Jaek Wrad is drinking a Japanese Green Tea IPA (2021) by Stone Brewing
Bottle
Mostly some hop and sweet backbone with green tea wisps before and maybe lingering after. I mean, green tea isn’t a flavor I’m super familiar with, but I think that’s what I’m getting. It’s interesting.

Jaek Wrad is drinking a Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) by Founders Brewing Co.
Love it. I’m sure it’s the coffee, plus chocolate notes that are more dark chocolate and less sweet, but I love how big this is without being cloying. A bitter edge (in a good way) immediately endears me, almost woody or whisky-y. Great.

Jaek Wrad is drinking a Stone Supremely Self-Conscious Ale by Stone Brewing
Pretty neat. I haven’t had too many black IPAs, so it’s still a novelty that what looks like a stout is so clearly an IPA once I take a sip. Also, pretty sure this bottle says “self-righteous,” not self-conscious….just to be clear.

Jaek Wrad is drinking a Backwoods Bastard by Founders Brewing Co.
More ale-y / malty (maybe?) than the Boulevard quad I just had. Also less sweet and syrupy, but still plenty full, obv.

Seems like it has to have actual bourbon in it. Like, poured in. Sharp, sweet bourbon tang is smellable and very much tastable. I like bourbon, and I like the beer that is buried in this bourbon, so I’m not complaining. But there’s not much beer, fyi
