Kraddel (12701) reviewed Times 8 (Bourbon Barrel Aged) from Lervig 6 hours ago

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8.5 | Flavor - 9 | Texture - 9 | Overall - 8.5

Pours black, no real head. Scent is roasty, sweet. Doesn't show the specific ingredients, but has a nice complete feel to it nevertheless. Taste is very full, intense, thick, low carbo. Chocolate. Nice alcohol warmth, not being boozy. All the elements blend into a wholesome totality. None of them are to be recognized on their own, which is a perfect example of balance, though balance is not what you'd expect in this type of beer. Impressive stuff, thats for sure !

Kraddel (12701) reviewed Coconut & Maple Stout from Vocation Brewery 6 hours ago

Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7.5 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7.5

Pours black, no real head. Scent is coconutty, relatively mild ( still strong, just mild for the style ) . Taste is sweet, chocolate, mild alcohol. Clear coconutty, very mild maple (hidden) that grows towards the aftertaste. mostly coconut to me, which is the other side than I had hoped for . Still, more than decent. Medium body, medium low carbo.

Kraddel (12701) reviewed Barrel-Aged Salted Caramel Cookie Dough Crunch from Lervig 7 hours ago

Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7.5 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5

Pours black, small to no head. Scent is sweet intense caramel, mild bourbon. Taste is full, fairly thick but not to Lervig standards in their crazy stouts. very aromatic. Caramel, with a weird doughy undertone. I get the idea, it's just not for me... Still pretty good, I just expected a lot more at this price point (ca 3x the price of their regular, amazing stouts )

Kraddel (12701) reviewed Original Sin from Lervig 8 hours ago

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8.5 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8

Pours intense black with a red shine. Small tanned head. Scent is chocolaty indeed. Vanilla, slightly roasted. Taste is very full, smooth, thick roasty, sweet, vanilla, chocolate, crackers, mild alcohol bite in the back. mild bitterness by the chocolate, but overall very sweet. A crunchy side by the what-I-call-cracker. I'm surprised by the lower-than-expected ratings before me. I really dig this one myself !

Pours black, small tanned head. Smell is roasty, intense, raw, green coffee. Taste is sharp, coffee, mild ashy, roasted, intense dark chocolate, green, umami (strong), pepper almost trough the herbal side of coffee. Very bitter (coffeebitter) finish. Unbalanced in a direction i'm not fond of.
