What if Cherry Coke, but a beer? Seriously, though, it's not cough-syrup like, and it's not really an authentic cherry flavor either. Once I had the realiziation I definitely couldn't untaste it.

Thick, mellow, chocolate and toffee.

You get a hit of that mezcal right up front - smoke, a little brine. This is otherwise a balanced stout, not too sweet, a bit tacky on the finish, with a mellow vanilla-chocolate flavor that results in a long finish. Strong!

This is definitely on the dessert side, but any raw edges are mellowed out by smooth, buttery caramel. Yes, please.

Way too sweet… much better coffee presence than the Dead Man’s Hands but also a candy-like coconut-maple syrup quality.

It’s too sweet like how Starbucks is too sweet.

Sweet and light, chocolate, whiskey, mellow finish but not without a strong alcohol flavor.

Sweet and jammy but not tart. Doesn’t have the body or roast I’d expect from a Baptist variant so the ellipsis is in the pie here. Strong, though, with a dry, bitter aftertaste.

This was good, and the mouthfeel was right - not too thick, but flavorwise probably a bit too sweet. You'd have to like marzipan a lot, I think. Didn't taste the salt - primarily a cacao-coconut into marzipan kind of thing going on here - and for me, not much wood.

I’m reminded of Homer Simpson asking Apu, “what do you have in the way of a dessert burrito?”

Strong smell of molasses, coffee, and cocoa. Strong fizzy forward. Acidic clean body. Was worried that it'd be too sweet but so far this is like a toasty pecan pie, sorta.

Good over vanilla ice cream...

More immediately enjoyable than the Hazelnut Vanilla Latte variant. There's a rich chocolate scent and flavor that really meets the expectations of the name.

Nothing exceptional, at least in this company. But tasty. Light, balanced.

Having this midday was probably a mistake. It’s thick. Like molasses. That said, it was still a tasty meal.

This is a really good sour. The IPA is very much in the background.

Smells deliciously of coconut, no doubt the dominant flavor. This is an unabashedly sweet beer, very dessert-like. Light coffee slightly counteracts it, but it's still very intense. This is a hair less balanced than the basically-perfect coconut B-Bomb, but it's definitely delicious.

It's special. The bourbon picks up as the quad leaves. Incredibly well balanced. Some oak shows through at the end.

Notably sweet but still somehow well-balanced... like a dessert cinnamon coffee drink, but never gets too rich to enjoy. My memory tells me this is less complex but less overwhelming cousin to coffee cinnamon b-bomb, but we'll put that to the test soon enough.

From way back in the log. "Sour?" I had written.

So... surprisingly, this was a non barrel-aged beer made with barrel-aged coffee beans, which was weird. I don't think the bourbon came through, but maybe it did in the sheer mellowness of the coffee flavor in this beer. I don't like nitro, but I still loved this beer, with its creamy finish.

Quite sweet AND bitter. Raspberry flavors are quite strong but don't really mix well with the bitterness. Gets better once your mouth is used to the bitterness.

Pretty good with some interesting vegetal flavors. No traces of the Christmas spices I despise so much in pumpkin beers.

This was awesome. If you love Black Raven's Pour les Oiseaux (which I do!) this is all of the same things - vinous, buttery, funky, malty. Perhaps a tiny touch sweeter, maybe a little more fruit, but definitely the same ballpark, and -- I hope -- easier to get a hold of as well.

A bit strong, 11.2%abv. Fruity scent, but the taste is more beer than i might have expected. Malty, with a mild, barrel aged character.

Tamed pumpkin spice flavors. Has additional herbal flavors.

Lots of coffee on the nose, and a roast, dry coffee flavor as well. It's not a lot like other barrel aged stouts, in that it's more interested in pushing a great coffee flavor than boozy sweetness, and that's something to appreciate.

Gingersnap smell. Fakes cloying sweet at start then goes slightly soured pumpkin pie filing. Good body but gets tangy and tacky at the end.

Not bad, nothing special though. Pretty crisp,

Hoppy and crisp

It was just a small taster pour, but it was a nice reminder of this beer that exceeded my memory of it. Maybe because it was a different coffee. Much drier than Barry.

Nitro IPA? What has this world come to? A little too hoppy for me, but the citrus afternotes were awesome. You need to be in a mood for a rich IPA for this guy.

Basically coffee, with a slight hint of beer.

A well crafted and well balanced imperial stout but I don't have a taste for coffee.

Strong coffee on the nose, with a big hit of bourbon. Flavorwise it's very sweet, almost on the edge of too much, with a thin body and decent amounts of everything else - coffee, wood, bourbon, and chocolate. I'd love to try one of the other releases, since they use a different coffee each time.

Yes!

Wet wood taste. Alcohol burn off with espresso flavor. Thickish.

Burnt Coffee

Oooh. Very nice, mellow and clean. Nice chocolate and subtle spice finish in a thin but flavorful porter.

Very Belgian, but with a faint sweet caramel finish, maybe from the wood? The smoke is not overpowering but still feels a little at odds with the flavor. I don't get the Scotch Whisky that others talk about, but it was decent.

Pleasant, tripel-esque. Peach flavor is faint at best.

You would think that a gluten-free beer made from sweet potatoes and molasses would be awesome. You would be horribly, bitterly, tongue-scrapingly wrong.
