Founders may not be what it used to be, but this series of beers is still fabulous. You can detect each adjunct: coffee softened by milk chocolate, the sweetness of vanilla, a light spicy note of cinnamon that blends with a dash of wood dipped in bourbon.

Barrel and whiskey at the entrance, some dates, with a bitter/hoppy and hot/spicy finish! Very original Barleywine, I deeply like it!

More dry than juicy! Hoppy and bitter, almost a West Coast IPA.

Too much sweet caramel and honey. It's not bad, it's just too much. Balancing is lacking.

A rather spiced Imperial Scotch/Brown Ale. Tasty and refined, also thanks to the passage through bourbon barrels. Rather Christmassy for its dried fruit and candied orange hints.

Too much wheat, too little taste. Too much sweet hints, not enough hop or spices to balance everything. It's not bad, it's just useless.

Stunning stuff. Every single ingredient and every production step - oat, vanilla, cocoa, a passage thru the barrels which contained both whiskey and rum - has a clear role in this complex yet delicious Imperial Stout.

Wow: a new interpretation of my beloved KBS! This contains coffee, maple syrup, obviously chocolate: yes, it'd be a sort of mix between base beer, Espresso and CBS. Actually tastes a lot more like the original version than the two variants: that's good!

Coffee gives a bit of acidity to the base version. The barrel contributes in a balanced manner. The sip is quite agile just like the body, that's rather thin for a 12% ABV bomb.

"An Imperial Golden Ale with coffee, cocoa nibs, vanilla and milk sugar". The official description of the beer this time says it all! Intense Cappuccino taste, another great beer from the mighty Founders.

A lot of sediments floating. This beer has passed its quality peak, I can taste only sweet malt notes and just a vague hint of fruit.

A lot of bourbon, wood and vanilla, then dark chocolate and hints of licorice and light maple syrup. Bitter finish. Great!

A nice West Coast IPA! I don't understand why they added lactose, which luckily you feel little or nothing (just a bit in the finish): without it, this beer would have been even more bitter and dry, and therefore even better!

Not that clean, a bit rustic, but rather in style with its dry and bitter finish.

Awesome! Vanilla and coffee give deepness and complexity to a yet fantastic Imperial Stout base with roasty and bitter hints softened by oat and enriched by a final spiced edge (cinnamon?). For the coffee-addicteds like me!

Mmhm, not that good. Graceless bitterness on the finish, taste is meh. A strong oxydation note. Hey Mikkeller, thinks about making good beers instead of questionable propaganda, because the competition is ever-increasingly fierce...

I don't like berries in Stout, generally, but this is another thing: it is full of raspberries and offers a strange but nice taste. You'll hardly feel the roasted/toasted part, or hoppiness/bitterness, or maltiness: only tart and fruitiness.

Very watery and not very bitter but with a nice citric taste on the sweet. Easy-drinking as an IPA Session should be.

Here's the line-up for our New Year's Eve! Let's start light and easy with this nice little thing by Mikkeller: sweet, tasty, a good (New England?) Session IPA. E insomma, du' cosette ce le beviamo anche stasera, nonostante tutto! Auguri! Happy New Year!

A lot of ripe continental and exotic fruit like, for example, grapes and pineapple. A tasty Oceanic Pale Ale!
