Old Trestle Smoked Brandy Eclipse (2024) by FiftyFifty Brewing Co.

Another solid Eclipse release. The brandy barrels are a very different take on barrel aging. It’s faintly sweet but that’s okay.

Thunder Crunch by Martin House Brewing Company

OK…this one is pretty dang tasty. Milk chocolate and caramel up front. I’m not sure that I detect any rice but I can’t say I miss it. As my friend Philip says, it does resemble a Kit Kat bar in alcoholic liquid form.

The PastryArchy Chocolate Cherry Cake by DuClaw Brewing Company

Think dark chocolate rather than milk chocolate. The cherry lightens things up just a bit. Another good Pastry/Arcy release.

Key Lime Pie by Martin House Brewing Company

It does have a key lime pie vibe to it, perhaps not as sweet as typical. Very refreshing on a hot day I’d expect.

Confection Affliction: Maple Coffee Doughnuts by Westbrook Brewing Co.

I got more of an espresso bitterness than anything else. I didn’t get maple at all.Expected more of a balance of bitter and sweet. All that said? It’s a very good coffee stout to me.
