Travis Earley

HORAL's Oude Geuze Mega Blend (2022) Earley

Doing back breaking labor overhead on a holiday really makes you want to crack a bottle and enjoy. Lemon zest and lightly funky. Sharp Bret flavor and an oh so light oak.

Snowbound Vanilla Porter Earley

Roasty, sweet and a dry coffee bitter chalky flavor on the tail. vanilla and chocolate caramel meld very well together.

Sang Bleu (Camerise) Earley

Tart fruity and red currant lightly bitterness, but a watery fruity character. Lightly funky as it opens up. Very well carbonated and a tightly packed rose head on this

Mortal Bloom Earley

Really sharp and abrasive version of a hazy. Citrus rind and really dry on the tail.

Kriek 100% Lambic Bio (2023) Earley

Smooth and really sweet light cherry with a faint bit of funk. Sweet, light oak and a deep cherry, almost black cherry but with a lighter lemony funk.

KBS Spicy Chocolate Earley

Smooth chocolate, bourbon and a little bit of heat. More of a smooth flavor rolling in here. Really silky and delicious

All Night IPA Earley

BFLN-toasted and roasty hoppy. Slightly bitter but a more piney hop character. At Doug’s last night

Crimson Cru Earley

Funky- earthy hops combined with a delicate meaty tart flavor. Like deep musty and dried cherries

Classic Gueuze (2023) Earley

BFLN- “I guess you guys aren’t ready for that kinda music yet….”. A whole lotta cheesy funk to it and a green apple and slight lemon sweetness. Very tart and funky / cheesy. Very young gooooozie

Punkin Ale (2023) Earley

Always a nice one to get every year to usher in fall. Full on pumpkin and slight nutmeg, clove and pumpkin pie spicing to this with delicate balance. Always well done

Rosé de Gambrinus (2016) Earley

Enamel ripping tartness that is unlike the normal Cantillon funk. Sweet and tart and a jam like raspberry. Raspberry lemonade.

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio (2016) Earley

This is so.damn.good. After 7 years still such a bright, lemon juice and orange peel like tartness that is now melded well into hay and a little bit of funk. Very smoove and aging nicely…

Oktoberfest Earley

Beautiful color but a really thin head that vanished too quickly. Very smooth and malty and an oily slick mouthfeel.

Saint Lamvinus (2022) Earley

Sweet, vinous and some tannins on the tail. Juicy but in a grape fruity manner. Little jammy, but ever so slightly astringent finish. Nicely tart, sweet and faintly funky.

KBS Blueberry Earley

Like blueberry flavored coffee. Bourbon is really fain this year, but present in some sweetness and heat. Seems almost overpowered but the bright acidic and sweet blueberry flavor mixed with choco and lighter coffee roast

Utopias Barrel-Aged 120 Minute IPA Earley

Boozy, but not abrasively so after a strong start to the evening. Cognac, slightly boozy, but missing that really strong maple syrup waft to show me it is true Utopias. Maybe my 2015 was just that though. Hops do a good job of covering. Really drinkable

Citrus Squall Earley

Really bitter grapefruit juice and heavy bitter citrus vibe. Has that yeasty flavor with a little bit of spongy bready malts.

Geuze Mariage Parfait Earley

2016 vintage. Really warm and light lemon zesty tartness. Bright, tart and pretty zippy. Smoothed slightly oak and a clean mouthfeel.

Saint Lamvinus (2021) Earley

Such wine like grape tannin and oak laden flavor. Sweet, but brightly done ans a juicy disposition. Tart, but balanced with the sweetness.

Chocolate Cherry KBS Earley

Warm, inviting- sweet bourbon wrapped in a ton of milk chocolate. Cherry was really slight at best and this was a boozy, chocolate coffee masterpiece…

Punkin Ale (2022) Earley

Strong pumpkin, nutmeg and spice. Light cinnamon, lots of nutmeg actually and a pleasant drinking amber color

All Day Chill Day Earley

BFLN-while watching the snow-mageddon Bills game last night. Easy and light hops. Earthy and really crisp. Clean

All Day IPA Earley

BFLN-haven’t had one of these in a while. Light, nice -grassy and piney and orange citrus hop character with a really clean and light mouthfeel. Bitter tail and more west coast

French Toast Bastard Earley

Vanilla cinnamon and maple all come thru really strong in the first sip. This is borderline pastry scotch ale. 🤪 barrel is subtle and oak laden, but with a spicy kick.

Framboise Boon Earley

Weird for this to be on draft, but musty dusty raspberries with a ton of sweet syrupy sugar on the tail. Like raspberry sauce

Wake Up World Wide Stout Earley

BFLN- this was a boozy sipper for sure. Was pretty much room temp when opened and dropped in a sharp boozy alchy aftertaste. Coffee was darkly roasted and bitter and coupled with the alcoholic heat, was just okay. Wish more subtle coffee cream came thru

All Day Vacay Earley

Pretty bland and flavorless, but that might be some metallic from the covid meds that I’m on. Pale like hops, bland and earthy.

