    still the same as the hype years... way below average.

    to go fridge stays packed with all the same beer just diff labels and you can easily get a seat at all times.

    Monkish is the same quality as in the past, just with higher production. All the beers taste basically the same, so just grab whatever cans have the best name.

    Don't listen to Resistance88 about their beers being below average. He just doesn't like their style of beer, which is fine.

    Don’t really get telling somebody who clearly liked their beers on their previous visit that they suck. How is that helpful?

    Let's see:

    Coffee? Perfect.

    Vanilla? Good, but I'd prefer all coffee.

    Rum barrel aged? Damn. Never had one I liked.

    I would add to look at the ABV of the beers.... that is the main difference between them. For me, the 8 percent range are usually my favorites

    Yeah, the ABV is the biggest differentiator. I go for the 10 percent range, personally.

    Between coffee & rum barrels I wouldn’t even want to try it. Those are interesting choices. I don’t think I’m alone.

    Current Untappd rating = 3.95

    BALTS for comparison = 4.7

    BALTS is such in inflated rating i feel like people rate it high cuz of scarcity and to make people feel shit. literal sugar glop so i can't even imagine what this one is like if it's rated that low.

    I'm going to try it soon and will report back...with a zero.

    Cuz Rum, trillium and the veil are 3 things that aren't hype anymore.

    I had a pour yesterday and I thought it was great. I didn't get any bottles, but I wish I had now. It's sweet, but not as sweet as the BALTS and the rum (which I not usually a fan of) wasn't overpowering, it actually added a really nice flavor.

    That bottle would possibly end someone with diabetes; it was bad. There are other coconut stouts that are Much more balanced than this. The anniversary beer was good though, not great.

    Does anyone have updates on the supposed Echo Park taproom? I know it's supposed to be near Sightglass Coffee on Sunset, but I have not seen any building with an ABC public notice. Although I guess the lack of a notice could mean it's a ways away.

    There is no Coconut in the most recent bottle released!

    I took this picture almost two months ago. I also asked Henry and he said early next year. Let's hope.

    I’m not a big rum barrel aged fan but Forever Noi is surprisingly tasty.
