Matt Potenski is drinking a Mass Action (2025) by Bottle Logic Brewing at Bolero Park Beer Garden
This was pretty tasty. Solid roasty stout base. Solid clean banana flavor that didn’t go to an artificial note. Marshmallow brought mild sweetness and created a nice transition to barrel notes. Bourbon flavor worked well w banana Cohesive & flavorful brew
Matt Potenski is drinking a Bourbon Barrel Muertos Sleeping Forever by The Veil Brewing Co. at Bolero Park Beer Garden
Another solid variant of the Sleeping Forever stout. Good roast up front that moves to solid dark chocolate flavors. The ancho chilis come through w a light kick to them. Chili’s pair w chocolate well and vanilla smoothes this out. Solid barrel finish.

This was solid. Had a good roast profile w light chocolate notes. Body was decent. Mild adjuncts you got light walnut w a touch of cinnamon. The rye barrel had nice presence. Mild rye spice w a light kiss of booze. Overall had decent flavor. Not bad.
Matt Potenski is drinking a Bourbon Barrel Aged WATTS For Breakfast by Source Brewing at Bolero Park Beer Garden
This was pretty solid. Decent roast profile w a good amount of maple flavor. Maple syrup may have thinned this out a bit. Blueberry tones are mild. Vanilla smoothes this out. Has some sweetness to it. Overall solid pastry stout but not a show stopper.













Huge rich, thick & sweet malt profile. This drinks a most spirit-like in many ways. Has an almost maple syrup type sweet note towards the finish (could be honeyish flavor from Pineau barrel). Has great depth to it w dark fruit notes, oak spice, & vanillin
