Spencer F is drinking an A Deal With The Devil - Double Oaked Vanilla Bean (2021) by Anchorage Brewing Company
So much vanilla. Slightly boozy yet not overbearing at all. Oak, caramel, bit of a dry finish, sherry, overall quality but wouldn't pay $50+ for a bottle.

Spencer F is drinking a Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout (2013) by Goose Island Beer Co.
Overall, not as bad as the last bottle I had last year; got better as it warmed up. Not much of distinct barrel character, dry chocolate, slightly green yet still pleasant coffee in background.

Spencer F is drinking a Rayon Vert (2012) by Green Flash Brewing Company
Overall not bad. Some bready funk, slight oxidation, floral.
