Donny BeermeSooner: Founders Porter is a world class Porter and a measuring stick for others. Just as advertised, dark and rich w a thin, dark tan head. Taste follows the nose w roast malts, a bit of coffee followed by sweet figs. Rich, smooth slightly viscous mouthfeel.

Nicely balanced Stout. The usual notes but none overpowering. Sweet notes up front and nice bitter notes at the back. Better than most. Would have another.

Donny BeermeSooner: While not bad, flavor profile off for a Belgian style Dubbel. Too sweet for the style. Reminded me of a cognac.

Waaaaay too sweet. Belgian style Quads are somewhat sweet but this was over the top. Overpowered the fruit notes. Check out a Trappistes Rochefort or St Bernardus as the standard. Carmel and plum, bread etc.

Block 15 generally does a nice job and their Papa Bear Brown checks the boxes for the style, English brown ale. Dark copper, thin head, taste follows the nose, sweet, malty w a dry finish, lightly hopped w faint citrus notes. Nice mouthfeel.
