and chocolate notes, but not once it was once fresh.

Nice punch of fresh raspberry with a tart finish. A little bit acidic but not bad.

Still struggling to wrap my taste buds around lambics, although this isn't terrible. There's some nice green apple notes upfront - tart, but refreshing. The back-end gets a little bit over-the-top funky and sour for me, but it's drinkable.
