Lizard of Koz V

We'll, this is the 6 year, BA version on tap. Better than the original IMO. Not as much NyQuil. Definitely a sipper.

Centennial IPA V

Low price, Centennial hop piney bite, less malt than it used too have (IMO). Bargain.

Way different from the Hazacca I had in July. More of a traditional IPA, less haze. More like the old Azacca.

2016 likely the last time I've had this. A shame, since it's very good. Scotch Ale like, but probably more hops than standard. Creamy. Very good.

Mothership Series Barrel Aged Nemesis V

Obviously not a Stout as Untappd says. Bottled 1/20/22. Hops pretty much gone. Basically a barrel aged Old Ale. Caramel, dark fruit, prune with some bitterness in the finish. Tastes pretty much like every other barrel aged Old Ale.
