Sweet aroma of hops and yeast. Taste is smooth and sweet, with a hint of dark malt flavor. Aftertaste is mix of dark malt and yeast sweetness, with a hint of fruity hops way in the background.
Date on bottom of can is 9/22/20, drinking on 4/10/2021, so it’s a bit past prime. Maybe fresher would have more hop presence.
Aroma of sticky hop sweetness with hints of caramel malt. Clean palate taste of mild malt, goes down quite smoothly with mostly malt and a bit of yeast flavor. Way in the background is a minor hop bitterness. Very tasty.
Their normal bourbon barrel aged Stout, with peanut butter, cocoa nibs, & “natural flavors”. Bottled 1/27/2021, drank on 4/6/2021.
Bourbon smell masked behind blocking wall of peanut butter and cocoa. Very smooth taste of cocoa, slight peanut butter, and then bourbon barrel Stout on the back end.
Fresh, bright hop aroma. Thick mouthfeel, almost like drinking juice. Not overly bitter, but full flavor of pineapple-like hops fills the palate with mild residual sweetness lingering.
Nice solid hop aroma. Taste has a slight twinge of sweetness to it, slightly puckering the taste buds. Good flavor of dark malts in the background- recognizable but not overpowering. Finish is mix of nice hop flavor combined with yeast taste. Very refreshing and flavorful overall.
Tart cherry aroma, like cough syrup. Taste is very sweet, but no bite from dark malt. Super sweet. Need to let this warm up to see if the character changes…
Warmer is mellower on the raspberry. But still super sweet and cloying.
Crisp, bright aroma, with a mild malt sweetness. Clean taste, without much detectable hop flavors. Smooths out into nice broad light malt taste with a bit of crispness. Pleasant, but something I would fight someone over if it was the last one in the cooler.
No real aroma. Slightly sweet taste, but very subdued. Not a bitter hop monster, and also doesn’t taste like a 9.4% beer. Shockingly not too much of anything.
Sweet, strong resiny hop aroma. Very smooth taste with a solid light malt base and some yeast sweetness, with the hops playing more of a background role. Clean taste, with mild perkiness.
4 out of 5 stars.
