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

8 oz draft. Aroma is a decent amount of peanut, roasted grain. Flavor is pretty strong for the the gravity. Nice peanut strength. Bolder body then I was expecting. Nice!

16 oz can. Aroma is a strong amount of boysenberry and vanilla. Flavor follows with maybe an essence of strawberries. The one thing that’s a little bit different about this one is the gritty , thicker mouth feel than the others I’ve tried in the series. Also, not a lot of tartness. Finish is sweet. Honestly, not sure cheesecake in any beer is a really great idea.

16 oz can. Murky brown color. Aroma is apricot, blackberry, plus a lot of plum. Plum is usually hard to pull off in any beer. There’s a quite a good amount of it throughout the flavor. Cinnamon + graham cracker is restrained which helps it also. Nicely tart finish. Very good for the style.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you Tom! Aroma and flavor are a carbon copy. Bold white grape, passionfruit, and a mild herb hint underneath the fruit. Also a huge malt body. Surprisingly, it doesn’t get too sweet. No flaws or alcohol found. Just a absolute wonderful display of Nelson Sauvin.

Bottle spilt two ways. Flavor is a wonderful marriage of coconut, brownie batter and hazelnut. Truly a Nutella candy bar with coconut flakes. Thick oily texture with alcohol totally hidden. Bourbon cuts through the sweetness. As I drank this I realized this maybe my very last Cycle brew. RIP Cycle Brewing Company ! I wish I would have made a second trip to Saint Petersburg, Florida! Your stouts were fantastic!

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you. Soft herb and citrus zest aromas with faint biscuit as it warms. Crisp and relatively clean on the palate. A little bit of a round mouthfeel rather than the bone dry, crisp mouthfeel on a lot of west coast IPAs. Pretty mellow which is what I prefer in the style.
