Dan F.

Kriek 100% Lambic F.

Tart, juicy cherry sweetness, floral white oak notes, hints of vanilla, light acidity & a lingering Gorgonzola-like aftertaste. Nicely balanced cherry & funk complexity.

Rosé de Gambrinus F.

Nice balance of sweet, tart & funky. Raspberry preserves, tannic drying oak, hints of green apple, Belgian yeast & re wine vinegar.

Bruocsella 1900 Grand Cru F.

Oak, funk, tannic grape must, hints of floral honey & white peach. Flat; zero carbonation. Almost like oak-aged sparkling white grape juice without the sparkle ✨

French Toast Bastard (Barrel Aged Series 2022) F.

All things considered, this beer offers exceptional value for the price point. Nails the French Toast vibe with tons of sticky maple, cinnamon spice & smooth vanilla sweetness with a lingering French Toast Crunch cereal finish. Very subtle barrel though.

Green Zebra F.

Smells like a bag of watermelon flavored gummies. Light, tart, refreshing. Taste is mostly pink watermelon Jolly Rancher followed by a quick burst of puckering tart acidity & a lingering salinity-laced finish. A one-trick pony, but delivers as advertised.

Fou' Foune (2017) F.

Nosing apricot, wet sidewalk & paint thinner. Tart & effervescent. Tasting sour warhead candy tartness, sweet apricot stone fruit notes, wildflower honey, dry oaky tannins, funk, minerals, balsamic vinegar, rubber & hints of Gorgonzola cheese. World-class

Utopias Barrel - Aged World Wide Stout (2021) F.

Tons of dried dark fruit on the nose; plum, prune, raisin & fig with tobacco, leather & a hint of bubblegum. Pretty wild. The palate is like someone flambéed caramel-drizzled raisin bread pudding in cognac: charred sweetness, dry barrel & boozy warmth 4.7

KBS Hazelnut (2022) F.

Inviting nose of earthy roast coffee, hazelnut & dark chocolate. Thin, slightly syrupy. The palate starts off with classic KBS rich chocolate covered espresso notes, followed by bitter roasted hazelnut, hints of earthy oak & subtle bourbon. Not bad at all

Olde School (2011) F.

Fairly oxidized at this point, but still solid. Dried dark fruit, cardboard, caramel, brown sugar, hints of sherry and bitter dark chocolate. Love tapping into the past with olde school beers like this one 😉

Bolt Cutter (2012) F.

Amazing nose on this. Hoppy English-style BW vibes. Still killer for not being barrel-aged. The palate opens with hop-laced bitter caramel sauce, floral honey, biscuity malt notes, caramel and wet leather. Love trying oldies like this that hold up to tine

Velvet Rush F.

Nose carries chocolate-covered marshmallow, graham cracker malt & bitter coffee. Upon first sip, my palate is hit by acidic, slightly sour/burnt coffee grounds, which are overtaken by dry cocoa powder, vanilla extract & heavy-handed bourbon. Unbalanced.

Nemesis (2021) F.

Piney, hoppy, bubblegum fruitiness & caramel on the nose. Silky-smooth body w/ tongue-prickling carbonation. Palate starts w/ sweet caramel malts, transitioning to date, fig & dark sugars. Finish is clean & piney, cutting through the sweetness. Sneaky ABV

Centennial IPA F.

Big malt presence on the nose; grainy and straw-like, with just a hint of piney citrus. Medium body. Tasting very light grapefruit up front, followed by malty sweetness that transitions to an earthy hop finish with a slightly floral orangey citrus note.

World Wide Stout - Bourbon Barrel Aged (2019) F.

Vanilla, toffee, caramel, and charred oak nose. Lighter body and higher carbonation than expected. Baker’s chocolate and ashy char up front, followed by bourbon-soaked dark fruit, tobacco and a touch of molasses and coffee roast. ABV still very noticeable

Panther Cub (2021) F.

Nose is all chocolate and vanilla. Medium-full body and mouthfeel. Palate is chocolate-covered marshmallow. Barrel presence is very minimal, but contributes a slight earthy, smokiness to a chocolate & vanilla porter with maple notes. Solid.

Olde School (2013) F.

Boozy caramel, rum-soaked raisins, toffee, fig, prune; very complex nose. Medium bodied, with little-to-no carbonation. Taste is prune up front, with some date and fig notes. Raisin and burnt caramel round out the palate with a lingering sweetness.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge F.

Huge aromas of freshly roasted coffee, rich fudge - almost like chocolate espresso ice cream. Medium-full thickness. Taste is big coffee up front, w/ a hint of maple sweetness that develops as it sits on the tongue. Dark chocolate & light barrel finish.

Classic Gueuze (2013) F.

Lemongrass, grape must, light vinegar and wine barrel on the nose. Incredibly complex taste profile: floral notes, lemon citrus acidity, vinegar, wine, oak, herbal/grassy notes. Drying, lingering tart bitter finish. Love it.

Big Lushious F.

Very inviting nose of roasted coffee and chocolate malt with just a hint of raspberry. Thick body and mouthfeel. Taste when cold: cloying tootsie roll cough medicine. Better as it warms: creamy, roasty dark cocoa and coffee with bitter raspberry finish.

Punkin Ale F.

Nose is pumpkin, brown sugar, and an off metallic scent. Taste is more pronounced than other pumpkin beers I’ve tried this season; pumpkin-heavy with strong brown sugar notes. Spices take a back seat to the malt and sugar sweetness.

Underground Mountain Brown (2019) F.

Nose of earthy coffee, chocolate, bourbon, vanilla, oak. Smooth mouthfeel, but the body is a bit thin. Tasting notes of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, bourbon, vanilla, sweet malts, and light coconut on the finish. Incredibly complex and balanced.

Classic Gueuze F.

2016 vintage. Wine-like nose reminiscent of grape must and even some olive. Light and well-carbonated. Champagne-like dryness with tasting notes that follow the nose alongside elements of Belgian yeast, funk, vinegar, floral notes, citrus, and biscuit.

French Toast Bastard F.

Ridiculous nose. Smells like French Toast Crunch cereal and the taste mostly follows suite, albeit a little unrefined. Overpowering cinnamon upfront, but a buttery maple taste quickly blends it all together with smooth vanilla sweetness to cap it all off.

Marvelroast F.

Surprised by this one. Marshmallow fluff on the nose. Medium body, smooth/creamy mouthfeel. Light coffee bitterness up front, light chocolate notes that finish with a vanilla sweetness. Honestly tastes and smells like a marshmallow to me. A-

Breakfast Stout F.

In my opinion, as good as it gets in regard to bang for your buck when it comes to accessible, non-BA stouts. Rich, velvety mouthfeel. Bittersweet chocolate on the front end, with roasty/smoky notes on the finish. Solid A

Frangelic Mountain Brown F.

Nut brittle on the nose with a hint of coffee roast and caramel. Medium body with little carbonation. Decent hazelnut sweetness up front reminiscent of Nutella with the malts providing a brown bread quality. Bitter coffee bite on the finish. Solid. B+
