Gusher alert. Pours clear, dark brown. Medium small , lightly tanned head. Scent is way off. I presume infected, heavy chlorophenols on top. Taste is sharp, thin, overcarbed. Metallic, chlorophenolic. Ashy roastyness, unblended lactose - it really doesn't work well at all. Thin body - which is OK for the ABV .

Level 7 for Stout - Pastry ticks with a total of 100 ticks of this sub style.
Shady Priest Barrel Aged on Heaven Hill Bourbon from Galea Craft Beers was the one that did it!

Pours black, small tanned head. Scent is roasty, sharp, mild barrel profile. caramel and 'bacon' are more to the background, but form quite a complex base. Taste is full, roasty, mild smokeyness (bacon ! ). Fairly intense on the boozy side from the barrel - rather than actual alcohol. Doesn't show as much vanilla to be in perfect balance though - more a bourbon grainyness. Caramel is a bit to the background. Tastes developed - aged, but in a good way. mild bitterness. Mouthfeel could (and should) be a bit amped up to me, but this is quite good. Not as pastry stout as you'd think - actually, this reminds me more of a 'classic' Imperial stout .

Pours a bit lighter than collosal creek. Same small white head formation, barely to be called foam. Scent is sharp, more vibrant, less pronounced on the fruits. Taste is sharp, acetic acid, dusty, fruit only in hints. Less balance than desired. Just not an interesting beer TBH.

Pours clear, amberred. Small ring of white head. Scent is full, raspberry up front, but not very balanced or interesting. Taste is mostly lactic acid, amped up maltyness. Raspberry puree. Pretty straight forward. Lacks complexity, lacks interesting features. Again, too much alcohol for what it is.

Kraddel (15451) reviewed Imperial Anura from Wander Beyond Brewing 2 years ago

Pours very deep and dark redpurple. Small white head. Scent is very full, fruity, but not very interesting, little 'beer' aspect left, and the fruityness isn't that thrilling. Taste is medium mild sour, than fruity. Toward the end, it turns very sweet, arteficial sweeteners, fruity candy. Not nearly as dry as you'd expect from a BW, and surely the beer didn't need the 12 % - which it hides very well, let's be fair, but I have questions as to why pick this over a 'regular' fruited berliner, which offers the same or better experience for lower abv...

Kraddel (15451) reviewed Sour Suzy from Lervig 2 years ago

Pours a clear blonde, small white head. Scent is dry, trypical BW - finally ! One of my biggest negative feelings in craftbeer, is how everyone makes the same styles ( NEIPA, Stout, Fruity sours) . i've been asking for basic, traditional , rare styles like Berliner weisse for years. Lervig stepped up their game ! Taste is full, wheat shines trough nicely. Mild tartness (lactic acid) . Very dry, and an almost salty touch. Nice ! perhaps a bit soft ont he sour side, but easy drinkin' and not diluted woth fruits, imperial version, nor dryhopped out of style.
