    I kind of expected this big boy to be an IPA, but nope it’s a huge stout. Thick and coffee-heavy, sticky maple comes out as it warms. No clue on what this is, but it tastes vaguely familiar.

    I was expecting KY so this is a surprise but makes sense why it tasted so familiar. Tastes very similar to the base but I can pick up on the honey now that I think about it. Thanks @Sturgeon83 !

    The Joose is Loose indeed, from the moment I opened Day 1 beer from @Burrass I knew I'm in for a massive treat:
    [​IMG]
    The Answer Triple 3 Scoops Passion Fruit Lemonade Mango! I got passionfruit, confused lemonade for orange. I cherished every sip of this ambrosia-like mixture:

    Many thanks @Burrass, this was just awesome!​

    Day two is another thick stout, barrel-aged with lots of vanilla. Unsure if there are any other adjuncts in there.

    [​IMG]

    Cycle 6 Years Beers (Ecuadorian). So much decadent vanilla, this is really damn tasty. Thanks @Sturgeon83 !

    Catching up from yesterday, day 1
    [​IMG]
    Starting off with a crowler. A stout of some sort. Roasty on the nose with a hint of sweetness. Taste of chocolate with a hint of sweetness.
    [​IMG]
    Looks like a ba chocolate cover cherry stout from mobcraft. Unfortunately don't get much ba taste. Cherry adds a subtle sweetness. Candy pairs perfectly. Dark chocolate with cherries. Forgot to take a picture of it. Thanks for a good start @azuelke

    Untitled art and voodoo collab, imperial stout. Pairs nicely with the chocolate covered coffee beans

    Great weekend to start off the sixer! First up:
    [​IMG]
    Tons of berry flavor. Sticks to the glass. Raspberry...and? Maybe something else? Pretty red in color though. Based on location could be a K2 Raspberry sour. Reminds me of MoRe frosted or Roaring Table fruit shop. Tasty!
    ...reveal...
    [​IMG]
    not close on my guesses but enjoyed it for sure. Next up, day 2 shared with friends!
    [​IMG]
    Roasty, chocolate, some sweetness, rich, fairly thick. Based on bottle format and the “Boston” clue, I might guess a tree house stout. One of the “shot” series? Really like this. No barrel but still so complex.
    ...reveal...
    [​IMG]
    awesome revisit from arguably my favorite brewery. Actually was pretty close to the guess too! Thanks again @Griff57 !!

    Forgot to take a wrapped pic of day 2b. It was so good, I just wanted to see what it was. I couldn't pin point it right away, but the candy made it clear. Adam sent a few untitled art cans as extras that I enjoyed a lot and now both of these untitled art day 2 cans were great. Thanks @azuelke
