Cellared 3 years - Finish has shifted from oak to char; otherwise, all espresso notes are there from nose to profile with faint licorice and cocoa. One left in the fridge ... one more year, doubting any maturation.

Bottled 26 Oct 2020 Best by 26 Oct 2021 Cellared 14 months Nose: maintains big maple fudge profile w/ booze, char; astringent. First note has deadened predictably: more milk chocolate than dark, bitter ash, bitter cocoa; gum-numbing aftertaste.

Uncellared - Nose: tart, lemon peel, grain, honey, earth. Profile: well balanced earthy and tart, more of the same above. Another in the cellar - a rarity for me as it's a sour.
over 3 years ago
Much more espresso character than previous version, which overpowers the base stout. Not as full or rich as before. Didn't buy one to cellar. Had cellared and drunk the previous version, but seems I never checked in to it. Hmm.

Hella juicy, not too sweet considering its 13% ABV. Having two forms of raw beef: sliced with wasabi and minced with egg and garlic. Pray for my intestines.

That's a damn fine crisp pilsner - none too hoppy, sweet, nor malty. Wish it were 40 baht and readily available nationwide. This would be my all-day go-to.
over 3 years ago
Long time, no see, cherry. Decent body, medium-high sourness that comes with the territory. She's in the right time and place.
over 3 years ago
First nose: coffee grounds, toffee, ash. Second nose: spirit, vague fermented fruit. Light body. Taste: strong tea, tobacco, more ashin the aftertaste; light sweetness riding the bitter, malty profile.

Más Agave Grapefruit (2021) 2theD
Much more subdued margarita nose than lime or prickly pear... the grapefruit is clear and acidity pairs well with the original lime, much closer than pear, which was more syrupy.
over 3 years ago
Mas Agave Prickly Pear (2021) 2theD
Aftertaste is a bit candy-ish, syrupy... otherwise a solid start akin to the original.

Smells like buttered popcorn jelly beans, but that thankfully doesn't follow through. Solid one!

Bottled 01 Feb 2021, uncellared: nose of vanilla, cinnamon bark, milk chocolate, bourbon; actually, not too sweet. Taste profile of iced oliang, earth, horchata. Lingering bitter oliang aftertaste. Ordered one for my cellar, but not seeing it.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) 2theD
Cellared only 7 months: The sour malty nose still present, but has developed into brownie. Second nose more americano. Less bitter, more fudge, lightly sweet throughout. Moderate bourbon and boozey aftertaste; ends sour, lingering.

Check-in #5 of station #5 on the new Red Line. Well-balanced for a triple. Beautiful color. None too sweet. Hoppy and herbal. Just a bit of burn, which I love.

Pours foamy, but carbonation dies quickly. Nose is tart, green apple, like a Joy Rancher, banana and vanilla. Tart apple profile, a stickii and thicc boi.

Huh, very accurate description on the bottle: lactose, cocoa, vanilla, and coffee on a wave of golden ale. Rich and smooth, more bitter than sweet. Masterful creation.

Gave this a 4.5 while high, so now I'll adjust the scale just while inebriated. Still thick and grapefruit juicy, almost pulpy. A bit sticky but lovingly tart.

Whoa... like a DIPA body, then a fruit sourness yet with an earthy aura, then a berry sweetness followed by its tartness. Damned interesting flux between bitter, sourness, and sweet. Hella grapefruit.

Caramel, sprucetips, light bubblegum... pretty complex sounds odd, but works. Taste is very pine sap, damned bitter, wrung a pine tree for this IPA. Tall can would be too much for myself.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) 2theD
Pours like oil. Sweetness on the nose: dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, light bonfire and bourbon booziness. Fairly heavy body with sharp sourness that peaks at midtongue: filtered coffee, dark chocolate, light raisin. Bourbon biscuit aftertaste.
over 4 years ago
Tropical and sweet, but the bitterness makes it worthwhile and balanced.

Great after a 3.5hr mountain descent and 40min of bad roads, traffic, wind. Issan Province #16 of 20, on the way to Khon Kaen.

The only thing better than a beer sale is free beer. Bought from Thon Hops Beer.

Untappd says 16.7%, menu says 18.7%... whatever, it's big. Nose: heavy roasted malt, brewed coffee, light raspberry. Beautifully sour berry with a marshmellow sweetness, but coffee dregs slash and burn the palate on the aftertaste. No mercy charcoal.

Pillowy citrus nose. Rising bitterness peaks with a moderately sour citrus twinge, yet with a sweet lingering aftertaste.
over 4 years ago
Un-cellared bottle--Dark, unctuous pour with nice head. Nose: roasted coffee, vanilla, bourbon, char, smoke, clove... a lot going on but not overwhelming, sharp alcohol. Moderate carbonation with heavy body. Taste-wise: bourbon-forward profile with coffee

Frangelic Mountain Brown 2theD
Beautiful frangelic scent and taste, though rather thin for 9%. Lots of malt, nut, and molasses.

Unaged bottle: Wax is hard AF to take off! Tequila nose, light coffee, musty. Not too sweet, light body, rum is noticable, in front of the subdued honey, earthy albeit lacking cocoa or coffee notes. Slightly sour/sweet aftertaste, apple.

Underground Mountain Brown 2theD
Bottled 29-Jul-19, cellared 1 year: Nose of rich soil, coffee grounds, and nutmeg. Slight medicinal bitterness on the tonguetip. Medium body and carbonation. More coffee than medicine on the tongue, but bitter prevails throughout. Boozy bourbon.
over 4 years ago
Sharp americano nose, a bit tart. I usually don't like black IPAs, but this one strikes the bitterness balance between hops and coffee. It messes with my head a bit. An odd one, but really well done.

Nose: Malty, bourbon, boozy, dark fruit, light smoke. Sharp bitter, malty tonguetip; malty, boozy later, sharp again in the aftertaste with a strong malty note... Tobacco and malt when warm.

Year 0: Sour malty nise accented by brewed coffee, low sweetness. Sour and effervescent on tip, the bitterness of coffee slowly climaxes with light sweetness, splaying finally into sour coffee aftertaste, largely on the tip. Light chalk in throat.
