    Central Waters Why Is The Cake Gone? Imperial Porter, 13.3% ABV. Pours Black with a one-finger light brown head that left no lacing. Nose is vanilla cake, buttercream frosting, and rum. Taste follows plus batter, slightly sweet, slightly bitter. Excellent mouthfeel, if a bit light on carbonation. Nose is much better than the flavor here.

    4.35/5 rDev -0.7%
    look: 4.25 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

    I was a bit disappointed with the flavor on this one. If it had matched the nose, it would have been one of my highest rated. I love rum, but it overpowered the cake unfortunately. @Benish nailed in his review what I was smelling on the frosting, buttercream. I was thinking buttermilk, but he nailed it.

    Congrats on the special day! One of the (few) benefits of getting old is your promotion to grandpa :slight_smile:

    As I read the story, the non-banned titles shot to the top, obviously. Didn’t realize the publisher pulled them, but to me it amounts to basically the same problem and I’ll stick with my original position about where we are with this type of thing. Cheers.

    I really enjoyed them, still have 3. If you like West Coast IPA and Citra, I think you’ll enjoy it. Cheers!

    Dropping that ABV a bit from 90 Minute IPA to Boulevard's classic Unfiltered Wheat.

    I absolutely love Bigfoot. I had it every year from 2008 to 2019. Somehow I missed last year, but got some this year. It's a classic.

    Good call, you’ll probably need the cushion, because Hop Shovel is hefty!

    I love Speedway. I have the Speedway with Espresso and Madagascar Vanilla in my fridge. I may have to crack open that one tonight.

    Grabbed some G-Bot on my way to Maine this past summer. It was good stuff. Glad to finally have some.

    Fresh Two Hearted is soooo good. I rarely find it fresh in my town.

    That’s massive! Something @superspak would dig!
    ps-I would dig it too, but the boss only allows those on vacation!

    I liked that one. I’ve definitely rediscovered Bear Republic during the last year.

    You might have to double or triple it up for @superspak.
