Más Agave Clásica Grapefruit (2022)

One of my last grapefruits, bottled on 03/25/2022. Tart, sour, and so good. Great as it warmed, didn’t want it to end.

60 Minute IPA

Wow! Been a long time since checking in one of these. It faired better than the Bear Chase. Got this after I was served another “IPA” that was definitely a lager. I miss the PNW, land of awesome beer.

Sweet Repute

A barrel-aged wheat wine ale?! Never heard of it before. Nice and sweet, mellow, and better as it warmed. Recommended. From April 29th.

These must be good luck. 20+ years since their last Stanley Cup victory, the Avs pulled it out in Game 6 vs. the Tampa Bay Lightning. So great. Happy for the players and organization. 😁🥅🏒

Four Giants And the Haze of Destiny

Forgot about this one from last week. Solid imperial hazy. Tasted nice. I liked the original version of the Four Giants, so I wasn’t surprised that this was good. Another beat down by the Avs in game 2. Frankieeeee!

Had two of these last night while catching up on the Avs game 6 win from last Friday. Bring on the Oilers. These are great sippers. Bottled on March 25, 2022.

Más Agave

Bottled on March 22, 2022, this year’s version seemed a little more thin than in the past. Maybe it needs to sit a bit longer. I got a couple of 4-packs of this the other day, so we’ll see. Taste is still fantastic, however.

Kentucky Bourbon Stout (KBS) (2021)

From a couple nights back. I’ve had a few of these over the last couple months that I haven’t checked in. This one tasted great. Probably, because it was the last of my stash. 😩

Más Agave Grapefruit

Just finished the last one of my stash earlier this week. These are great sipper’s as they warm up. This one was bottled almost a year ago. It still tasted great. Looking forward to grabbing some more this year.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa (2021)

Sooo, I’ve had quite a few of these now that I haven’t checked in. Until tonight, they’ve been fine. Tasted better tonight. Still a bit bitter with pronounced cinnamon. Maybe getting better with age. This was bottled in Sept. 2021. Nice Zags Win tonight!

Kentucky Bourbon Stout (KBS) (2021)

Evening topper this evening. Just a bit too bitter. I’d prefer it to be a bit sweeter. Bottled on 6/11/21.

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter

This was interesting. Almost tasted like bubblegum at first taste. As it warmed up it got better, but it tasted like Founders just mixed a bunch of their barrel-aged beers together to make one beer. Got this at the North Seattle Total Wine, not Lynnwood.

4 Giants IPA

I know I’ve had this before! Maddening! Either way, this is good, but I’ve been spoiled by Founders other offerings. From a couple nights back.

Curmudgeon's Better Half

I’m so behind on checkins, it’s a bit ridiculous, kind of like Belicheck’s kid’s faces during Sunday night football. This was great. Sweet sipper.

Holy smokes! I had this on Monday. I was worried about it being heavy on the grapefruit, but I was pleasantly surprised. Another great sipper.

This was definitely sweet at first, BUT this was still really nice. I agree JV and JS that this isn’t as good as the original, but I liked it. Thanks JV for this one.

Trying to do better on the timeliness of my checkins. This was from last night. I’ve been enjoying these lately. Got to let them warm up a bit for that smoky, vanilla flavor to come through.

Marvelroast (2020)

From March 2nd after hanging with quatro. Bought this back in Spokane this past summer. Finally felt like a good night to try it. Kind of creamy with subtleties of vanilla and coffee. I liked it, but it’d be weird to drink more than one of these at a time

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2019)

Bottled on Feb. 5,2019. Consumed on Dec. 24,2020. This stout is okay. A bit stronger on the coffee taste this time around. Enjoyed Silver City’s BBAged Old Scrooge barleywine more than this one.

Siracusa Nera (2018)

From two nights back. Bottled in September 2018, this was different. Syrah-grape “must” added. You could taste the wine-like flavor. You’d think blending wine and a barrel-aged stout would be great, but I wasn’t overly impressed.
