I am a beer aficionado and love all varieties of this liquid goodness. I was an admin on Ratebeer under the same username, but previously known as "HuskerTan". Same username on Untappd.

A- Light purple color, hazy liquid, light pink head.

A- Grape, blueberry, bright.

F- Grape, blueberry, tart.

T- Light body, average texture, medium carbonation, slightly sour finish.

O- Basically tasted like grape kool-aid with a hint of blueberry. Fairly sweet. Almost cider like. I didn't love it but I suppose I could see people being a fan of this one.

Bottle.

A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, tan head.

A- Coconut, vanilla, chocolate, mild coffee, nutty, sweet.

F- Coconut, fudge, vanilla, subtle hazelnut, mild barrel, sweet.

T- Full body, thick texture, average carbonation, sweet finish.

O- Sweet as expected. Loads of coconut, probably more than all the other adjuncts combined. Vanilla came through, hazlenut added a pleasant roasted nut flavor and coffee was actually a bit weak overall. Definitely a sweet fudge candy bar aspect. Good stuff. Honestly, wouldn't know it was barrel aged if it wasn't on the label.

Bottle.

A- Dark brown, opaque liquid, no head.

A- Cinnamon, fig, brown sugar, booze.

F- Cinnamon, figs, boozy, caramel, light vanilla.

T- Full body, average texture, light carbonation, boozy finish.

O- A big beer and loads of cinnamon, Honestly, I think this combination of flavors would be better in a stout rather than a barleywine. It's good but it's too cinnamon forward and a bit boozy for me to love it. As it warms it did release more of a bun like flavor.

Can.

A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head.

A- Malt, biscuit, mild smoke.

F- Malt, mineral, mild smoke, grains, corn husk.

T- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, malty finish.

O- Really tasty and very crushable. Smoke is absolutely there but not meaty and not the only noticeable aspect, it's relatively mild actually. A nice smoked mineral seltzer water trait if you will. Enjoyed this one.

Bottle.

A- Gold color, hazy liquid, white head.

A- Bright, soft citrus, pear, apricot, faintly woodsy.

F- Green grapes, lemon, soft wood, subtle apricot, mild pear, faint florals.

T- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, refreshing finish.

O- Slightly bright and lovely. Easy to drink with lots of soft tropical and stone fruit tones but mostly white or green grapes. A faint woody flavor whispers in the background. Solid.

Bottle.

A- Gold color, hazy liquid, white head.

A- Oak, funk, lemon, white pepper, sourdough.

F- Acidic, lemon, funk, oak, white pepper.

P- Medium body, average texture, medium carbonation, acidic finish.

O- Highly acidic and quite fizzy. Lots of white vinegar and peppery notes. Liked it less as it warmed. Just didn't do it for me. Have been less than impressed with Casey's as I continue to have them. Not sure they meet the hype for me.

Bottle.

A- Deep dark brown color, opaque liquid, brown head.

A- Chocolate, vanilla.

F- Chocolate, vanilla, faint spice, mild sweetness.

T- Full body, slightly thin texture, slightly fizzy carbonation, slightly unbalanced finish.

O- Honestly I expected more. The base beer is better than this one. Not nearly as complex as I thought, maybe the vanilla hides too much? Solid beer but the abraxas bottles I've had this year just haven't been as good as what I've had in the past. Could be better for the price and name.

Can.

A- Black color, black liquid, minimal brown head.

A- Mild soy, mild whisky barrel, chocolate, vanilla frosting, faint mint.

F- Mint leaves, chocolate sauce, soy sauce, slightly sweet, burnt marshmallow.

T- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish.

O- I hate mint chocolate as a flavor combination, but for some reason it works for me in beers. Particularly with Perennial and Side Project so STL brewers are doing something right. Really well balanced with mint and a vanilla that goes between a frosting and marshmallow like flavor. Sweet but not cloying. A bit of soy/umami going on as well. Barrel is there but in the slightest way and definitely helps stabilize everything else going on. Well done for sure.

Can.

A- Black color, black liquid, brown head.

A- Espresso, earthy, roasty, cocoa, subtle whipped cream.

F- Earthy, vegetal, roasty, espresso, slightly bitter, cream, sweet.

T- Full body, creamy texture, average carbonation, roasty finish.

O- A full bodied espresso in beer form. I love coffee beers but this was borderline too much. A unique blend of earthy and sweet. A bit of sweet cream that comes through to cut the bitter. It was tasty but a pint was a bit much.
