I found this one to be very bitter up front, hints of dark roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate with a slightly sweet finish. Without further ado, I’ll give some thoughts on each beer, listed alphabetically.Įat the Rich (Ghost 1228) | Adroit Theory | Stout – Russian Imperial | 12% | 4 bottle caps I appreciated that 10 of these beers I’d probably not have access to other than this beer box. All were very good, but for the standouts were Revolution’s Dark Mode Barrel Aged milk Stout maybe the best Milk Stout I’ve ever had Firestone Walker’s Paraboloid no surprise from these guys Great Notion’s Peanut Brother, maybe the best PB beer I’ve ever had, and perhaps the best “#shelfie” BBA stout, Barrel-Aged Ten Fidy from Oskar Blues.

I think this is the third “beer box” Beer Advocate has curated, following an IPA box and a Lager Box. Let’s just say that I felt compelled to share my thoughts on this excellent group of beers my wife gifted me for this past Christmas (2022). I guess I couldn’t keep the taps closed for too long, although this is by no means a return to regular posting.
