    Always seems to be available. Always pass for another beer. Grabbed a six today. It’s so good. Hoppy dry and tasty. Drinking from the can. One of the best straight up stouts.

    Enjoy

    Still a great beer? I had this around 2011/12 and thought it was so good I bought a case of large size bottles. Had no idea there were cans now.

    Enjoy

    Yes! I’ve only seen it in 12 oz cans. I didn’t know that it was bottled, too!

    Having a classic for the first time in a long time, trying to keep warm on this washout of a weekend.

    I almost forget sometimes that stouts can be dry and not barrel aged. Lots of roast with low bitterness and mellow diner caliber coffee. Damn good stuff.

    Not sure if it's batch variance, draft vs. can, or what. I am liking the first of this four pack is more to my liking than my initial take on release day.

    Revolution usually works out for me, glad I have a few left as I typically am. Shared 1/4 of my Season Ticket with my Las Vegas brother. I will be getting into a lot more stouts the final three months as the cool weather invades and takes over Chicago.

    BA coffee stout is my strongest non-barleywine beer itch and this absolutely scratches that itch. One of the best of its kind I've come across and blessedly it is sensibly packaged in small bottles with no wax for a fair price. Love this one.

    FOMO+ from Bottle Logic. Imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels with Madagascar vanilla beans then finished with Mostra roasted Panama Geisha coffee beans. Comes in at 13% ABV.

    Poured at fridge temp but allowed this to warm for 10 minutes or so before trying. Pours a viscous black with about an inch of brown head. Lovely looking beer! The nose is fantastic. Vanilla pounds hard right away, but the coffee and chocolate follow quickly. The coffee note is so smooth. After the chocolate, there is some marshmallow, bourbon, graham crackers, and slight maple.

    The taste is wonderful. Tons of vanilla, creamy chocolate, freshly roasted coffee, brown sugar, maple, a touch of honey sweetness, and cupcakes. Some dark fruits - mostly raisins, and a hint of roasted malts. Just a fantastic amalgamation of flavors.

    The mouthfeel is thick and creamy, and the aftertaste is a toffee/vanilla/chocolate/bourbon combo.
