Delicious brunch beer for this Friday the 13th! Love the vanilla and cinnamon. I do wish there was more barrel character but I'm really here for the French toast flavors and on that it delivers.

Barrel Aged High Ball Drifter M
Smells like a high gravity brew, not necessarily barrel aged or citrussy, but man that orange comes through delightfully in the flavor. I really like it. Would have liked a bit more bourbon and bitters in the flavor, but I am enjoying it still.

The kernza grain adds a pronounced grainy flavor. Makes it kind of rustic tasting. It's a bit too much for my liking. And it detracts from the hoppy snap finish I want in a pilsner.

Really hesitated buying this expensive 4-pack but one whiff and I'm sold. Oh my. Smells and tastes soooo good! Love the hazelnut so much. Awesome addition and flavor. Wish they'd bring back Frangleic Mountain Brown now.

Founders continually nails these barrel aged beers. Such a tasty brew! Flavors blend so well together. May have to get another pack. ☕ 🍺

Really like this version! Cinnamon jumps out the most to me in both aroma and flavor. Bourbon in the aroma and chocolate in the flavor. Vanilla seems light and adds a touch of sweetness. Light bodied for its abv and not boozy. Good fall stout!

Smells like my kind of dessert! Chocolate and coffee with a hint of bourbon. Drinks lighter than expected with enough sweetness to keep the abv hidden but also not cloying. All the flavors meld nicely. I could drink this quickly if I'm not careful. 👍👍

Love the huge drop in temp and the incredible nonstop lightning show going on--conditions that made having a Backwoods Bastard feel right. Plus another chance to show off a cool Duvel glass.

Been a few months since I last had b'fast stout. Bottled just back in June so pretty fresh. This might be my favorite new Duvel glass, featuring "six hop devils" dancing around the glass. Perfect for this devil of a breakfast beer.

This one has sat for a while but it's still plenty tart, as well as sweet, and has that thick mouthfeel. Like the lime flavor and hint of tequila. Unique, fun brew, though I prefer this flavor profile in a much lighter, refreshing style.

Smells both fruity and a hint of roast; big chewy malt bill and alcohol bite, sweet malts and big bitter/pineyhops; minimal roast character, more chocolate and caramel; love the big hop character like Bigfoot; nothing crazy but different enough b'wine.

Smells great, bourbon and vanilla; similar taste w/ a light note of maple; body is surprisingly thin and the overall flavor doesn't have the heft you'd expect for its ABV. Due to that, I'd knock this a bit given the price is 50% more than Underground Mtn.

Big bourbony aroma; lots of malt sweetness (but not overly sweet) with caramel, toffee, and vanilla flavors mingling with the bourbon; another tasty barrel aged sipper from Founders. Always a solid bet.

This beer wowed me last year, so I was hyped to see it return for 2020. Strong coffee and bourbon aroma, very inviting. Rich flavors of milk chocolate, coffee, brown sugar, and bourbon. Slight boozy heat at the end but still drinks easy for 12%. Fantastic

Very inviting stout aroma with noticeable chocolate notes; body is full and creamy; flavor nails the balance of being a stout with adjuncts with just the right amount of chocolate and raspberry; drinkability is not hampered thankfully; very good!

Cool idea for a beer. Tastes pretty good despite being seven months old (won't rate it for that reason). Tropical hops coming through still. Pleasing malt flavor. Finish is nice and a bit more abrupt maybe due to the kolsch yeast? Like it! Will try again.

Yowza! This does taste like I'm drinking a strong margarita with some caramel flavor. Smells every bit a margarita. Wish I got more tequila flavor though. Full body, sweet. Not as sour as expected. They nailed what they were going for. Not sure I love it.
