Bottle (10/9/25) from CBC Liquors, Westford. Haven't had a Founders in a while. Lightest haze, amber-red, nice sparkle, thin head fading quickly to a ring, trace lacing. Aroma is strong dark fruit and bourbon; caramel as it warms. Taste is strong bourbon, dark fruit, late mild caramel. Smooth texture, average carbonation, finish as taste. Bourbon is dominant player here. No alcohol harshness, just the flavor and aroma. Drowns out the bock and cocoa nibs. Maybe this just needs to sit longer or maybe Founders' finest days are behind it.

Slightly cloudy gold with a three-finger head. Aroma is very hoppy with hints of grass and grains. Taste is also very hoppy and slightly boozy.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Porsche translucent gold with a decent white head. Aroma seems to be mango melon and citrus. It’s juicy and not quite dry but isn’t very sweet and there’s enough bitterness to balance it out. Flavor seems to be more passionfruit melon and perhaps a little citrus. Nice drink.

Bottle pours deep black with a thin tan head that quickly reduces to lace. The aroma promises roasted coffee which is revealed in the taste among subtle layers of dark bitter chocolate and more. A smooth silky texture leaves these flavors lingering until your next sip. Truly enjoyable.

Hazy pale yellow with large white head. Guava, passionfruit, lime, orange, biscuit malt, and grapefruit peel aroma. Lightly sweet tropical fruit, biscuit malt, and mildly bitter grapefruit peel flavor. Body light.

Bottle. Looks grand - black with a cm of dense mid-tan head. About as much freshly roasted hazelnut as coffee with threatening syrup behind. But no, it's not overwhelmingly sweet - roast kicks in to match the sweetness and mocha. The hazelnut is still very nice. Bitterness has to crash through a bit. Not a lot of evidence of Bourbon barrel. Good.

A perfect companion for the night. Personally, I have found this beer great and really powerful at the mouth, complex and rich in aromas like roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, vanilla, cacao, you get a side of barrel, oak, final touch with hop, 10.05.21, purchased at the sterk, tasting it at Epalinges.

A good option for the breakfast at monday with your children, why not? A solid and deep stout, this one is dry and mineral, roasted malt with a powerful note of coffee at the mouth like in Italy, after a little touch of vanilla and sweetnest, lovely, 21.06.21
