    A good friend scored me a couple bottles of this and has been curious for my opinion. A cloudy cool and calm morning equals great conditions to burn some yard debris. Going to take a break and enjoy this by the fire.

    Pours a thin but oily black color with plenty of foam that I find in most Lagunita's products. Faint coffee aroma and not much barrel going on. Flavor is coffee, but not overpowering by any means, smooth rye whiskey, and a bit of bitter-sweetness with a dry finish. Very balanced and easy drinking. I was shocked to see the abv. at 12%.

    With that said, this is a very enjoyable beer, especially at the price. I believe it cost around ten bucks. There are better options in this class, but this one deserves a place in the rotation as well.

    Have a great week!

    What're you looking at here :astonished:?

    The tail-end of the 2012 Bourbon County Coffee Stout that my beer store got in on Friday...

    I was hoping for a 32 oz. fill, but I was "late to the party" as they say (who's "they"?) and it started to fizz out, so I ended up with a 16 oz. fill :rolling_eyes: lol :stuck_out_tongue:
    No complaints, though - this is some top-shelf drinking right here - super smooth and chocolaty with plenty of bourbon and coffee flavor throughout...
    I actually had this back in 2012, bottled, and this has aged quite nicely - as far as my palate recalls: smoother but without any loss of coffee or bourbon flavors - glad I stopped in :grinning:

    Cheers... :wink:

    Last day of the grandsons visit. It's been a lot of fun, having them for three days.
    Today we're building Lincoln Logs. I'm drinking my last Chillwater. Thanks @SomethingClever for bringing it with you on your visit.
