John Whitaker

Black in color; medium bodied; it a distinguishable coffee or chocolate flavor; a bit on the sweet side; no bourbon bite; good; but, I like other Founders bourbon barrel beers better

John Whitaker

Dark black in color; medium bodied; good blueberry flavor at the finish; less of a classic KBS flavor at the start; cannot detect the bourbon and if you can it is very subtle; not sweet like a dessert beer; a nice sipping beer; really good.

John Whitaker

Dark burgundy in color; medium bodied; good cranberry flavor from the start; finishes a little tart; reminiscent of an old fashioned; actually a really nice sipping beer.

John Whitaker

Black in color; medium bodied; some roasted flavor at the finish; not as heavy as a stout, but still with a little dark beer flavor; not bad, but nothing exceptional either.

Black in color; full bodied; not a string flavor to start; by thr end there are very subtle chocolate and cherry notes; cherry is more noticeable as at warms; not a strong KBS flavor; good.

Cloudy dark golden in color; almost opaque; medium bodied; hints of juniper toward the finish; cannot detect the “berry”; refreshing; enough flavor to be interesting, but not as heavy as an IPA.

Transparent golden in color; light bodied;

John Whitaker

Cloudy golden in color; good carbonation; finishes a bit dry; kind of like a saison; a definite mango and orange flavor, but subtle; not sweet at all; lighter feeling than an IPA; a good refreshing beer on a hot summer day.

John Whitaker

Cloudy golden in color; medium bodied; good hops flavor at the start; hops are not overpowering or bitter; more mild than I remember the 60 or 90 minute IPA’s; a nice classic IPA for a hot spring day.

John Whitaker

Bronze in color; medium bodied; hints of sweetness; subtle cherry flavor toward the finish; cannot detect the bourbon itself; a boarder line dessert beer; good with a lower alcohol (8%) than some; refreshing, but with more body than a typical fruit beer.

John Whitaker

Fuscia in color; full bodied; sweet; strong fruit flavor; much more of a dessert beer than a with a Chipotle burrito beer; good, but loses points for sweetness and being a dessert beer.

John Whitaker

Dark reddish brown in color; medium bodied; pretty sweet; strong vanilla flavor at the finish; subtle bourbon flavor; definitely a sipping beer, but not necessarily a dessert beer.
