What beer are you drinking now? #4802

Founders’ KBS Hazelnut Fudge (12.0% bottled 1/2025): A BBA Stout from Michigan with flavors of chocolate, hazelnut coffee, fudge, vanilla and bourbon.

Getting back into the BBA game for the season with a Friday night KBS Hazelnut Fudge. Hazelnut coffee notes, but with some fudge and chocolate sweetness to support. Bourbon is relatively milder than I remember. I'm not a fan of flavored or hazelnut coffee so initially a bit bitter, but the fudge sweetness helps this. Not a fan of the hazelnut artificial flavor, but the fudge is nice here. Going to be trying probably one of these a week.


A fresh delivery from Tavour with some fresh Phase Three, Spyglass, , Magnify, Other Half and Bissell Brothers. Get ready for some fresh IPA battles this weekend.

 

Great brew, great bacon and that squirrel hanging from the bottom of the tree is pretty cool.

 

A bowl of chili and this fine lager go well together
Cheers all

 

The temp is falling like a rock and it's time for beer, now that I'm home.

From a 16oz can. Canned on 11/14/2025

The beer looks somewhat murky in the glass, and a dirty golden color. There's a 2 finger head to the beer. The head retention is damn good, and the lacing on the glass is quite sticky looking.
The aroma is filled with hops. I get just a huge hit of mango. The mango aroma is backed up by pineapple and grapefruit notes.
The flavor has the grapefruit and pineapple up front. This front is also filled with a nice hint of a grassy and earthy flavor. The mango seems to come in toward the backside. There's a slight bitterness that finishes it off.
The body has a decent feeling to it. There's not a lot of juiciness, but there's a slight cling to it. There's a bit of smoothness to the feeling.
This is a damn delicious beer. It is a style that I'm somewhat burnt out on, but it is a beer I'd gladly revisit.

 

Now enjoying a Mayflower Porter on draft
Cheers!

 

I think I’ve had this iconic beer every year since ….. 2008 maybe? This could absolutely be my desert island beer. World class stuff, IMHO.

 

Back home safely (the wife was the DD) with a Jai Alai.

 

Brewed in Lithuania. Not bad. Clams for chow tonight.

 

Happy Friday Bitches! Tabs up.

 

Set up with our chairs, blankets, cookies and beers! Jai Alai:



We are at a water’s edge park where the parade will pass by shortly…Cheers y’all!

 

Another good catch, that one was really subtle but I kind of knew you would come through

 

@ATL6245 You should see much better at night. Do you know what kind of lens you got: standard, toric, or multifocal?

@LeinenkugelDrinker I also got a PandaExpress Coupon in the mail that I am going to use this weekend.

Is it nice to be back?

 

First cross-post with this weekend's holiday beer tasting: The Mad Elf Grand Cru from Troeg's. It is one of my holiday favorites. Cheers!
