Thanks, Mike!

Utopias Barrel-Aged World Wide Stout O’B

!!!!

Stay In Stout O’B

Gotta need something stronger the way this is going…

Ginger, Spice, Barreled And Nice O’B

I would eat gingerbread year around; so, I’m not counting this as a too soon Christmas beer 😄

Utopias Barrel - Aged World Wide Stout (2021) O’B

Aged 2 years. Starting to mellow just a bit but still has the alcohol burn.

French Toast Bastard 2023 O’B

Today’s brunch beer

French Toast Bastard O’B

Happy birthday to me!!!

The Headless Gourdsman O’B

The barrel aging cuts the sweetness just enough.

KBS Blueberry O’B

Chocolate and mild bourbon aroma, but the blueberry dominates the KBS flavors. I agree with Renee K. , not much bourbon on taste. It’s KBS; so, it’s still good.

60 Minute IPA O’B

Backwoods Bastard (2016) O’B

Bought a single off of the deep discount shelf today. It’s ok but is not at the original rating (which I am not adjusting for this check in). If you already have it on your shelf, drink it soon. It tastes like it could become a malt bomb at any time.

Wake Up World Wide Stout O’B

Great brunch beer in small quantity at the hefty ABV. The sweetness hides some of the booziness.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2019) O’B

Not sure if this is optimal aging time or if 2019 was my favorite year (according to my Untappd ratings).

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2018) O’B

Happy parade day Scranton ☘️☘️☘️☘️ The 2018 has held up fairly well.

Chocolate Cherry KBS O’B

A nice night cap of a sweet, bourbony treat.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2017) O’B

Very boozy aroma. Ok, but it did not hold up as well as the 2017 BCBS.

Crimson Cru O’B

French Toast Bastard O’B

Cinnamon and syrup with the bastard oakiness we all love.

Curmudgeon's Better Half O’B

Thanks Greg!

Backwoods Bastard O’B

Very good, but I still think it lost a little something when Founders went from vintage to year around for this one. Bottled 06.16.2022.

4 Giants IPA (2021) O’B

Canned 12/29/2021. A west-coast style that is reminiscent of Green Flash. Earthy with a dank finish. A nice break from the juicy IPAs.

4 Giants Hazy IPA O’B

Utopias Barrel-Aged World Wide Stout (2020) O’B

Still boozy at 17+% ABV of course, but mellowing after two years. Definitely drinking better than the newer 2021 vintage. If I could hold on to one for another year or two…

KBS Hazelnut O’B

The hazelnut adds a nice dimension to the KBS we all know and love. 🌰🌰🌰🌰

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2017) O’B

Has not mellowed. Surprising bite. Rating from past tastings.

90 Minute Imperial IPA O’B

This game is almost hopeless ☹️

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter O’B

Definitely reminds me of an old-fashioned. I’m more of a Manhattan drinker.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa O’B

This one’s a little hot. The barrel-aging predominates the flavors. I expect other flavors to come out more as it mellows. Good now but may be better in a few months. Bottled 8.26.21. WE ARE…🏈

Backwoods Bastard O’B

Hello darkness my old friend…

Beer Geek Breakfast O’B

Today’s brunch beer.

Slightly Mighty O’B

A load of flavor for a lo-cal IPA.

Centennial IPA O’B

60 Minute IPA O’B

Nemesis (2021) O’B

Panther Cub (2021) O’B

KBS O’B

I guess this is a “new” check in since KBS is now a year-around. Holding on to several vintages in hope of hosting a vertical tasting post-pandemic. For now, it’s a warmer after shoveling snow.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) O’B

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2020) O’B

First of the 2020 release. I always like to try at least one fresh and then age others. Very good as expected l, but it is a little hot that should calm down with aging.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge O’B

A good winter warmer after clearing snow. Great flavors

Curmudgeon’s Better Half (2018) O’B

Quite boozy with little sweetness. I previously rated 4.25. Possibly this bottle was not kept properly at the store or else it just has not aged well. No rating this time.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) O’B

Wow! Maple fudge bourbon. What’s not to live here? Definitely a one and done. I like that it is a bit on the thin side.

Beer Geek Brunch Weasel O’B

Today’s brunch beer. Getting chocolate and vanilla along with the oatmeal.

60 Minute IPA O’B

I chose a classic IPA for the badge!
