Have always loved porters and stouts. In recent years I have grown to really enjoy European and American lagers.

500 ml Thank you Tfontana on the share! Aroma is cinnamon, dough like malt, cinnamon. The flavor is might have some cinnamon. Like a boat load of cinnamon. Traces of sugar and chocolate. Body is ok. I mean… if you like Fried dough with cinnamon this is your bag!

16 oz can. Thank you Tfontana on the share! Aroma is cinnamon, cherry pie filling, and a hint of vanilla. Flavor follows with a very mild salinity under all of the adjuncts. Flavor is similar to a cherry pie. Cinnamon and vanilla in the finish.

375 ml bottle, 2023 vintage. Thank you Clrakvv. Aroma of walnut, toasted almonds. Flavor shows all the roasted nuts with soft chocolate. Nice flavor. Yet, alcohol shows itself just a touch. A touch sweet. Still a nice drink.

375 ml bottle, 2023 vintage. Thank you Clarkvv. Aroma is rich vanilla, Willet bourbon, cake batter. Wow!! This is reminiscent of old school BCBS vanilla.
Huge rich vanilla with brownie batter, and dough. Thich rich body with a decent Willett barrel in the finish. Jeez!!

330 ml bottle, # 421 / 600. Aroma is nice natural raspberries with a hint of lactic funk. Flavor has a nice amount of acid and oak to balance the jammy berries. Lightly tart, lightly sour, and mildly acidic. Pretty good.

500 ml shared by Tom! Aroma is mild coffee, light chocolate and a touch of dough like malt. Flavor follows. Maybe a trace of sugar. Alcohol is hidden. Body is full and thick. A nice stout.

500 ml shared by Tom! Aroma is well, traces of pineapple with soft char. The coconut is forward and does show some pineapple throughout. Then the softest traces of barrel. Mild spice hints in the finish. Very unique!!

16 oz. Can. Thank you Clarkvv. Aroma is mild coffee, mild vanilla bean, sugar. Flavor follows. This stout has certainly fallen from grace. Not what it used to be 10 years ago. Super thin body and barrel is not really here.

16 oz. Can. Thank you Clarkvv. Aroma is vanilla, decent coffee, mild dark malts. The body is better on this than the non-vanilla variant. Yet, no barrel or bourbon can be found here. Still has some raw sugar. Again, just ok.

16 oz. Can. Thank you Tom! Aroma is mild coffee, weak barrel. Chocolate. Flavor follows. Unfortunately, the brewery has sacrificed the body of this base stout. It seems a lot thinner than it should be. Ends on oak. Just ok.
