Snowbound Vanilla Porter S

Deep roast, char, vanilla, coffee bitterness and super dry finish. Quite nice.

The Cranfather S

Malt forward, cranberries, light citrus, bright cherries and light barrel. There’s a good amount of booze and some vanilla. Nice.

KBS Blueberry S

Odd one. Some tartness, some roast, blueberry, light coffee and finishes tart. Interesting.

Chocolate Cherry KBS S

Roast, char, oak, nibs, coffee and mainly going with KBS flavors, but then the cherry is pretty strong on the finish. Very solid.

Sweet Repute S

Big, bold and boozy. Massive malt, caramel, maple, oak, bourbon and very woody finish. Even with the maple and huge malt, the beer is quite dry. Nice one.

French Toast Bastard S

Hmm, how to score? They aren't lying, it tastes like French toast and nails it, but sweet for my tastes. Maple is biggest thing here with minor cinnamon and vanilla. Bummed I don't taste much of base I love, adjuncts shine.

Ultimate Oktoberfest S

Oh yeah, I like this. Caramel, bread, smooth, bourbon, oak and slick. While the nuance of traditional oktoberfest isn't there s much, the big bold flavors here are all great. Love this one.

Belgian Twist S

Caramel, banana, smooth abbey yeast, mild sweetness and light fruitiness. Very well done.

90 Minute Imperial IPA S

Beer I love to get when fresh, and new packaging guarantees it. Love having the malt being balanced with the hops with a richness offsetting the floral hops. Old school, but still tastes great.

Where the Wild Hops Are S

Nice and balanced IPA that not really PWN or NE. Lightly rich malt and some fruity hops, touch of bread and lingering bitterness. Feels to me like a mix between English and west coast IPAs with a hip flavor all its own.

KBS Hazelnut S

Nice. May be my fave of variants. Lots of hazelnut, roasted malt, cocoa nibs, hints of vanilla and a little bit of barrel.

4 Giants IPA S

Big west coast style. Lots of pine, floral and grapefruit hops and big malt balance. Hop resin lingers. Solid

Oktoberfest S

Crusty bread, floral/ herbal hops, grass, caramel and smoothness from lagering along with crispness from hops. Nicely done. Makes it feel like fall on the first mild STL day in a long time.

Kriek 100% Lambic S

2006 vintage. Dull cherry, heavy funk, light blue cheese, some oak, mild tartness and think the aging took off some of the sharp edges. Really enjoyed.

KBS S

Dark chocolate, mild coffee, oak, char, earth and lingering heat. Nice.

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter S

Sweet, boozy, orange, bourbon and caramel. It's gimmicky and adjunct, but still think it's pretty tasty and well done.

Panther Cub S

Sweet than I'd like, but still enjoyable. Lots of vanilla, some barrel and char at end.

KBS Espresso (2020) S

Fresh this was easily above 4, but while the coffee is still heavy on the nose, three months in it's fallen off the taste a lot. Solid, but falls under drink as fresh as possible category even if it is an imperial stout
