Caramel, plum, spice. I'm running out of nuance in my taste buds, but this is delicious.

So mellow but just a tad of spice in there to make it lively. Perfect for a cold December night. Reminds one of the brighter days ahead. Liquid hope you might say.

Musty, funky, with a yeasty soreness and medium high bitterness.

A really nice concoction; first taking an inky quad with round plum notes and good barrel character, and mixing it with kind of the best ginger beer flavor. Basically "plum" up my alley. I wish I'd saved more of the bottle for myself.

Very lightly banana with very few other Belgian characteristics... Some top bitterness and cereal funk. A really nice beer.

Raisin-date bread, a little balanced towards clove. Muddled and a little insipid in flavor. Quad-like, no real tartness. Wasn't really a big fan.

Dark and boozy. Not really much else there for me .

Understated sweetness with a bitter tartness. Kind of like bitter cherry juice. No sour taste to speak of. I'm really not sure how to rate this . Very song when you take a big pull .

Light bodied sour. Delightful to drink. Finishes very smooth. Seek this out.

Unabashed molasses and candi sugar sweetness, with hints of sweet rum. No sharpness or bitterness, this is a confection through and through - though it somehow avoids being cloying. Really delicious!

Nice yeast flavor with some nice spice. The finish is almost acridly bitter, though, and it builds up. I liked it, but probably couldn't drink too much of it.

Very proeminent yeast flavors and bitterness.

The winner of the day, this beer has a strong chocolate / mild coffee fragrance & flavor with a lush, creamy mouthfeel. Smooth barrel and bourbon finish it off. Absolutely delicious!

The perfect expression of coffee flavore in a beer.

The color is really nice, so is the aroma but the bitterness given by the frankinense does not complement thte taste like bretts or hops, it seems out of place. Makes the beer very mediciny.

Sweet, but not cloying, thick and deeply smooth. Always an excellent stout, and aged, even moreso.

I usually think Belgians are adequate, but this one was actually pretty good.

So this smelled really, really good like molasses and honey from my childhood back on the farm. I don't like beer so this tasted beery with a side of cough syrup mixed with molasses. Literally just want this to be a candle for me to smell.

Rich tangy-sweet bourbon-barreled woody smell, syrup hints. Tangy body and fiery burn of liquor. Chocolate finish.

Lots of cherry and chocolate, cleaner than others I've had. Doesn't show its booziness too much.

It smells like all of its 16% ABV and looks like dark toffee, but the flavor is supple and unbelievably smooth for something so strong. Lots of molasses and rounded plum flavor that manages to be very fruity, even tangy, without disturbing the overall smoothness. Clean finish. Stickee Monkee, with more complexity.

Tart, but not nearly as tart as Spontaneous Cheer, and definitely more towards cherry, this beer has a strong, boozy undercurrent that is overt in the fragrance but masked by the sourness in flavor. However, you always sense it's there, and it feels out of balance. Flavor profile tends toward oak wood and sugary quad. I do think it suffers in direct comparison to the Cheer.

Tart with qualities of fresh stone fruit and buttery wild notes. The really impressive thing about this beer is the hugely sour long tail that persists in the mouth long after the liquid is gone. It's a challenge, but also really good - my favorite of the night.

Very bitter, the glass was awesome?

Tobacco/espresso flavors, clean, no off-flavors lingering

Big boozy DIPA

Fizzy start. Butterscotch and maple syrup finish.

Sharp distinction between the dried fruit and caramel opening and the distinctive, vegetal liquor twang of tequila at the end. Nowhere near as weird or smoky as the same brewery's Agave Maria, which is good. This tasted refined, if not wholly organic.

Woodsy smooth bourbony with a butterscotch finish.

Molasses and bourbon recall Berserker, although the body is drier and thinner. Good flavor, with some wood astringency to close, although the finish is very clean, considering. Bitterness builds. Not in the tippy-top of its class, but still a rare treat.

In celebration of 1,000 unique beers, a special one. The vintage was rubbed off of the bottle, unfortunately, but this bottle was a gift from last year. Thanks, Alex! The immediate comparison is with Stickee Monkee - lots of toffee and plum and wood. This was a bit more tannic and the finish quite dry, which I think puts this lower in sheer enjoyment, but it was complex, very tasty, and worth sipping slowly.

Malt leads on this IPA setting up a medium/heavy body. A heavy citrus flavor and some resin follow, but it's not as potent as palate wrecker or a triple. Still a heavy beer, but easy to note hop flavors without being overpowered. This is as heavy as I think an IPA can be while still being drinkable, and as such it's a great double!

