Mmm, just taste that kernza (not really)! Uniquely flavored pils with good mouthfeel and a gentle, light, crisp, grainy/malty, slightly earthyish taste. Very quaffable and slammable.

Pepperheads rejoice! Exceptionally well balanced 2-3x fruit brew w/tons of mango (MANGO!!) flavor, good but not too capsaiciny/peppery heat, great palate heft & lingering mango (MANGO!!) aftertaste & such a smooth fooler of a 10%er. Better LOVE mango for

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2018) Johnson
See previous reviews. The last of the '18ers & mellowed well with most flavors still evident. Aged much better than recent Goose Island Bourbon County brand stouts.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) Johnson
See previous reviews. All mapley sweetness/bourbony flavors gone after three years. Still good, just no evidence of any maple/bourbon barrel aging.

Exceptionally well balanced & tasty Belgian tripel with great aroma, lighter but satisfying palate heft and an incredibly subdued, complex, fruity/banana/clove flavor and an agave sweetness that's subtle and complementary. Very smooth fooler of a 10 %er!

Not sure if this is the correct 2022 at 20% & 1000ibus (YOW! Thanx for listing 'em!) but.......Mmmmm, fresh 120 minute ipa. See previous reviews of various vintages (and Pray for Mojo)......
about 3 years ago
(sigh) Again, ZERO abv & ZERO ibus, eh? I don't think so. One big, fat, uninformative ZERO of a review. At least it's saving me a bunch of cash from even having to taste all the brews that have ZERO info to go by. A 2x ipa for All Day? Wrong style as well

See initial review of 4 Giants, take away the aroma & the dank/bitter/piney/resinousness and add a light haze & a more softer, less bitter/hoppy taste due to the lower alcohol + the inclusion of wheat & oats. Dangerously smooth and quaffable for 8.4%!!
over 3 years ago
See previous reviews of original KBS & add a whopping great hazelnuttiness flavor & sweetness but take away almost all bourbony/boozy/barrel aging intensity. Definitely smoother & sweeter than the base. What happened Founders, time for some fresh barrels?
over 3 years ago
What's the ibus? Well balanced pils with good mouthfeel and a hoppier flavor than others. Clean, crisp and very quaffable but not so much straw-like, malty taste.

Where the Wild Hops Are Johnson
Bottle sez 6.5% (& thanx for listing the ibus!). Just wish the description was as informative as the DH website as this blend of ipa & barrel aged wild ale is an acquired taste 4 sure! Good mouthfeel, not too hoppy/bitter but a dank/tropical/citrusy/funky

See initial review. 3 years is too long to push 120 minutes, I don't care what Dogfish Head says on the label about a decade.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa Johnson
See previous reviews of various vintages&variants.This iteration has a bigly triple hit of cinnamon,cocoa&vanilla as advertised plus a wallop of javaliciousness.Smooth&every bit as POWerful as it's 12%, but any bourbon is overwhelmed by the other flavors.
over 3 years ago
Tasty, well balanced ipa with good mouthfeel, nice floral/malty flavor and more hoppiness than you'd expect from only 45ibus. Very quaffable indeed.

See previous reviews of various vintages. Holds up well for a two year old hiding in the beer fridge as well as a forgotten check in.

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter Johnson
Wonderfully aromatic & well balanced BA brown with great palate heft; mouthcoating, lingering aftertaste & big orange/fruity/malty flavors with hints of cherry, vanilla & whisky in the finish. Smooth fooler of an 11%er that sneaks up on you.

See initial review. So mellow all bourbon & vanilla hints are gone. My last Doom (I think, still haven't made it to the back of the first beer fridge)

Another very expen$ive purcha$e more puckerpuss sour than tart with lots of fruity, citrusy flavor, good mouthcoating heft and finish & a very dry, vinous aftertaste. (sigh) into the marinade......
about 4 years ago
Nice enough ipa more like a wild/sour with the brettanomyces. Good hoppy bite fighting to get past the yeastiness. Not my pint of ale, your mileage may vary. Note to self: start reading labels more carefully and avoid anything brett!!!! Into the marinade!

And now for something completely different on Cinco de Mayo.....a flavorful beer! See previous reviews.
about 4 years ago
Uniquely flavored barley-style brew more dark&much less caramelly sweet than some w/great balance&palate heft for being lighter on the tongue than others too.Incredibly, dangerously smooth fooler of an 11.2 that drinks like much less w/zero alcoholic heat
about 4 years ago
Interestingly flavored ipa more akin to a pale due to its light sweetness from the lactose and softness from the oats & wheat. Definitely doesn't drink like a 6.4%er and not nearly as bitter/hoppy as its 49ibus. Subtle tropical tastes & clean finish.

See initial review of Panther Cub. (sigh) still unavailable in LFK.... (& no, I haven't forgotten about you either, O'Malleys)

Finally got around to this one after almost a year. See initial review of Mas Agave and add a good dose of grapefruit. Probably mellowed a lot in 9 months but still margarita-y pungent. Da da da da dant dant DANT! TEQWEEZA!!

Well balanced & tasty NE ipa with light haze, nice aroma, big juicy/citrusy/tropical kinda flavors, low hoppiness/bitterness, great mouthfeel due to the oats & a lingering, fruity finish. Very quaffable & disappears fast and easy!

Wonderfully hoppy, well balanced&flavorful brew and definitely as advertised, an American pilsner with good palate heft & a crisp, light, bubbly, refreshing&slightly dryish taste&finish. Goes down fast, easy & I sure wish I'd found this during summertime!

Javaheads rejoice!Unbelievably well balanced,complex,flavorful imperial golden/blonde with coffee,vanilla,cocoa&milk sugar notes lightly dancing on your tastebuds for attention.Great aroma, mouthcoating palate heft&lingering finish.Very smooth 8% fooler.
