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

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.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you. Canned 10/16/25. Aroma resembles soft grapefruit, oranges, and a weak cracker malt. I had to grade this on a slight curve due to the age of the can. Overall pleasant enough with plenty of citrus fruit on top of a light bread malt backbone. Slightly juicy texture with just a hint of astringent bitterness in the finish.

Bottle. Aroma is cinnamon, cake batter, bourbon. Flavor shows mellow bourbon throughout with subtle cinnamon throughout. Banana is here in the form of a “ granola “ hint. super smooth, velvety mouth feel. Bourbon cuts completely through the sweetness. Excellent!

Bottle. Aroma is brownie batter, peanut, almond. Flavor follows with a creamy/ velvety texture over the tongue. Almost to sweet. The bourbon does cut the sweetness but not totally. Pretty nice. Sweet for sure.
