Drank 16 oz of Quiet Space by Other Half Brewing Co.May 31st, 2020

Don’t taste vanilla at all. No distinguishable flavors. Not my favorite from them.
Drank 16 oz of Barrel Aged Pastrytown - Waffle by Other Half Brewing Co. (2020)May 31st, 2020
2020-05-31
Lots and of maple sweetness. Not as complex as I was hoping with Willet on the label and for $40.

Super smooth, complex, boozy, chocolatey, and delicious. Left it a bit warmer than usual and that allows the flavors I love to shine right away.

Mmmm. Welcome back my old friend. This is the BC I fell in love with but haven’t had since 2014. Dark, malty, bourbony booziness. Yum
Drank 12 oz of KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout) by Founders Brewing (2019-02-13)May 29th, 2020
2020-05-29
Really good. Lots of coffee at the front, followed by tons of dark chocolate. No loss of flavor after 1 year.
2020-05-06
Loads of dark chocolate with a hint of coffee. Finish is roasted malt and lingering dark chocolate. Held up well.
2019-03-16
Really good until the very end when bitterness sets in and becomes the only thing lingering on the palette.

Bourbon County Vertical 2023

Starting to take on some aged characteristics, but not in a bad way.
2022-12-04
Bourbon County Vertical 2022
2022-04-07
This is really holding up very well. Lots of barrel, smooth/silky mouthfeel, and lots of chocolate and roasted malt.

Great fresh.
Drank 16 oz of Bourbon County Brand Vanilla Stout by Goose Island Beer Co. (2018-09-04)May 25th, 2020
2021-12-12
Bourbon County Vertical 2021 Still tons of vanilla.
2021-06-21
Crazy amount of vanilla.
2020-05-25
Each one I open has a varying amount of vanilla. This one is like chugging a bottle of vanilla extract; a bit heavy.
2020-03-24
Vanilla is still very prominent. The original recipe comes in with rich chocolate and malt on the finish.
2018-11-25
Oh wow it that a lot of vanilla that hits right away! Yum. Then the really dark malty, chocolatey flavor from the stout comes in, followed by the booziness of the bourbon barrels. Excellent!
Drank 16 oz of Bourbon County Brand Coffee Barleywine by Goose Island Beer Co. (2018-09-27)May 25th, 2020
2021-05-09
This is better now than I remember it when it was fresh. Lots of coffee, good barleywine base, and lots of dark malt.
2020-05-25
Still not worthy of the Bourbon County moniker, but it’s pretty good. Lots of coffee still, even after 2.5 years. Might continue aging the rest, as I think it will get better.
2019-03-30
I get the sweet barleywine, but not the aroma of not the flavor of coffee.
2018-11-29
Coffee is very strong on the nose and palette. Taste gets darker as it sits. Very boozy. Don’t get the barleywine part of this. Bitter. Disappointed more than I already knew I would be.

Sadly not as good as 2016, which was not as good as 2015. This has an odd flavor profile and nose. Hoping my other bottles are better.

Nose is all coconut. Slightly sweet and loads of coconut in a really good way. Outstanding.
Drank 16 oz of Double Sunset - Ethiopian Yirgz by Other Half Brewing Co.May 17th, 2020
2020-05-17
To me the nose is off putting, but the flavor is good. Sweet with vanilla and coffee.

2018 was better. Very thin and boozy, caramel on the aftertaste. Missing the rich, roastiness and relaxed by warmth.
Drank 16 oz of Buku Mocha by Aslin Beer Company (2019)May 11th, 2020
2020-05-11
It’s pretty good. I think I liked it more the last time I tried it. Rather thin and just leaves a dark chocolate bitter taste on the tongue. Wouldn’t buy it again.
Drank 12 oz of Cassian Sunset by Central Waters Brewing Company (2016)May 10th, 2020
2021-01-19
Can definitely taste the age on it. Getting chocolate, coffee and cinnamon notes. Dark chocolate lingers long afterwards.
2020-05-10
This has lost a lot of its original character in 4 years. A bit of coffee, malt and a subtle cinnamon finish. Will have to try a 2018 for comparison.
2016-10-25
Yum
Drank 12 oz of CBS (Canadian Breakfast Stout) by Founders Brewing (2019-10-04)May 9th, 2020
2020-05-09
Lots of sweetness; almost too much. A hint of dark chocolate. Not getting much else flavor-wise. Perhaps when it warms, there will be more.
