Craft beer snob and proud of it. Unless it blows me away, I rarely drink anything twice.

KBS McCaskey

I’m really surprised that I never have had the original. Notes of coffee on the nose with a hint of bourbon. Smooth, with lots of coffee, vanilla, and bourbon on the palate. My only regret is not sitting here for an entire hour letting it fully mature.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge McCaskey

Long, unexpected eventful days require big beers to make up the difference. This fit the requirement. The bourbon is so masterfully and subtly masked by the maple and chocolate flavors from the fudge.

Liquid Truth Serum McCaskey

I cannot tell a lie. This is a tasty beer. Beautiful head, golden unfiltered like haze. Chinook-like nose. Hoppy but not numbingly so with a dry finish.

Big and luscious indeed. Seriously rich and thick. Pours with a nice head and great aromatic fruit. First sip might as well have been raspberries dipped in dark chocolate.

Blushing Padre McCaskey

No words. Reminds me a little bit of cherry cough syrup which is NOT a bad thing. Tart raspberry on the nose. Little bite of tequila as it leaves the tongue. Happy Tequila Day!

Pilsner McCaskey

Picked this up in the clearance section. 4yrs old. Not a problem when you’re a hoppy Pilsner. I love the hop bite on the finish. Pairs well with the pool. TGIF!
