    Would love to hear any feedback on Baklava Tart. I've been hesitant to pull the trigger on that one just yet.

    Opened an Elvis Mash over the weekend. Taste was solid, but I couldn't get over the smell. I picked up pickle brine (maybe the salt added?). It totally threw me off to the point that I held my breath every time I took a sip so the smell didn't affect the taste. All in all, not a bad beer, but I probably won't be buying it again.

    I'm curious about this one as well. It sounds good, but hopefully it's executed well.

    I had one on Sunday. It's a great marshmallow flavor with some graham cracker and chocolate. It's a little hot as I'd expect with a 16.5% stout, and of course the mouthfeel is thin. It's similar to how I remember So happens it's Tuesday s'mores edition, but with more marshmallow and graham cracker.

    I had a taster over the weekend. I was hoping the maple and adjuncts would be strong upfront, but I mostly got oude tart and some barrel. Like melange 1.

    Opened my last 2017 bottle of Geburtstagskranz... it was a drain pour for me. It tasted like a soft infection had crept in, though it could just be the taste of the tart cherry overwhelming as the other adjuncts faded (this seems to be a common note on Untappd). Might be a positive for some folks, but either way, it was not for me even though I loved the beer fresh :slight_frown:

    Cracked a Baked on the Bayou, feel like this shoulda been in their canned stouts releases, but BT reserve ‘20 on the other hand was amazing

    I'm gonna echo that this year's Love Bites is phenomenal, it's actually crazy how much it tastes like chocolate strawberries.

    I wasn't a huge fan of the 2020, so was a little surprised with how much I liked the 2021 version.

    Just had some moon pie... really enjoying this! Kinda of what I expected from Baked on the Bayou quality wise but didn't quite get.

    Making my way through the March releases... so Mélange Noir. Really enjoying this one. Love how you can still taste the Black Tuesday but the barleywine and ale "mellow" it out to make it really easy drinking.

    My last Arbre wheatwine. Still very tasty, but starting to oxidize in a way I don't care for, so if I had others I probably wouldn't sit on them longer.

    I opened a Chron 18 Wee Heavy, in memory of my friend Alex (the first person I ever gave a Hoarders access card to, and a good friend of mine who passed away a few years ago). Absolutely brilliant... no oxidation... no infection... all awesomeness!!!
