LCI. Still catching up on this fantastic share. This was quite good. No dry or cloying PB flavors in this one; think the combo of the PB and the dark chocolate gave this depth and yielded a truly nutty and a slightly creamy body. Fun one to drink. 4.4

LCI. This was very enjoyable, and I liked the permeation of the maple into the body and how well it worked with what were pretty damn amazing Willett barrel spice and dark chocolate flavors. Lots of body for the ABV and very well done overall. 4.35

LCI. Wow!!!...finally trying this, and it was 100% spot on w any hype attached to it. Maple was incredibly good and so well paired with the bourbon barrel flavors. The balance in this brew is ridiculously good and is incredibly approachable. 4.9

This was really tasty. The rich, tannin full dark berry notes I love with light marshmallow from meadowfoam honey and big maple bourbon barrel. Maple is clean w full bourbon sweetness & some oak spice. The dark berry base stands up to big barrel flavors.

This was pretty tasty. Really solid coffee flavor that integrated just about perfectly with base stout. Solid roast in malt profile melded into smooth coffee flavor. Coffee roast had mild espresso tones and was very smooth in roast delivery. Tasty stout.

Pretty solid BA adjunct stout. Solid roast w decent edge of chocolate notes. Mild peanut flavor blends into mild banana character before solid barrel finish. Mildly sweet bourbon w a touch of wood spice. Doesn’t go overly sweet. Solid adjuncts/barrel here

Really solid lambic. You definitely get a whiff of rhubarb in the nose. Rhubarb flavor is full in the sip w a lightly vegetal note and mild spiciness. Rhubarb pairs really well with the mild acidity of this sour. Sour level brings snap but drinks easy.

Really solid hazy TIPA. Good body& mouthfeel paired with a pleasing hop profile. Citrusy up front w some decent tropical fruit underneath. Mild candied orange mixes w grapefruit in the sip. Finish is fairly tropical w some mango & passionfruit. Very tasty

This was really tasty. Good body & mouthfeel w a lightly creamy texture. Hides the big ABV really well. Had some nice depth to the hop profile. Citrusy up front w some tropical fruit before a light dankness in the finish. Just drinks smooth. Very good.

Solid blueberry nose followed by big blueberry in the sip. A bit on the chunky side w lots of fruit & pectin in it. Rum barrel have this a mild sweetness in the finish. Overall the flavors were pretty on point just wish I wasn’t drinking gritty chunks.

This was pretty tasty. Rich & full BA barleywine. Brings the big caramel notes but goes almost to a deep molasses in the finish. Solid bourbon barrel w mild wood spice & some vanillin for depth. Light voodoo leathery note adds depth. Unapologetic & tasty

Pretty tasty haze here. Has a pretty complex profile. I get citrus up front with solid lime and mild lemon notes. Underneath is some tropical notes mixed with a light vinous edge. Really solid body & mouthfeel. All around tasty NEIPA w good hop profile.

I liked this one. Pretty classic malt forward English barleywine. Mild caramel w edges of toffee in the malt profile. Pretty smooth cognac barrel w nice vinous notes and slight boozy kick. Malt and cognac play very well together. Pretty tasty BA bwine.

Sweet heavily flavored stout. Big strawberry gum type aroma in the nose. Decent roast that loves to solid chocolate notes. Big but somewhat artificial strawberry flavoring dominates the middle. Sweet marshmallow in the finish. Not bad but not my favorite

LCI. Big mango and passionfruit flavors up front, and I liked the balanced citrus and tart notes that made this brew pretty easy to put down. Oak was light but present, mostly background to everything else. Overall was a little light but solid. 4.1

LCI. Think this was my favorite of the 2024 Super Rad set. The nuttiness in the body was really nice in particular. Maple and chocolate were nice and balanced with the nuts, nailing the concept nicely. Light spice from the barrels as well. 4.45

This was really tasty. Typical WW motor oil thick stout. Def wasn’t as sweet as expected which really helped it hit the choc/pb cup flavor. Good roast moved to nice chocolate notes. Solid peanut butter flavor - not dry/astringent Barrel added lt sweetness

This was pretty solid. Good roast in the malt profile. Really full cognac flavor. Lightly sharp but pretty drinkable. Mild vinous character. Roast had a dark cocoa powder edge that worked as a nice counterpoint to the cognac barrel. I liked this stout.

I liked this stout. Really good roast profile that worked seamlessly into solid chocolate notes. Peanut butter note was pretty mild. Not too sure I got any “cheesecake” flavor but there was a little amorphous sweetness. Did drink creamy tho. Solid barrel.

Another pretty sweet AC stout. Solid chocolate notes come out after roast profile. Mild nuttiness through the middle. Marshmallow & lactose create really sweet profile. Big bourbon barrel lightly cuts sweetness. Good overall flavors but a tad too sweet.
