    The beer is very lackluster this year.
    Just....much sweeter than years past, but still acceptable. Way better when warm
    3/5 overall

    2nd one . Post training

    Snagged some yesterday and have to agree. Never has been a complex beer but this year the flavor is muted and flatter than usual. Can't complain too much for $2 a bottle but it's not worth much more than that.

    I wonder if yours was brewed in Chicago? The batch I have was made in Petaluma

    Didn’t know they produced these at different situs. If brewed at different locations are they barreled and stored at different warehouses? Is the coffee from the same roasters? Any idea

    I've been drinkin this beer every year by the caseload and it is definitely not what i have come to expect .
    While it's not "bad" this year, it is for sure way sweeter than years past. I never bought it for the Coffee cuz it was never even noticeable but it had a nice bitterness to it that just never showed. Had 4 bottles yesterday looking for a change in flavor and it never happened.
    I'm not mad just disappointed

    Picked a six pack up in Lansing today. First time I've seen it since the 2020 version. Can't wait to crack one!

    Son and I had it tonight. Was very boozy, more than I remembered. Would probably smooth out somewhat with a year or two of aging.

    Just dropped in AZ, bought 2 sixers @$12.99 and had a $2 off /sixer TW coupon that they print out all the time, so $10.99/sixer . Getting ready to open one.

    Man, what a great score. I would certainly age a few of those.
