    Looked to the treats for clues. Never had the Abba Zabba but my wife and I dig it! Not getting peanut butter in the beer. The thin taffy brings back memories! Kids will love that tomorrow. Taffy makes the beer sweeter

    I guessed a bourbon stout, but no idea on the exact one. Never picked up on maple notes but the sweetness may have led me to the rum at first. Candy paired well, Thanks Scott. Excited for the next 3

    It's been unseasonably warm in Cincinnati the last few days, so I was pretty shocked when I woke up this morning and found out it was snowing....

    No need for a replacement, I still drank the whole bottle, just thought it was a sour! Your extras more than make up for the one bottle being off!

    Is there anything dog friendly in Cincinnati? We'll be there in 2 hours.

    @Elkevjoe I was at Streetside Brewing a couple weeks ago and it's dog friendly. Good beer too. Their Raspberry Beret Berliner is tasty.

    The outside area at Mad Tree Brewing is dog friendly too.

    For bars, you can hit up Queen City Radio, Neons, or Pearls. Cappies in Loveland is the best bottle shop and they have an outdoor patio that allows dogs. Hope this helps.

    Day 4! Wrapped cap, so no help there. But as soon as I poured it and got that raspberry aroma, I knew exactly what it was.

    Super tart, Raspberry, a little barrel funk... yep! Ensorcelled from The Rare Barrel! Love this beer! Thanks @OEB

    MadTree and Cappy's are always my recommendations for a quick stop in Cincy. Both are dog friendly. The list is much longer, but if you're just passing through then those are your best bets.

    NFL started early today, so I got started early, too. I've already cleaned my house, cut my yard, and napped. It's been a full day.

    Right off the bat getting rich, chocolate stout, roasty coffee, cinnamon and maybe a hint of vanilla. Spicy heat on the back end gives a nice finish...reminds me of Mexican Coffee Cake but this is better (IMHO)...

    Wolf's Ridge Dire Wolf Canis Mexicanus Double Espresso Imperial Stout

    Nice pairing with the milk chocolate pretzel bar too!

    Should've been a "want" and now I want to try all the variants!