Dirty Bastard (2021) Earley

Very much sweet toffee and biscuit malts. Really nicely bitter and sweet and delicious to share with Pa!

KBS Hazelnut Earley

Pretty boozy and sharp, but had a cheap coffee vibe to it. The hazelnut was more in the nose than a nutty flavor, but still solid. Barrel seemed like an afterthought

Passion Pool Earley

I mean- I freaking love passionfruit. It’s so juicy and tart and slightly bitter. Easily crushable and a salty finish

Better Half 2020 Earley

This was really solid! Boozy, but incredibly rounded edges and a ton of malt on the tail that made it sweeter on the finish. Thick and really maple syrup forward.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa Earley

BFLN-solidly done BA coffee stout. Barrel treatment was a little light this time around and cinnamon was really forward in this beer. Reminded me a little bit of a cinnamon sweet coffee.

Punkin Ale 2021 Earley

BFLN-pretty solid and malty and full of caramel accents. They always spit out good stuff.

Velvet Rush Earley

Smooth, creamy and coffee forward. This is subtle And how I’d like KBS to drink now that I’m an old man… sweet, only a faint wrap of bourbon and smooth balanced coffee. Not aggressive at all

Lou Pepe Gueuze Earley

BFLN-2013 sticker, 2015 cork. Really aging excellent in my eyes. Warm, okay, lemon zest of it has completely evaporated, woody and lightly refreshing. Wonderful.

HORAL's Oude Geuze Mega Blend 2013 Earley

BFLN-really cool to crack an 8 year old geuze for no other reason than you are hanging with your boys… warm hay, lots of lemon zest, and an okay lighter drying finish.

Fou' Foune (2020) Earley

B-day Fou is a really delicious tradition around these parts. This was a solid vintage! Bright apricot and a slightly oaky and lemon juicy lambic tail to it, but apricot preserves and a very bit of pucker in the tail. Funky and will develop well in time

Saint Lamvinus (2017) Earley

BFLN-nothing like St Lammy out of an Easter basket! More vinegar-y than I recalled. Little bit of a mineral finish, but more funk present than fruit. Grapes were subtly covered by funkiness

Spontanlemon Earley

BFLN-a really musty and bright lemon zest to it. Crisp and pretty tart. Not too funky, but a solid easy drinker

Lou Pepe Kriek Earley

BFLN-outstanding Kriek. Even “fresh” this had incredible rounded edges and an almost vanilla and cinnamon aftertaste. Beautifully done cherry banger. Bravo!

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) Earley

Lovely little brew. Like a solid stout that’s been laden with sweet shop tasty treats from a fresh fudge like family. Coffee is faint, but a medium roast. Can barely taste the barrel. Fudge plays the prominent lead here

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Earley

Helluva nice stout. Coffee and barrel are really subtle but the fudgy and maple syrup like flavors are there, just subdued. Really delicate and balanced into one...

Magic Lambic Earley

Whoa! I could smell the mushy raspberry patch AS I was pouring it. Really well carbed, but dissipated quickly and the jammy fruit character was unmatched for me. Creamy too. Excellent lambic! Still a little bit of funk underneath too. Wow...huge fruit.

Brabantiae Earley

BFLN- cracking ghost 👻 whalez the night before Thanksgiving is always nice. Only slightly lemon zesty, but very smoothed and okay. More subdued and felt like it had many years on it. Lovely beer, very soft

Oude Geuze A L’Ancienne VAT 108bis Mono Blend Earley

Wow- this was incredible for Boon. Such layered and deep complexity. I thought it was going to be light, tart and airy...was woody, oak laden and only a small tiny bit of tart lemon on the top of your tongue. Beautiful beer...

Geuze Boon Sélection Earley

Always nice to see a Lambic on the menu. You know that’s exactly what I’m drinking! Lots of bright lemon and a little hay like funk. Very young

Rosé de Gambrinus (2018) Earley

BFLN-much more abrasive than I recall. Akin to a more acidic finish and less rounded than the 3F. Was surprised by that...thanks Mike N. ! More of a muddled raspberry than bright. Might be due to age??

Vigneronne (-2019) Earley

2018 vintage. Thank you to Michelle for the mule from Belgium! Really soft acidity and a lemon zest sweetness mixed with light hay funk. Beautifully layered and complexity starting to show

Fou' Foune (2019) Earley

A little birthday Fou is always an awesome tradition. Bright, lemon and a warm sweet apricot finish that is very balanced and delicate. Little bit of funk developing on the tail. Beautiful beer
