Rick Van Eck is drinking a Black Butte XXXIV by Deschutes Brewery at JL Beers
Ordered this and thought I’d tried it but that was the 2023 version. Have tried almost every one for years and all are exceptional. This is no exception-dark chocolate (think 80% cacao) and cherry on the back end. Superb!

Rick Van Eck is drinking a Gummies Fruit Punch IIPA by SweetWater Brewing Company at Untappd at Home
Ok, tastes like Hawaiian Punch, I’ll give them that. But when I want a beer, I don’t want Hawaiian punch. Sweetwater makes great beer, but they should leave the fruity flavors to the e-cigarette companies. Does not really work with beer.

Warm, low carbonation, caramel, sweet, and boozy. Not QUITE as good as I Got it at Ray’s, but an excellent example of the style!
