Utopias Barrel - Aged World Wide Stout (2021) Strader

Whoa boozy! But followed by very good sweet chocolate coffee and bourbon. Hot hit hot. I'll probably be asleep shortly.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) Strader

Perfection! My first on a Christmas morn years ago, spilled on my mom's white carpet. Oh no. Founders announced retirement of this beer so I saved one-very valuable. Now they released again and my bottle is only worth my absolute enjoyment now.

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio Strader

Thus is absolutely delicious. Bottle date 2016. Enlightening Josie and her partner to the finer drinks.

Hazacca IPA Strader

Ahhh...Simcoe! Piney nose up front followed by citrus. Reverse in flavor with citrus up front. Really solid delicious IPA.

French Toast Bastard Strader

One of my favs. Maple forward all the way. Wow much sweeter than I remembered and quite boozy

Nitro Oatmeal Stout Strader

Bitter coffee roasted malt nose. Oh yes, just as this style should be. Roasty creamy smooth flavorful.

QUARTER LIFE CRISIS - FOUNDERS 25TH ANNIVERSARY BEER Strader

Vanilla maple boozy maple nose. Whiskey up front followed by hazelnut maple with vanilla on the end. A little too much hazelnut for my personal taste. Good mouthfeel not overly boozy.

Mothership Series Barrel Aged Nemesis Strader

It's a #BiL kind of night and this is aging really really nicely

Ultimate Oktoberfest Strader

Malty boozy dark fruit nose. Hides the ABV well. Doesn't taste particularly authentic and I'm sure it breaks all the purity laws but it's tasty.

Big Worster Strader

Toffee caramel candy nose. Sweet and smooth. Very low carb. Boozy toffee caramel. Some underlying dark fruitiness. Man this 15.1% is warming me up on this chilly first day of Fall. #BiL!!

Nemesis (2021) Strader

#BiL

Go Reds! Overwhelming raspberry nose. A bit boozy but way too easy to drink.

Barrel-Aged Nemesis Strader

Dark fruit big malt boozy nose. Oh yes just like it should taste. Sweet malty boozy goodness. #BiL

B.A. Black Biscuit Strader

Before Untappd when MySpace, flipphones and BeerAdvocate were king we would drive for miles behind the distributor just to snag a full 4 pack of KBS. There was also a cult following for this beer. It's been at least 10 years since I've had it.

Breakfast Stout (2021) Strader

Great tree taking down beer. Next check in will be my #2000 do going to pick a good one!

Utopias Barrel - Aged World Wide Stout (2021) Strader

Poured a bit thinner than I was expecting but great roasty aroma of chocolate and some dark fruit. Mouthfeel a bit thinner than I was expecting too but great flavor. Sweet roasty malt and bitter chocolate with a hint of coffee.

Rübæus Strader

When this is what your sis brings, this is what we drink.

Frootwood Strader

Too cherry and too syrupy sweet for my taste.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2017) Strader

Good solid nose of malt molasses licorice chocolate. Very well aged. Slightly sweet, chocolate malt boozy. Coffee has faded off. Quite tasty with a slight bitter finish.

Saint Lamvinus Strader

Fun time at Pottse Brewing with Phil M. and E Potts.

Bourbon Aged Golden Stout Strader

Doesn't look like a stout but tastes like a stout. Very sweet with big roasted malt barrel oak bourbon coffee flavor. Actually maybe tastes more like a barleywine but maybe that's because I'm anticipating what I came for...

Nemesis (2021) Strader

Oh yesssss. This is what I came for. Big rich toffee sweet and maybe even a little green. Got some bottles and looking to put some age on this. Sond roasted malt notes and maybe even coffee? Maybe some bright hops under there that will fade with age. #BiL

Warewolves of Michigan Strader

Cellar Raid 2021! Outside in the beer garden so bus fumes and propane fumes interfering with aroma but really nice flavor. Nice West coast bitter hop bite but not too astringent. Very nice IPA!

Backwoods Bastard (2020) Strader

Got the fire going, now just waiting for my brunch beer coffee buddy to get here! Iaky caramel boozy nose. Aged just right. One of my favorite Founders beers. Slightly sweet caramel toffee rich flavorful full bodied.

Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout (2020) Strader

Zoom birthday party. Great ba stout.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Strader

Just keeps getting better with age if you like sweet stouts. Maple still noticable and strong chocolate fudge presence.

Harvest Ale Strader

Fruity peach nose. Not sure how much this changes from year to year, but last couple years were meh to my palette. This year is different though somehow. Getting nice sweet fruity flavors and fresh hops on the front. Good bitter finish. Really enjoyable.

KBS Espresso (2020) Strader

This is really good, but my absolute favorite is the Mackinac Island fudge version.

Backwoods Bastard (2019) Strader

Sweet oaky nose with molasses, smoke, toffee scotch and dark fruits. So nice. Sweet earthy smoky scotch. Hides ABV well, aged well.

Big Lushious Strader

Like its name chocolate and raspberry. Usually not a big fan if raspberry in beer but gies well with the chocolate. Go Reds!

Blushing Padre Strader

Shopping at Horrocks again. Yep its raspberry. Fruity jam.
