Yum. Still good!

Yep. Still very nice. Really enjoy this one.

Just a very nice seasonal beer. Sightly sweet and fruity with a nice malt. One of those you just have to pick up each year when it comes out.

Enjoyed during my French class. Yum!

Maybe not quite as sweet as I remember, but still a bit too sweet for me. I do get some decent complexity though.

A nice barleywine, but certainly not the best I've had. It was quite sweet, actually. Nice whiskey/bourbon character, but a bit overly shrouded in sweetness. I'm glad I tried it, but I wouldn't seek it out again.

Very solid, for sure. I guess I was hoping for jaw-dropping, and it's not quite that. I'd buy it again though.

What the hell is this sorcery? So delicious! Obvious bitterness and piney hop notes with a malty backbone reminiscent of a barleywine. Yum!

Yummy!

Still the classic RIS. Shared with Kelsy, Jonathan, Natalie and Deanne June 2023

Always good. Always.

Yum! This is still one of my favorite RIS.

So good! Shared with Fred and Nohémie - but mostly Nohémie.

Very nice. Rich, malty, smooth, strong. Just what a RIS should be!

Held up very nicely with a little age. I love the base of this beer very much, and the balance is really excellent. I'm just not sure that the flavor profile is my favorite. Solid beer though.

Enjoyed for courage before my French class.

Shared on the deck with Deanne.

Shared with Deanne. Very decent, but not exceptional. Slight honey flavor, but I didn't love the hop profile. A little hop burn, too.

Just an incredible beer. So much complex flavor. Very sweet, for sure, and very thick, but so damn delicious.

Everything you want in a BBA stout. Plenty of booze nicely balanced by a wonderful dark stout bitterness. Very solid. Would definitely buy again. Very slightly sweet. Shared at fantasy football draft.

Interesting. Very familiar with Calamansi flavors, but I actually didn't get that much of it in this. General citrus, yes. Some interesting pithy bitterness. Glad I got to try it.
