Michael Obert

Tonight's closer. Stellar scotch ale, thinned out some, but a classic and still packs great flavor.

Michael Obert

Classic!

Michael Obert

The OG boozy brown ale, drinkable and smooth, heady barrel notes, what all brown ales should all aspire to be

Michael Obert

A mole finish to a fun Saturday.

Michael Obert

Going back north of the border for a mole inspired stout for the holiday. Tasty, flavorful, but doesn't really jump out as the best mole stout I've had. Heady coffee and chocolate overwhelm the spiciness. Good for me, but spice fans would want more.

Michael Obert

Not that I have a whole lot of other options at this point, so it works!

Michael Obert

Blueberries and Mosaic OH style beer; a good, smooth, creamy match.

Michael Obert

Have the OG, have the BA variety, the spirits of party demand it. A chill St. Pat's for me, but with work on the morrow, restraint is called for. Headier barrel notes than the OG, and a tad more abrasive, but delivers on point.

Michael Obert

Seems like a fit addition to the St. Pat's register. Goes down easy and sits just right.

Michael Obert

One of the best stouts forever, forever.

Michael Obert

For when you just wanna stay in and drank. A fine closer. 🍻 all!

Michael Obert

Think of this as KBS meets a weaker stout. Thinner than I'd like from the dark beer masters at Founders, but the flavor is complex and wonderful. Coffee and fudge leap to the forefront and hazelnuts back the whole deal up, along with a boozy countenance.

Michael Obert

I always do what the Bettet Half tells me. This is handily one of Founders best beers.

Michael Obert

Ginger heavy, but, tis the season.

Michael Obert

Sweet for a boozy pumpkin beer, but it's Founders, so they'll get a pass.

Michael Obert

Time for Treehouse of Horror and one last beer. Potent blueberry and sticky stouty goodness. Cheers all, and have a good rest of the weekend.

Michael Obert

One last brew for the evening. Rich, inky molasses notes, dark sugar and light caramel, just stellar. Founders is my kryptonite,.for good cause.

Michael Obert

A caramelly wheatwine. Boozy and sweet, but not too, and delicious.

Michael Obert

Sitting has helped this some; nice sweetness now that wasn't there originally. Cheers and chocolate, dessert par excellence

Michael Obert

Delightful. Nice, solid nutty notes, so smooth and tasty.

Michael Obert

Nice and spicy; a good way to start a nice round of outdoor drinking in fall weather.

Michael Obert

Founders continues its crusade to make every style a 12% or higher. A barleywine is the perfect style into which adding spices and ginger works. Smooth and spicy, with a balanced blend of flavors. The perfect lead-in to the holiday season.

Michael Obert

A Bastard for a bastard of a day. 😋

Michael Obert

Sugary brown sugar and maple.

Michael Obert

Tacky maple sweetness. I mean, I love that's a 13% killer, but need some time

Michael Obert

Right. Less ABV than the regular, but so much more coffee.

Michael Obert

Left. All but a barleywine, so tasty.

Michael Obert

Founders.tried to make a ball-breaking Marzen; theyly got it part way. A decent closer for the weekend.

Michael Obert

Caramelly sweetness hidden behind a boozy body. A sweet finish to the night.

Michael Obert

It's beer!

Michael Obert

Actual closer, lol. It's the AM, so French toast lands. Tons of cinnamon and maple.

Michael Obert

Closing with one of the weaker KBS variants. Cherry is strong, but coffee doesn't gel as well. Got better with time, maybe more is needed

Michael Obert

Never not good; finding one of these babies in the basement is amazing. So good, tasty booziness and warming notes

Michael Obert

Strong notes of boozy cherry; a little too sweet for what it is. The coffee come through strong, though it doesn't quite gel with the other flavors.

Michael Obert

A blast of coffee runs this brown. Like C.O.B on steroids

Michael Obert

Mellows a bit over time, but still sweetish.

Michael Obert

Maple comes through the more this warms, which is good, because otherwise it's pure boozahol. That being said: I like boozahol as a flavor.

Michael Obert

I swear Christmas gets longer every year. I needed a shot and one of these to help tide me over until, well, the next beer, lol..

Michael Obert

Feelin' something brunchy. The cinnamon nose in this is stupid good; a.solid variant, but I still prefer the OG.

Michael Obert

All day, any day.

Michael Obert

For when you feel like you've been going all day, all day.

Michael Obert

An interesting blend. Heavy Cinnamon notes overwhelm the standard Backwood Bastard, but it's smooth, goes down nicely, with both sweet and spicy notes.

Michael Obert

Crushtastical.

Michael Obert

Is it a day? Check.

Michael Obert

Closing with one more butt-kickin' beer. Wishing it had a richer malt character.

Michael Obert

Oddly sweet. Who barrel ages a Marzen? Founders. Light bodied, goes down damn easy for the ABV. Still, I can see how this is not everyone's jam.

Michael Obert

All day, any day 😋

Michael Obert

A dryer version of KBS. Not bad; still got the kick and a fine finisher.

Michael Obert

Founders is just the best. Mapley, kinda sweet, but still with a boozy kick. You need to get this to let it really shine.

Michael Obert

Handily one if Founders best entries. Forget better half, more like the best half.

Michael Obert

Juicy and luscious indeed. Dessert candy stout without being a sugar bomb.

Michael Obert

When you have had a long, frustrating day, drink a barleywine. You'll thank me for this advice.

Michael Obert

A crushable, low-test Founders porter and the cub is cute as all get-out 😁

Michael Obert

Let the lazy day of video games and beers begin 😋

Michael Obert

An all day good decision.

Michael Obert

A session standard.

Michael Obert

Ready to get back on the horse after last night's shenanigans. Starting easy-breezy and staying inside. That sun is a killer today!

Michael Obert

Coffee brown + rocket fuel. To the moon, Alice!

Michael Obert

Coffee brown. Robust, full-flavored, winner.

Michael Obert

Cold and crummy out, so time to say Oh Canada! Maple warmth fends off the slushy mess.

Michael Obert

Solid Porter sweetened with hints of vanilla.

Michael Obert

Baller barleywine; hoppy and boozy and nit for the faint of heart.

Michael Obert

Following up a cocktail with a cocktail. Tons of rich fruitiness and a sweet caramel smoothness. Lands like a champ!

Michael Obert

Chocolate and raspberries; an aperitif for the ages.

Michael Obert

A dry, bitter, back old school barley wine. Rich fruit and alcohol notes.

Michael Obert

Fudgalicious.

Michael Obert

Vanilla heavy; otherwise solid.

Michael Obert

Strong coffee; tons of malty notes and coffee, delish.

Michael Obert

Tons of boozy fruit; just what the doctor ordered.
