KBS Spicy Chocolate (2023)

Just a bit of spicy heat.

Mortal Bloom

Solid juicy IPA.

Irish Creme Porter

Advent calendar #23. Smooth and a bit nutty.

Devil Dancer (2023)

Advent calendar #24 is one of my favorite TIPA's. Happy New Tear to all my fellow enthusiasts.

Mango Magnifico (2022)

Advent calendar #22. Mango and 🌶.

French Toast Bastard 2023

Advent calendar #21. It's good but overly sweet.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2022)

Advent calendar #20. Sorry, I was out of town so I'm behind.

Belgian Twist

FLN. Advent calendar #18.

Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout 2023 (Mothership Series)

Advent calendar #16. Dark and chewy with great mouth feel. The chocolate is like a good fudge brownie.

Más Agave Clásica Grapefruit (2022)

Advent calendar #14.

The Cranfather

Advent calendar #13. Alcohol is very subtle, but cranberry is not.

Mothership Series Barrel Aged Blueberry Braggot

Advent calendar #12.

Mas Agave Clasica Lime (2022)

Advent calendar #11. Still a tasty beer.

KBS Hazelnut (2022)

Advent calendar #9. Hazelnut is still prominent, but I think it's mellowing.

Backwoods Bastard (2022)

Advent calendar #8. It's actually 2023, but this is the closest year.

Sweet Repute (2022)

Advent calendar #7.

Kbs (2023)

Advent calendar #6. Is it my imagination, or is 2023 KBS and the variants more coffee forward this year? It's still great.

KBS Chocolate Cherry (2022)

Advent calendar Day #5. Cherry and chocolate. Yes, please.

The Headless Gourdsman

Advent calendar #4. As pumpkin beers, it's one of my favorites.

KBS Blueberry

Advent calendar Day #3 brings heavy blueberry with a chocolate finish. Celebrating the Lions being 9-3 for the first time since 1962.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2023)

Big maple and coffee on this one. Go Blue!

Barrel Aged Peanut Butter Stout (Mothership Series)

Beer #1 of the advent calendar. Nice BA start to the month. The peanut butter is up front with a nice chewy chocolate finish.

The Headless Gourdsman 2023

Perfect brunch beer.

60 Minute IPA (2023)

It's always a standard for IPA's.

Beer Geek Breakfast

Very coffee heavy in a good way.

4 Giants Starcatcher Haze

Hop bite on the front end.

KBS Blueberry

I'm surprised by the low ratings. Maybe the expectation was a sweetness upfront from the blueberries, but I like it's more bitterness.

All Day West Coast

Clean and piney.

All Day Haze

Nice variant. Has the bitterness but still plenty of flavor. Nice summer beer.

All Day Crimson Sky

It's not as good as Reds Rye but a decent low ABV beer.

Chocolate Cherry KBS

Sometimes, you just need a good BA stout without a lot of adjuncts.

90 Minute Imperial IPA (2023)

Happy birthday to me. Tall beer requires a tall glass. A classic choice.

KBS Hazelnut

3rd from the left. Heavy cocoa on the nose. I'm surprised I haven't had this variant before but maybe I just forgot to check it in.

Tropical 4 Giants Hazy

Far left. Tastes like juicy fruit.

4 Giants Tropical Treasure

Very tropical and bordering on too sweet.

Plays Well IPA

Can't beat $3 pints. Reminds me of a souped up All Day.

French Toast Bastard (Barrel Aged Series 2022)

After quarter life it's a bit underwhelming but still tasty.

QUARTER LIFE CRISIS - FOUNDERS 25TH ANNIVERSARY BEER

Maple, chocolate, vanilla and whiskey. What a great combo.

THING #1 IPA

It's 7% according to the tap room. It's a bit less flavorful than the Hazacca.

Hazacca IPA

Light bitterness and a bit of a dry finish

Home Front Ipa

Two of the C's and interestingly aged on maple baseball bats.

Tropical Stout

Had to try it based on the description. A semi-sweet summertime stout with a sultry tropical side: citrus, orange peel, pineapple, and milk chocolate.

