What else members are drinking
Two years on since the last time I had this, it can only be mellower. It’s is extraordinarily mellow. Lightly sweet, the faintest hint of dried plum, a burnt toffee finish.
Malty, molasses, hoppy. Hints of herbal candy; medicinal. Smooth and homey.
Thickish, very chocolate, with a nice, after-dinner kind of consistency. Reminded me a lot of an Andes Mint without the mint, strangely.
Fairly bitter and alpha forward, but clear honey notes and cereal on the way to the finish.
Fizzy, cherry up-front on the top of the flavor going into a ong cacao finish. Prickly finish with very light smoke.
Sweetish, juicy IPA, extremely cloudy. Grapefruit-forward. Acrid but light finish.
Roast, coffee-forward, slightly thinner than your average barrel-aged stout. Caramel booze, believable as Basil Hayden. I like the base beer here, and I like this barrel-aged version.
Super fragrant hop opening with a clear nutmeg and clove poking through. Sustained sweetness and smoothness from the lactose. Surprisingly enjoyable.
Funk up front but mostly turns into a candy fruit sweetness. Dragonfruit and strawberry jam? I went back and forth whether I was vibing with it or not through the course of the glass.
Clean, roast, bready. Dark pretzel, caramel sheen. Really very tasty.
Tastes like someone took a caramel-forward winter ale and hit it with a huge dose of apicot. It's nice but it's definitely going to depend on how much you like apricot, because it's overwhelming.
Earthy coffee flavors with a sweet, caramel finish. Feels like a nightcap. Reminds me a lot of the barrel-aged coffee I got at Starbucks Reserve Roastery a few years ago. The quality of this beer varies year to year but this year's is nice.
Candy fruit up front, appropriately tropical but kind of stays sweet.
Yet another aspect of these spices, in this case there's a fruity-tartness that opens and subverts most of the perfumey overtones that this beer has suffered from in the past. What it does do is make it very cola-like, spice-forward; ginger, cinnamon?
