Who's been drinking this

2025 release
Boozy, sweet, caramel, slightly tart. There's fruitiness in the lingering aftertaste. As usual, it's a lot, but it's nice.
2025 release
2023 release
Extremely sweet; so sweet that I thought I had gotten some other beer by mistake.
2023 release
Tasty but raw. Lots of booze, malt, caramel. Wears its strength on its sleeve.
unknown release
Foamy thick stout with a medium-brown head. Clear bourbon on the nose and in the flavor, but balanced out by a malt-ball chewiness. Dry finish with a bit of tackiness left on the back of the throat, but a very solid, straightforward bourbon stout.