All Day Chill Day

A cold version of All Day. Adds a bit of crispness to the flavor.

Git Yer Ball

The bubblegum adds an interesting twist.

Utopias Barrel - Aged World Wide Stout (2021)

One of the few beers I've had in awhile that exceeds it's price point. So good on so many levels and the ABV takes a backseat to the flavor which changes each sip.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa

You can't go wrong with KBS as a base beer but I think the cinnamon could be toned down a bit. It seems to overwhelm the flavor but I'm nitpicking.

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter

A said it was worthy of getting a 4 pk.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2018)

$5 bottles hard to refuse.

Brick N’ Mortar Smoked Porter

Definitely worth a $3 pint. Nice and smokey. My son tasted bacon but he just had CBS so there's that.

Game of Thrones - Iron Anniversary IPA

Solid NEIPA.

All Day Vacay

Great summer beer choice.

Más Agave Premium Hard Seltzer Strawberry

Actually one of the better seltzers to me from Founders.

Más Agave Prickly Pear

I thought it was a bit too tart at first but sweeter the more I drank. The wife tried it and thought it was too sweet.

Thing #2 IPA

I'm a sucker for $3 pints. Not sure of the hops but it tastes a bit like Centennial.

Maple Barrel Aged Frangelic Mountain Brown

A winner with me and the wife. Bourbon and maple in a brown ale.

Fuzzy Stephanie

I liked it more than the wife. Probably because she saw that it was a mash of Here and IPA.

Nitro U.N.I.T.Y. Mint Mocha Stout

Surprised by the low ratings. It's a bit thin but I get the Andes mint in the flavor.

Fuzzy Stephanie

The wife enjoyed this one. Prominent apricot aroma and flavor. Her rating.

B.A. Black Rye

I'm really enjoying this one. Subtle blend of hops and bourbon.

B.A. DISSENTER IPL

Far left. More bourbon than lager.

Más Agave Premium Hard Seltzer Lime

The wife's flight. I think you can figure out which is the seltzer. Definitely not my thing, or the wife's. I'll withhold a rating.

Panther Cub (2021)

Creamy like a Nitro. Pure pancake like CBS without the bacon.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020)

So good. Some serious fudge right here.

Curmudgeon's Better Half Deep Cut 2020

FLN.

Hearty Soul BA Barley Wine

Prefer a more traditional English style but getting some toffee with some hoppiness on the finish. Boozy and warm.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2018)

Definitely enjoying the aged versions of the beers more than current ones. Bourbon fades and all flavors start to shine.

Black Is Beautiful

Peanut butter is there but would have preferred a creamier mouth feel. Heavy roast coming through.

Underground Mountain Brown (2019)

This is turning into one of my favorite Founders beers.

Breakfast Stout (2020)

Breakfast for dinner. Sharing with my son.

Backwoods Bastard (2020)

A bit of smoke and a lot of bourbon.

Underground Mountain Brown (2020)

From 12/2. Don't know how I missed this one. Bottle share with my son.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2019)

Bottled 02/15/19. The almost two years has mellowed the bourbon and really accentuates the cocoa. This beer definitely ages well.

Más Agave Grapefruit (2020)

I still prefer the original but I'm not a big grapefruit lover.

Nitro CBS (2019)

Perfect brunch beer.

Harvest Ale (2020)

This tastes a bit different then previous versions. I get more melon and it tastes almost like a milkshake IPA.🤔

Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout (2020)

FLN. Oh baby this is my kind of stout.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge

Sorry too lazy to take another pic. Must say that the second time around I appreciate the fudge over bourbon. Another amazing variant with some serious fudge.

KBS Espresso

Love this beer.

Devil Dancer

Had to get this since they have it on tap.

Curmudgeon's Better Half

Needed some higher octane. Still sweet and boozy.

Blushing Padre

From Saturday evening. A bit sweeter than be I like but it is a fruit beer. Strong raspberry flavor and alcohol well hidden.

Mosaic Promise

Here's to IPA day.

Cerise

Bought this for the wife but had to try it. An enjoyable summer beer with beautiful cherry flavor and just a slight tart finish.
