tom is drinking a Dragon's Milk: Triple Mash (2024) by New Holland Brewing at Untappd at Home
Absolutely as phenomenal as the 2021 batch. The only changes that could raise it up to the unheard of (for me) scores of 4.75 or 5 would be A) some more viscosity, B) a touch less of the oaky sweetness and C) a sacrilegious aging in maple. Forget it. Buy.

tom is drinking The Wolf - Pecan, Coconut, And Vanilla by 3 Sheeps Brewing Company at Untappd at Home
This is an excellent BBA stout. Viscosity, adjuncts, booze all blend wonderfully. It’s a delight. The only things I’d see as improvement opportunities are the price and maybe a liiiittle more booze. Those are quibbles, though. I’ll be back for more.

tom is drinking a Black Gold by Central Waters Brewing Company at Untappd at Home
GREAT viscosity. Decent booziness. Not the smoke I’d love, but rather a little overly wooden sweetness that lends a sour quality that overpowers the rest of the palate. Some coffee, orange or chocolate notes would be welcomed. Still, a quality drink.

tom is drinking a Mail Order Bride by Bare Hands Brewery at Untappd at Home
Had a prevailing medicinal or antiseptic flavor right up front which eclipsed any other qualities it had. I will say it looked wonderfully viscous and I picked up some heat near the finish. It’s a shame that I can’t give this a proper review.

This is a great BBA. Viscous, really well integrated burn. The coconut is incredibly woven in and perhaps the best I’ve had. If I could change anything, I’d ease off the sweetness/barrel a tick or two. Great offering as is, though.
