Might seem like a strange pick on a sultry evening…well it’ll warm up quick and that’s when all the great flavors shine. Revisiting an old favorite!

The 15.3% octane overpowers the other flavors. $10 bottle? Once was enough. Warming, just like this charming curmudgeon ‘greeter security stiff’ at DMV. He barked some instructions at me on the way in…I gave him some wisdom on the way out! 😏

The highlight was the lacing on the glass as I drank it. Otherwise it’s pretty ho-hum.

Took me almost an hour to finish…not a good sign. Has some pine (once it warmed up), watery finish. 🥱 Founders…you Floundered with this one.

Long day + 11.9% = giddiness. Don’t think cellaring this would benefit it. Great depth of coffee and bourbon. Only thing missing would be a cinnamon encrusted rim on the glass.

Time for a little Bourbon Barrel Aged excitement. Vanilla compliments the bourbon really well. The splash of maple syrup is the cherry on top. Fantastic 9.2% dessert brew.
