BB 01.24 Pours one of the prettiest autumn leaf/red/orange/amber I've seen with a substantial tan head Malty and resinous pine nose Taste follows with some noticeable malt sweetness and not too bitter pine Sticky mouthcoating and lingering bitters

Bottled 12.6.22 Standard KBS appearance and aroma Strong and fleeting cherry on the initial sip, followed by milk baking chocolate, lightly bitter coffee Body is barely over the line from moderate to thick and I love it. Overall a great KBS variant

Jonathan McConnell

Boozier and stronger bitter coffee than 2017/2018 Very good and more effervescent Thanks Craig W.!

Jonathan McConnell

Friends headed home. All to myself with this one Pour and aroma are similar, though coffee doesn't seem as old Coffee and deep 'stout-y' bitterness/fullness are more present and stronger Less warming body Overall better than 2017 Thanks Craig W.!

Jonathan McConnell

Vertical starting with 2.14.17 bottling Big boozy aroma and rich chocolate Bourbon and old coffee Warming and lingering booze Thanks Craig W.!

Jonathan McConnell

Bottled 5.29.18 Ruddy copper color with a thin tan head Fermented tropical fruit on the nose and palate (pineapple especially) Boozy warmth and biting carbo surprisingly Thanks Craig W.!

2016 vintage courtesy of Craig W. Light cola color with a head that jumped at me upon cracking the cap Delightful scotch aroma Caramel, scotch and earthy hops and subtle warm alcohol Warming and not syrupy at all. Thanks Craig!

Jonathan McConnell

Bottled 1.29.21 Dark, bourbon vanilla & maple blend together nicely. Very effervescent for being 2+ years old Bit on the lighter side body wise but good! Thanks Craig W.!

Jonathan McConnell

Bottled 8.5.21 Great at warmer temps. Boozy, bourbon, coffee and milky chocolate Fairly warming body and pillowy soft Thanks Craig W.!

Jonathan McConnell

Bottled 9.25.19 Maple syrup rushed out as I cracked it open Surprising head and retention for it's age Maple, chocolate, sweet and slightly milky No alcohol burn or heat for this 11.3% monster. Danger!

Jonathan McConnell

Aged for 9mos, and 10+ months since bottling, perfect amount of time imo! Caramel colored, sweet bready and bourbon vanilla delight I could drink all day (and end up on the floor) Thanks Craig W.

Jonathan McConnell

Let it warm up! Aroma and taste exponentially increase as it does. Full and boozy vanilla bourbon, coffee, and warming in the palate

Jonathan McConnell

What an amazing 'sit-down-and-enjoy-time-going-by' beer Likely the best porter I'll ever have. Cheers Craig W.!

Jonathan McConnell

Thanks Craig W. For this! Pours a true copper with a nice off white head that lingers into a great lacing. Sweet, heavy and strong boozy nose Caramel, sweetness and syrupy. Lingering soft alcohol heat Mild carbo with a blossoming warmth/radiation

Jonathan McConnell

Bottled 7.29.19 Pours dark hickory with a impressive head for a BA Settled into a ring persistent ring Strong brown sugar,medium roast-esque coffee, and robust chocolate. Hints of bourbon, vanilla Taste follows aroma beautifully Drinkable and warming

Jonathan McConnell

Canned 2.20.23 Pours amber bordering crimson with an aggressive tan head, left a nice sticky lacing Hoppy and light aroma Strong malt, piney and floral, not much if any citrus Light and sessionable body

Jonathan McConnell

Pours dark brown with a thin head Leaves a nice lacing on the glass Strong maple and sweet aroma Tastes exactly like a rich thick syrupy slab of French toast Pretty thick body and incredibly warming
