Mortal Bloom Smith

This is great off tap with some February sunshine peeking through.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) Smith

Holding up well.

Sweet Repute (2022) Smith

Wow, how I’ve missed this. Definitely one of my all time favs.

Chocolate Cherry KBS Smith

The frequency of KBS variant releases is starting to feel like that of dragon’s milk. Up next, KBS snickerdoodle.

French Toast Bastard Smith

2022 release. Last time I had this was as part of the mothership series. Just as good as I remember.

120 Minute Ipa (2022) Smith

Love Hoppy Holidays.

120 Minute Ipa (2022) Smith

😳. Glad to have experienced this.

Fri-YAY palette pleaser.

Curmudgeon's Better Half Smith

My oh my has it aged so well.

Curmudgeon's Better Half Smith

This has held up unbelievably well. Very little separation.

Belgian Twist Smith

Best of the bottle shop series yet. It’s really well balanced and not over done. Nice work.

120 Minute IPA Smith

Well, gol dang. First time having this and it is TERRIFIC. So tasty. The color and consistency of the composition is an art in itself.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2015) Smith

Once I was 7 years old. It’s pancake flat. So nice of my buddy to donate an 8 year vertical to me without the understanding that this was never going to make it over nearly a decade of hoarding. Give it a 3.5 based on year alone.

Frootwood (2021) Smith

Really liked this the first time around… Glad they brought it back.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) Smith

4th quarter beer. Make the push Blue cuz it’s stout season.

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter Smith

Now, how bout this! Here’s what I expect from one of my favorite local places to consume beverages from.

Más Agave Prickly Pear Smith

Finally able to track it down in Newaygo County. It’s got a beautiful scent but isn’t too far removed from the taste of the grapefruit variant. Definitely good though and always love me some founders on water.

KBS Espresso (2020) Smith

Another year of the beautifully done variant and it is oh so silky smooth. This is a must try variant of the infamous and at one point elusive KBS.

Panther Cub (2021) Smith

Had to try this in celebration of U of M Basketball’s big road win today. This team is legit. Love this beer.

French Toast Bastard Smith

So much for dry January...guess there’s always next year!

French Toast Bastard Smith

Aging quite well.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Smith

Whoa! This variant is spot on. I can see quite a few bottles of this cellared in my basement.

Underground Mountain Brown Smith

An interesting flavor. So different from the base beer that I really enjoyed.

Marvelroast Smith

Um, yes! This is very well done. Now that’s my kinda coffee.
