I'm a dopplebock, barleywine, Scottish ale, stout, and porter kind of girl. The way to my heart is through a cold bottle

KBS Spicy Chocolate (2023) Hodge

Celebrating my son passing his driver's test. And hoping to alleviate some of this back pain. Initially very strong coffee notes but after continued sipping I can taste more of the spicy dark chocolate.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2022) Hodge

Overwhelmed by notes of coffee that I'm supposed to be duped into thinking is chocolate. After just having CBS, this is somewhat disappointing.

Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout 2023 (Mothership Series) Hodge

Thick dark rich and almost chocolaty but bitter. Almost feels like a porter with slight smokiness. I probably would have never tried this had it not been in the advent calendar pack.

Mothership Series Barrel Aged Blueberry Braggot Hodge

What a nice blueberry beer! Almost sour, but not tart or funky. Slightly bitter and malty. But also fruity and sweet.

Más Agave Hodge

Mine tastes like soap. 😭 After that taste dissipates, I'm left with a lovely sweet margaritaesque fiesta en mi boca. (Took points away this check in for the soap flavor).

Sweet Repute Hodge

Had this before but I don't remember it having chunks in it. Is it supposed to have a little flakes suspended in it? Hmmm. 🤔 Still tastes okay I guess.

The Headless Gourdsman Hodge

Starts out sweet and boozy and then deescalates to a low bourbon essence note. Hard to describe. Spices are muted.

KBS Blueberry Hodge

Very sweet! Blueberries are unmistakeable. Boozy sweetness, coffee notes. maybe too sweet, but definitely worth a taste.

Frootwood (2022) Hodge

Tastes like a hint of sour berry with a malty backbone and infused with a boozy essence. Lightly sweet and highly drinkable. Delightful!

Barrel Aged Peanut Butter Stout (Mothership Series) Hodge

Very little peanut nose to this. Hint of booziness. Taste is thick and dark with boozy bitterness at front with a peanutesque finish. I'm not sure I'd know this was a peanut butter stout if it wasn't on the label. Still good, though. Nice start to Advent.

Nose has a slightly funky sour character to it. Taste is strong bitter blueberry with a sweet/sour lingering flavor that isn't wholly unpleasant.

Green Zebra Watermelon Hodge

I guess this must just taste like the original green zebra? Noticeable watermelon scent and tart sweetness. Great for a walk in the woods on a hot humid summer day.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Hodge

Disappointing. Overly strong coffee with maybe a hint of dark cocoa in it and absolutely no maple flavor that I can discern. Completely lacks sweetness that you would expect for a beer claiming to taste like fudge.

Barrel Runner Hodge

Not sure if this is still good or not. 2018 edition. Tastes to me like a home brew gone amiss. 1st half of the pour was crystal clear. 2nd half completely milky. Kind of weird. Probably wouldn't go out of my way for this.

KBS Hazelnut Hodge

Very strong hazelnut flavour combined with kbs signature booziness. Hazelnut definitely makes this more palateable. One of the better kbs beers.

Super potent! Orange zest imparts bitterness not normally found in barleywine. Very strong bourbon. Barleywine flavour drowns in the booze.
