pFriem Family Brewers Rum Barrel Aged Porter

What the brewers say

"We age our Imperial Porter for a year in barrels kissed by the Caribbean, giving pFriem’s Rum Barrel Aged Porter notes of chocolate truffles, ripe cherries and vanilla beans. Drink in this captivating brew and taste luscious decadence."

What our panel thought

“Light alcohol, smoke, and pepper-like spice waft out of a roast-malt-forward aroma. Sweet notes of caramel, chocolate, and vanilla transition to a roasty bitterness, with hints of pepper on the finish.”

What our editors thought

“Slightly dulled chocolate nose, knocked down with time and age. The sip is similarly muted, with light chocolate cola and slight herbal bent. The reductive nature is difficult to dislike, but also lacks a certain spark.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Creature Comforts Brewing Concurrence No. 5

Sweet, rich, cream-and-sugar nose—coffee, vanilla, caramel ice cream, coconut, low oak. Smooth, full body like sweet Turkish coffee. Nice finishing bitterness to balance—sweet, not sticky.

Cape May Brewing King Porter Stomp

Aroma: “Moderate floral hops dominate. Light coffee roast underneath. Grassy hops with a hint of citrus and mint. Dry cocoa/chocolate, almost dusty. Alcohol evident.” Flavor: “Very roast-forward espresso and sweet dark chocolate. Bitterness is firm and a touch harsh. Borderline black IPA territory. Chocolate flavor is medium strong, lingering into the aftertaste.” Overall: “Drinkable, but more malt sweetness and richness would balance the combination of roast and hops bitterness. Kind of like a Cascadian IPA without the aroma-hops character to keep things in check.”

pFriem Family Brewers Bourbon Barrel Imperial Stout

Licorice, molasses, sweet tobacco, and chocolate-cake aromatics. Roasted dark cacao, wet wood, smoke on the tongue that lingers for a while. A divisive offering: some will love it, some will hate it.

New Belgium Dominga Grapefruit

New Belgium wood cellar blender Lauren Limbach was gifted a new foeder that she aptly named Dominga—a play on the Spanish word for Sunday. She first created a mimosa-inspired golden sour called “Dominga: Goddess of Brunch.” Now we are excited to introduce the cocktail-inspired version, Dominga Grapefruit Paloma. Inspired by the classic cocktail of Mexico, Dominga packs a refreshing combo of bright grapefruit and lime flavors, along with agave and a pinch of salt.

Firestone Walker Oaktoberfest

Oaktoberfest is our oak-inspired homage to the great German tradition of Oktoberfest. We go the extra mile of maturing this beer in French oak barrels to create an amazingly smooth mouthfeel. The result is a classic German festbier with a hint of West Coast hoppiness. Grab your stein, don your lederhosen, and enjoy!

Firestone Walker Parabola ’24

Parabola is always a beast of a beer, with intense flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate, vanilla, and roast coffee—yet each annual release also bears its own subtle imprint. For this latest edition, we aged the beer for a year in 12-year Elijah Craig barrels. These coveted bourbon barrels imparted signature notes of charred oak, caramel, and cinnamon, taking the Parabola experience to new heights. Pour some out in your favorite snifter; behold the impossibly opaque color as you allow it to warm up a bit; and then let the dark magic of Parabola stun your palate with its unrivaled flavor and complexity.

Head into orbit with this 8 percent ABV hazy double IPA before the next Hazy IPA rotator hits. Look for Cosmic Little Thing in six-packs and 19.2 oz singles.

Firestone Walker Cosmic Crusher Juicy Imperial IPA

Out-of-this-world flavor that packs a punch—take a journey with Cosmic Crusher. “Cosmic Crusher is our crazy adventure into the realm of imperial juicy IPAs,” says brewmaster Matt Brynildson. Cosmic Crusher is built around two ultra-tropical hops—Galaxy and Strata. The result is a level of flavor, aroma, and mouthfeel that can only materialize at high strength, crossing the line into a whole new cosmos of punchy mango and pineapple character.
