Big time cinnamon hater so I couldn't be bothered with D21. DB Derivation Double Willett on the other hand, big winner for this guy. Also enjoyed With Brad quite a bit. Would love to see them give us a Terminus b2 this year, or even better a DB Terminus ala the Reverberant series.
I haven't tried a lot of this year's crop year as I just got a bunch of bottles in December hauling back from StL, but I think DM was really good (had it on site at Stout Week). Anxious to give that another go.
Was going to have this on Saturday for my birthday but I...had too many before that and decided not to have it on a blasted out palate. Shin Shin was actually my biggest disappointment from them last year tbh.
Info about the 2026 membership is up on the site, looks like one of the included beers will be a Derivation next year
Certainly seems like the feedback about the included beers was heard, and this is a solid outcome. Credit where credit is due.
It was enough of a video to get me to renew. I was about 90% certain I was going to drop it this year
I was surprised by it too. Had the 2023 on draft and it was incredible. It's still a 4.72 for the 2025 iteration
I see that and have a hard time reconciling - all I can say is that, if someone had the original 3x and then drank this, I don't think anyone would come to that conclusion. The original is an all timer. I will say I had the 2025 again on draft and it was better than the bottled version, but it still wasn't the OG.
