2025 version. Aromas are citrus, resin, floral, malt. Flavors are similar to nose, with citrus, stone fruit and malt coming out more. Really good.

Aromas are dark malt, roast, cocoa and maybe a hint of cinnamon. Flavors are similar to nose with cinnamon coming out more. Moderately sweet. No sign of heat. Just as I was finishing this review I picked up the barest hint of heat in the finish. Wish it was more.

Tap at Triple Taproom. Really sweet, really heavy. Maple and coffee come through strong. Great morning Stout to share among friends or yourself. A little syrupy, but bold and rich and flavorful too. Like an even more sugary, pronounced KBS. Good for what it is.

Tap at Triple Taproom MKE. Really nice interplay between the big malts and the big barrel. Captures the English Barleywine flavor while building on it with barrel depth. Big obviously, but rather drinkable. Good.

Sampled from the tap at Inventors Brewpub. Pours black with a gray head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has dark grains and boozy bourbon with a touch of chocolate underlying. Flavor has a great bourbon note supported by roasted malts and slightly bitter dark grains.

Are almost our blend of caramel malt, citrus, resin. Flavors are similar to nose adding in touches of stone fruit and melon. Leaning sweet with enough bitter and soft carbonation to balance. Not bad not great.

Pours a hazy amber-orange color with a medium thin off-white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Grassy hops, fruit and malt aromas. Medium body with flavors of grassy hop, citrus and roast malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Above average overall.

Tap at 3 sheep's. Awkward to outright bad aroma. Serious big barrel tarrarel territory..when barrel aging gets gross..Picks up bright hairspray for grape mist. Leathery, odd, not that good. Lemon is wholly undesirable.

Tap at 3 Sheeps. Malt tone isn't really suitable for the style. An interesting enough lager, but not to style.

Tap at 3 Sheeps. Rich, thick, syrupy chocolate Stout. Cocoa powder, chocolate syrup, cacao. Nice flavors but too thick, no balance.
