Bears beer breakfast!

Bells java stout.

It's ok.


Great for the price, but following a beer geek, and a raunch geek.....it wasnt going to stack up.

6/10

Mikkeller beer geek

If I have a favorite beer, it may be this one.


Great flavor, smell, and I'll even use the term "mouthfeel."


If it wasn't $10 a bottle, I'd always have some on hand.


Makes all other coffee beers pale in comparison.

10/10.

Mikkeller beer geek raunch

So awesome.

A smoked variation of my favorite "beer geek".

Supposedly aimed for a bacon taste.....which wasn't really there. Just a light smoke flavor.

8/10!

I swear when I had this previously, I loved it.

Tonight.....not a fan.

Just plain bad! Almost sour.

4/10.

I need to turn in my hophead club card. It's grown old to me.

Good beer for a Cold day.
