Breakfast beer this hot/steamy SWFL morning. Lots of hazelnut nose/flavor. 3 months out, coffee & bourbon, not so much. Still tasty and one of my favorite variants.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2017) Cornell
What a difference 5 years make! I loved this beer in 2017. Now, while still good, my 2nd bottle’s content is a shell of its former self. Subtle maple with notes of green bell pepper poking thru the roast coffee. Got any left? Drink up my friends!

Strong coffee nose, bitter roast coffee taste. I like better than the cinnamon variant.

Last bottle & it’s time; coffee continues to fade and green peppers are present; chocolate, oak and bourbon on backend. Downgrading to a 4.5. Drink these sooner than later. Happy Thanksgiving y’all!

World Wide Stout - Bourbon Barrel Aged Cornell
It’s been 1 year since last post on this beer; it’s drinking great! Still boozy hot, but not as hot. The chocolate and char meld more seamlessly with the boozy linger. Same score and yet I like even more! I have 1 more bottle for next year! Cheers!

Poured at 53°. At 11 months old the coffee has started to fade, and I detect some green bell peppers in nose/on tongue. Still tasty, but my suggestion is if you got ‘em, drink ‘em!
