Late check in. Bottled 3.8.21, much better with some age on it. Not as spice forward, dropped that strong ale/scotch ale hybrid thing I got fresh. Maintains a hop profile but leans a little more with sweet caramel tones Cleaning out the cellar continues!

Bottled 1.28.21 ; Still good but lost some of its character. Maple is still present but subdued. Roasted chocolates maintain throughout. Barrel is present but not overly there much like most of the founders barrel program circa 2021 + . Held on a bit long

Late check in.

Wegmans had it on sale, $5 for a four pack. Too much spice, dominated everything. Not a lot of barrel character, and sweet. I’ll just hang on to the others and see what happens in some years. Maybe it’ll get better. Barleywines can be so good, not this.

Bottled 9.19.22 Definitely has settled down in the cinnamon department. Much more balanced, Cinnamon Toast Crunch vibes with a nice malty base with a kick of bitterness. Overall a sweet pastry-esque experience. Clearing out the cellar!

Bottled 10.27.20 , definitely has aged well. Coffee is still prominent and hasn’t turned. Slight warming of the chest, subtle oak dryness. Huge chocolate. Still a little thin but not so much in comparison to more recent releases. Clearing out the cellar..

Bottled 8.11.21 , getting through some cellar beers aka drinking all the founders up. It’s ok, body still a bit thin. Cinnamon had mellowed, for my palate that’s welcomed. Not my favorite KBS.

Bottled 7.25.22 , rummaging around the cellar and decided it was time. Sweet malts with caramel syrup layered in a subtle almond. Barrel is there but not a big presence. General wood notes rather than oak. Thin for the abv. Feels thick, finishes light.

Bottled 08.05.21, found a couple in the cellar. It’s alright, not sure age can save this one. A lover of brown ale but there just this odd astringency I can’t shake.

This is truly delicious, Joe . I can’t imagine this with some age on it! So damn smooth.

It’s ok. Comes off a bit medicinal and artificial. Body is thin just like most in the KBS lineup these days. The coffee and chocolate pair well, mouthfeel is smooth. Not terrible but easily my least favorite variant of KBS.
