Bastion Crider

Sweet Repute (2013) Crider

Fruity, malty.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2019) Crider

Good flavors but was this year’s vintage a little thin?

Backwoods Bastard (2022) Crider

Solid and complex.

KBS Hazelnut (2022) Crider

Great hazelnut flavor. Stout’s a little raw, but still smooth. Very nice beer.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Crider

A little crisp, a little boozy on the finish. The nose is overwhelming sweet and intense. Delicious. Would love to try it aged about a year.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) Crider

Ales For ALS (2022) Crider

Backwoods Bastard Crider

The finish will improve with age, I think. Nice berries in the nose. Malty.

Breakfast Stout (2015) Crider

Very nice and smooth. Not sweet but not bitter either. Just a well-made stout.

Doom (2017) Crider

I’m sure this is smoother than when it was fresh, but I think I would have liked it better when the hops were fresh, too.

Imperial Stout (2014) Crider

Devil Dancer Crider

As malty as a barley wine. Very big flavor. This bottle has been aged around six years, so I’m not getting any hops, though I’m sure that would have been interesting here, too.

Frootwood (2017) Crider

Cherry and maple syrup had me a little worried this was going to be a mucky sugar bomb, but the flavors are very subtly woven together. This is a really pleasant experience!

Backwoods Bastard (2015) Crider

I can taste some of the quality shining through but this particular bottle didn’t age well (or maybe the entire year was muted, but that seems doubtful). Too bad. This is generally one of my favorite brews. Assumptions: 4.5. This bottle: 2.5. Split rating

Olde School Crider

Really nice autumn flavor. Really heavy body, though.

Backwoods Bastard (2016) Crider

120 Minute IPA Crider

It says it ages well on the bottle and it’s right! This bottle is around 6 years old and it’s pretty nice! All body, though. The hops is gone.
