Ginger, Spice, Barreled And Nice King

Warm: I see what they are going for and while I think its good it may be too intense for some. If I was being critical I wish it were a little less boozy barrel aged bite and a bit more sweetness.

KBS Blueberry King

There was a surprising amount of blueberry flavor and aroma. It was a bit of a strange blend for me but if you like blueberries and chocolate or coffee I would recommend this one.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) King

Warm: a very rich chocolatey beer. There is a slight bourbon flavor. However this beer was pretty old, bottled in 2019, so I think it could be much better if it were fresh. Still it is a very sweet very strong chocolate stout.

Mandarin & Mango Crush King

Cold: great aroma and definitely a noticeable mandarin/tangerine/etc. and mango flavor. However this beer is too tart for my liking. Its a mild tart so this would be a good first step into the tart/sour realm. Just not my kind of beer.

Mango Magnifico King

Cold: i think I would have enjoyed this better warm. It is a lot of flavor beginning to end. However I get very little mango. I think the robustness of the high gravity ale overpowers a lot. A mild, too mild for me, heat that builds toward the end.

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter King

Cold: much smoother more balanced cold. There is a strong cherry flavor which I didnt love. I have never had a highball so I cant judge how accurate the flavor is.

Sweet Repute King

Cold: I much prefer this cold. It is almost too sweet when warm and very clear it is a wheat wine, stronger than a barley wine IMO. Cold it is pleasantly sweet and smooth with a nice amount of maple flavor. Definitely worth a try if you like mead too.

KBS King

Warm: a strong rich beer. True to form I do get a lot of coffee and chocolate. I get a touch of oakey flavor but I could use more oak and bourbon barrel. A fresher or colder beer may bring out the lagging flavor. Otherwise great quality.

Shameless Santa King

Warm: this is relatively strong but by no means what I would consider a strong dark ale. This is a Belgian with a present but not overwhelming sweetness and relatively light color. Good for a Belgian but not a strong dark ale.

Jule Malt King

Warm: this is a very strong flavorful beer that would probably be a lot better fresh. It is a bit flat and thus extremely sweet. I think the smoothness and chocolate is there and fresh this would be a lot better.

Rübæus King

Cold: this gives schöfferhofer pomegranate beer a run for their money as my favorite fruit beer I can recall and thats saying something! This beer is sweet mild and has a perfectly balanced raspberry flavor without any tartness. A must try.

Panther Cub (2021) King

Warm: this may be one I have to try cold but the thing about vanilla is a little goes a very very long way and in this case there is too much. Like several other craft beers the vanilla and maple combo overpower even the bourbon strong taste of the beer.

Breakfast Stout King

Cold: a rich bold stout. The is a strong taste of chocolate and coffee flavor which overpowers the oatmeal of the drink, but I prefer that more, your mileage may vary. I wish it were a bit thicker/creamier.

Backwoods Bastard King

Warm: honestly this beer is great either way but I prefer it warm. This is the dirty bastard on steroids. The flavor is rich and deep with a very strong whiskey/bourbon taste. A slightly sweet aroma. Not cheap but worth it IMO. Also 1 is enough.
