    Bramble assassin is the best of the assassins this year. Super jammy. Makes just getting one vanilla worth while. Rather have 2 bramble than VB

    Appreciate your posts always, but for perspective would you mind clarifying how much you enjoy other fruited stouts (noteworthy ones particularly, if you know).

    My thought is that if you always like them, this is a much lesser compliment than if you rarely like a fruited stout.

    Also, curious on if you could detect much barrel, given that it …IS a fruited stout.

    I love Jam the Radar to start with. My thoughts on Bramble on tap was so much berry juice when cold. Then as it warmed more barrel did start to come through and the berry dropped off a bit. I do like it but I feel like it might be better in 6 months as the berry settles and mellows. Right now it is really intense. Especially next to vanilla, which was as amazing as 2019 vanilla bean assassin.

    I enjoy fruited stouts, northwoods was over powering at first but settled down with age. It’s like a more mellowed northwoods. The berry is a subtle tartness on the back end, would compare it to. Chocolate covered tart blueberry, not a huge barrel presence overall but as it warms its there more.

    The VB Assassin is good honestly it’s the same as 2019, that’s not a bad thing I think it’s perfected, but I just enjoyed the bramble so much More than I’ve enjoyed an assassin since 2018 coffee assassin

    They go by Tom.

    I hear great things about what they do with Huckleberries.

    Their head brewer is named Jim.