Probably couldn't get further from the Agave Maria than this. Clear bourbon in the nose, as well as a candy-sweet coolness reminiscent of an Andes coconut dinner mint. Clear raisin on the back end, though I didn't detect any chili. Could have been cloying, but instead is just very sweet. Again, a beer to enjoy in small doses.

Frankly, this smelled bizarre - vegetal and smoky like an autumn leaf fire after a rainy day. That carries over to the taste, but there is also an unexpected overt sourness to the beer that brings balance in addition to emphasizing its overall weirdness. Intruiging (in a good way), but a sipping beer for small doses, I think.

Good flavor but overly carbonated.

I liked that one a lot! That head though....

No timid Belgian Pale here, with a strong kick of alcohol and Belgian spice (namely peppercorn). There is a sharp bitterness at the back end, which actually helps to balance this out. The head is formidable, for sure.

A super tasty straight stout, malty and deep, without crossing over into the good-but-almost-syrupy intensity of even higher gravity brews like World Wide and Mephistopheles.

When you want the canonical stout

Nicely malty with a roasted coffee taste.

Great brown. Caramel on the mouth, leading to chocolate and coffee beer

A saison without any overwhelming flavors - none of yeast, hops or anything else dominate. Balanced but a bit boring - not poorly done but doesn't really push any boundaries. The hops are slightly more obvious than in other saisons though.

Strong hit of Bourbon, very promising, but the flavor is a bit over-sweet and somewhat too woody, finishing on the cloying, sour side. It's not bad, but there's a lot better in this category.

Amazing, creamy, bourbon-sweet stout-ish beer, with tons of complexity and -- oh, that nose! Mmmm.

Malty fresh scottish ale. Easily drinkable with layers of flavor.

Nice farmhouse ale, with spices and multiple flavors.

The most pumpkin-beery beer of the flight, with a good mix of pie spice and pumpkin complementing the light Belgian base. Definitely tasty, but the body was really thin & I found myself wishing for a little more... something. Slightly bitter on the finish.

Smells of spice and raisin. Definitely feels like a quad in the mouth, creamy with foam, rich hot chocolate and cinnamon. The flavor gets drier over time and ends with a kind of dried fruit / milk powder tartness. Not sure I tasted chile in there.

Soapy raisin smell. Bit of a acidic burn on the back of the tongue. Some nice heat comes through and the body has a involved flavor that does so by not being thick. Finishes with a nice raisin flavor.

A Belgian dark ale with a whole wall of flavor hitting you in the face. A little bit too much to process for me.

Alcohol mid-taste. Busy flavors.

I don't know what this was supposed to be but I'm pretty sure Lager is not a part of it. Starts like a coffee stout and then dissipates to nothingness. The finish was just a complete absence of anything, except maybe a faint rustling of ghost biscuits in the air.

Watery taste. Bitterness in the end that quickly comes and goes and a metallic presence.

Lies. This is not a lager.

If you're going to claim the description "Bourbon Barrel Imperial Stout" then you are going to have to be better that this. There are just too many great beers in this category. Not well integrated flavors.

It would have been a 5 if the bottle did not come with a snot loogie

Lots of bready, Belgian yeast on the nose and tongue combined with a peppery, exotic spice profile that works really well with the lemongrass. The strongly tart, dry finish kept me from fully enjoying the beer, though.

Smells sour, wet leaves. Soft taste but somewhat sour.

Very robust, super-thick mouthfeel, not unlike hot chocolate -- darker & thicker than most porters (or stouts!). Quite a bit of bitterness from coffee and cocoa, but unlike most beers this dark, there doesn't seem to be much from the roasted malts.

Thickish in taste, roasty bitterness present.

Pours thick, black & strong, but very, very smooth. Bourbon, toffee and alcohol are all very balanced but the alcohol will get you at more than, say, 8oz at once. A sipper for sure. Tastes? Like a mellower Parabola - OMG. At $17 for a 375mL bottle, tho, a rare pleasure at best.

A mild stout with a strong wood aftertaste. Leaves your mouth feeling like you're sucking on wood chips.

I think I'm just tired of this style. Strong wood and coffee notes. Yeti-like.

Toasty and thick in taste without being thick.

Awesome, smooth, bourbon flavors with maltiness. Very very similar to Fred from the Wood (did a side by side taste test).
