120 Minute IPA (2024) S

Imperial Stout (2014) S

KBS Spicy Chocolate S

Remember the days when KBS was special? Yeah, I miss those too.

Red's Rye IPA S

Snowbound Vanilla Porter S

Mango Magnifico S

This has aged incredibly well. The mango is still on point and the trailing heat is wonderful.

4 Giants Hazy IPA S

KBS Espresso (2021) S

This is going to sound strange coming from the coffee addict, but a tad too much coffee. I wonder if it was different 2 years ago when it was fresh? More well balanced?

Blushing Padre (2020) S

This is fantastic. The berry on the front end is wonderful and all blushing monk. The back end is all tequila barrel and amazing.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) S

Still delicious

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2018) S

Sunset and a well aged KBS

Devil Dancer (2015) S

First beer in the new house! I dug deep into the collection for this baby. Slightly more on the malt and of course less hops but still complex, delicious. As usual, fantastic.

Más Agave Grapefruit S

Mango Magnifico (2022) S

Still slightly sweet on the front end and fiery on the finish.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa (2021) S

Overly cinnamon and super thin.

Mandarin & Mango Crush S

Rather underwhelming. I get the orange but it is just stomped on by bitterness that really muddled the flavors rather than accents them.

Bottle Shop Series Mango Magnifico S

Great mango sweetness and a lingering heat from the habanero. Malty and boozy through and through.

Breakfast Stout (2015) S

Slow cooking the stew for a lazy New Year’s Day. Half of the stout in for the liquid to start it. 1/4 for me. 1/4 to finish the stew later

Nemesis (2021) S

More bitter than boozy, and not hoppy, just bitter. A tad disappointing. But that seems to be Founders for the last 3-4 years.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa S

Cinnamon barely gets time to register before bitter burnt flavors overwhelm everything. This is not a good beer.

Más Agave Prickly Pear S

Más Agave Grapefruit (2020) S

Ages well. Has a nice initial bite to it still with a smooth mellow finish and a little tangy spike at the finish. Good on a hot day.

Panther Cub (2021) S

Más Agave Prickly Pear S

Very sweet up front with a nice light sour on the back end.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) S

Still no maple to speak of. Very sweet and disappointing. The sap from the sugar maples boiling in the background has more maple notes than the beer.

Panther Cub (2021) S

A little bitter but great vanilla hit and a smooth silky maple roasty middle through the finish.

Más Agave Grapefruit S

Breakfast Stout (2015) S

Giving my lazy beef stew an aged upgrade from the cellar.

Unraveled IPA S

A nice hop forward beer with subtle sweetness on it. A nice 11pm beer

Frangelic Mountain Brown S

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge S

I get the chocolate fudginess, but no barrel, no maple, mostly burnt malt. It is ok at best. Maybe if it warms up a bit but I don’t know what will cut the burnt flavor.

Breakfast Stout (2015) S

Most of it in the stew and only a taste for the chef. I need to make smaller stews to drink more of the beer.

Marvelroast (2020) S

Great vanilla hit up front with nice roasty coffee tones and light chocolate hints to finish. Great mouth feel too.

Imperial Stout (2016) S

Still deliciously dark and roasty.

Underground Mountain Brown (2019) S

Más Agave (2019) S

Curmudgeon’s Better Half (2018) S

Más Agave Grapefruit S

Marvelroast S

Normally not a golden ale fan but the coffee and cocoa makes this really tasty.

Red's Rye IPA S
