All Day West Coast McLeaster

Crisp quaffer. It looks really, really pale but it has a bit of malt body.

Breakfast Stout McLeaster

I been neglecting this due to my fondness for KBS. It is my favorite "Double Stout". I think this is the first time I have had the child proof bottle. This one is 5 mo. old.

Incredibly tart raspberry Lambic. Very funky nose, drink, don't sniff. Somewhat rare around here. Thanks to Joe for sharing. Go SDSU.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2022) McLeaster

Not getting a ton of maple but the Mackinac Fudge is spot on. Seems a tad thinner than an earlier model.

Iris (2013) McLeaster

Completely dry and funky. Recollections of seasoned foods. An unusually dry, tart, woody Lambic. Thanks Oliver C.

I just bought a bunch of hazelnuts in Seattle. Founders knows how to express a flavor in a beer with impeccable accuracy.

KBS Espresso McLeaster

Finally! I kept missing this beer. Very intense Espresso flavor on top of the regular KBS. I love coffee forward beers and expected to like this better than the OG. Awesome, but The original KBS is my favorite.
