Bourbon County Brand Eagle Rare 2-Year Reserve Stout (2023) by Goose Island Beer Co.

Alec K is drinking a Bourbon County Brand Eagle Rare 2-Year Reserve Stout (2023) by Goose Island Beer Co. at City of Crystal Lake

Exceeded expectations. Big integrated bourbon & oak aromas. Phenomenal puffy mouthfeel. Appropriately sweet. Toffee & chocolate. Some secondary dried cherry notes coming off the Eagle Rare. Very good. Thanks, Jake S. !

Barrel-Aged Imperial Niu by Phase Three Brewing

Alec K is drinking a Barrel-Aged Imperial Niu by Phase Three Brewing at City of Crystal Lake

Somehow tastes sweeter & more pastry-like than the non barrel variant. Toasted coconut cake donut. I do get a whiff of vanilla off the barrel. Big caramel/toffee flavor. Too sweet.

Imperial Niu by Phase Three Brewing

Alec K is drinking an Imperial Niu by Phase Three Brewing at City of Crystal Lake

Wow! Super interesting. It's super savory with serious umami notes. Soy sauce. Fresh coconut taste. A little bit grainy and wort like bringing out its sweetness. Appreciate this.

Works of Love: Russian River Brewing/The Lost Abbey by Hill Farmstead Brewery

Alec K is drinking a Works of Love: Russian River Brewing/The Lost Abbey by Hill Farmstead Brewery at City of Crystal Lake

Very intense acidity bringing forth wild blackberries slicing through black luxardo cherries. Oak is very subtle, bringing mostly tannins, but some subtle spice & vanilla as well. It's tight.

Eunoia Batch 14 by Phase Three Brewing

Alec K is drinking an Eunoia Batch 14 by Phase Three Brewing at City of Crystal Lake

I'm not sure what I'm missing. SOOOO sweet. So cloying. I would pour this over waffles. Maple way forward, followed by cinnamon. The coconut & barrel are completely buried. Sticky.

Minutiae (2023) by Phase Three Brewing

Alec K is drinking a Minutiae (2023) by Phase Three Brewing at City of Crystal Lake

Too sweet again. Definitely a deep, complex labyrinth of oaky crevices. Chocolate, vanilla, charred wood, crème caramel, bourbon old fashioned. Thick & syrupy.

I was scared of the malort barrels, but this is great. Bright citrus with only a little bit of bitter pith. Fruity. Dry.

Hard dig. Huge gooey hot caramel drizzle. Very nice chocolate flavor. Both bitter & sweet elements. Looking for more barrel which would help with the sweetness. Appreciate the well measured cinnamon.

Eunoia Batch 16 by Phase Three Brewing

Alec K is drinking an Eunoia Batch 16 by Phase Three Brewing at City of Crystal Lake

This is too sweet, regrettably. Massive apple brandy flavor that dominates the flavor & aroma profile. The oaky cinnamon flavor is a nice complimentary touch. It's cloying.

Sky Lab by Equilibrium Brewery

Super tangy citrus. Tangerine & mandarin orange. Secondary tropical mango & cantaloupe. Initial reaction was that it was oversweet, but its actually balanced. The hops are quite acidic.

Poppy Seed Bun by Hop Butcher For The World

Alec K is drinking a Poppy Seed Bun by Hop Butcher For The World at City of Crystal Lake

This reminds me of a SMASH of riwaka, but I know the grist bill is probably complex. Really capturing that NZ terroir. Peppery & fruity showing grapefruit & tart lemon. It's dry & aromatic, which i like & is correct for the style.
