Light, quaffable, fruity. Perfect for an early summer preview day. Thanks Zack G.

Super smooth. Just like the actual bourbon from the source barrels. Lighter in heft. Could drink a lot of these.

Last on my block to log. Finishes just a touch dank, but the citrus explosion on the palate is totally worth it. Premier.

Figured I would join the club today. One of the weirder IPAs I've had. Have had similar flavor profiles in fruited sours & stouts. Somehow it works though.

Oh, it's real. And it's spectacular.

2nd dip. In hindsight, I ignored the (unusual) instructions to drink straight from the can. Excellent aroma, then punch-you-in-the-nose aggressive hoppiness on the palate. Very good OG IPA.

Big beer for a non-stout. Pecan profile goes very well with the oak from the barreling. Sweet, but not over the top.

Lawdy, lawdy, these Ghosts is taaaaasty! No matter which shops are involved. Despite some mosaic in the bill, this is hit with enough other good stuff to render it insignificant. Winner.

Finally! Don’t know how long I’ve been waiting to get a decent Scotch out of this shop. BA might be the key…as it is with many beers.

Pretty (boozily) good, but honestly expected a bit more. Somewhat muddled flavors. The shepherds haven't quite nailed down BWs like they have stouts. Happy Easter Untappd peeps!

Another solid, if not memorable, stout in this series. Consolation beer for the Warriors' loss.

Purchased at The Stillery

Generous share. Definitely needs to warm a bit to open up. Very oakey on nose & palate, with a soothing vanilla overtone. Not premier overall, but very solid. We'll call it a victory beer for the Warriors.

A robust porter, but the cinnamon & coffee go a touch over the top for me. Better at the beginning, but got a little much for me by the end.

You get what you pay for. Free howler from Drunk Uncle Saturday. Admittedly, long in the tooth at this point. Not sure it would have been substantially better fresh. A free tick is a tick.

No Guinness on hand today, so this'll have to do. Super boozy. Also super oakey. Perhaps just a half notch too high on both, but still very good.

So pillowy soft. So easy to drink. Delicious.

This one seems to swing fairly substantially from vintage to vintage. Not really getting any coconut from this version. Mostly just chocolatey. Still good, but at the low end of the OMWM scale.

How deep does the rabbit hole go? Pretty darn deep, if it can get me to like a mosaic brew this much. Surprised a quint is only 14%. Serious malt backbone to stand up to this much hoppage. Hope they make something like this again.

I might be the last person on earth to have had this one. Initial pull is good, but I didn't love the cinnamon/chile finish so much. Blasphemy, I know.

This was great. Excellent fig & molasses notes. Big Boy Beer.
