Summary

85	Tallgrass Brewing Company Buffalo Sweat Oatmeal Cream Stout Oatmeal Cream Stou \| 5% ABV \| 14 IBU Offered By: FATBOY

Club/Brewer Notes:
We often hear from fans who swore they’d never enjoy a stout — until they tried Buffalo Sweat. Some have described its rich taste, creamy mouthfeel and sweet, lingering finish as liquid chocolate chip cookies made with espresso. If you only try one dark beer in your life, Buffalo Sweat will change your entire perception of how a stout should taste.

Member Notes:
"A little on the sweet side" - Davo

86	AleSmith Brewing Company Horny Devil Belgian-Style Golden Ale \| 10% ABV \| 25 IBU Offered By: DAVO

Club/Brewer Notes:
Horny Devil is our interpretation of a Belgian-style Golden Ale. Brewed with authentic Belgian ingredients including candi sugar and a Trappist yeast strain, its fruity and spicy aromas include notes of orange, banana, and peppercorns. Coriander seeds add refreshing citrus notes which meld seamlessly with the beer’s delicate malt. Horny Devil finishes with a lively carbonation and a refreshingly dry finish.

93	AleSmith Brewing Company Old NumbSkull American-Style Barley Wine Ale \| 11% ABV \| 96 IBU Offered By: DAVO

Club/Brewer Notes:
Caramel and toffee notes abound in Old Numbskull, a deep copper-colored American Barleywine-style ale, alongside toasted malt and a hint of ripe dark fruits. Old Numbskull showcases malt sweetness, intense American hops, and an aggressive bitterness. Extremely well-balanced, the full-bodied mouthfeel and assertive hop profile leads into a deceptively smooth finish. Old Numbskull can be enjoyed now or laid down for years to come.

Member Notes:
"yummy" - Davo

91	Clown Shoes Beer Blaecorn Unidragon Russian Imperial Stout \| 11.5% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: LARA

Club/Brewer Notes:
Imbued with a monstrous amount of dark malt and aggressive hops. Blaecorn Unidragon is a powerful and complex brew designed to improve with age.

Member Notes:
"very smoky" - Davo
