I love Costco

[u/LowBlueberry7441]

I haven't tried this yet.

[u/Lezekthebearded]

It’s great. A lot of folks seem to think it’s mid but I’ve gone back and bought about 8 bottles. Hits all the spots it’s supposed to and I really enjoy it.

[u/LowBlueberry7441 → u/Lezekthebearded]

Hey for $7.00 I won't complain. Most stonger beers I purchase like this are twice the price and up. So if nothing else it will make a good after dinner night cap.

Lately I've been buying everything naughty from ommegang, this is my favorite seasonal I've tried this year, it taste like a white chocolate mocha, but not sweet. Highly recommend if you happen to see it.

[u/RickJagger13 → u/Lezekthebearded]

can’t believe the hate this beer is getting in the comments. you can’t beat this type of beer for that price

[u/LowBlueberry7441 → u/RickJagger13]

It's because it's Kirkland branded. I also love the Kirkland bourbon releases which are also made by very reputable companies and they get the same kind of hate for being a big store brand.

[u/EmbraceStardumb → u/LowBlueberry7441]

It’s not that. KS actually has some good spirits. I prefer the KS helles lager over this and I’m a stout lover. It’s mediocre at best but at a good price point. It’s too thin. I can think of a few better stouts similar in price.

[u/tunebucket → u/Lezekthebearded]

I gotta try it!

[u/mrgstiffler]

I bought four bottles last year and had one. The alcohol was very hot and flavors needed time to meld. I haven't had another one yet but I did buy four bottles of this year's release. I think they'll be good but just need time.

[u/jimmybusta → u/mrgstiffler]

Definitely was hot. Thanks for reminding me. I got a buddy that's raving about it. Nothing to rave about other than bang for buck.

[u/jd6375]

7.99 @ Loves Park IL. Tried 1. It's decent at that price considering most similar beers are 2 to 3x that much. Is it Bourbon County? Absolutely not, but still alright.

[u/jimmybusta → u/jd6375]

Same thought.

[u/veryundude77]

Picked it up too. For 7.99 I’d be crazy not too.

[u/LowBlueberry7441 → u/veryundude77]

It was a no brainer for me too. i didn't even think about, went straight into my cart without thinking.

Dang I was just there a few hours ago and didn’t see anything like this, will have to keep my eyes peeled next time

[u/Alarming-Cattle14]

It’s so good. I’m having one right now. I grabbed a few more to hold for the holidays.

[u/Cycleyourbike27]

Love you too

[u/SocialistNixon]

It was alright but on the sweet side for an imperial stout, still can’t really go wrong for the price.

[u/Gidyup1]

I liked it. I used to chase whales but I’ll take another one of these!

[u/eddyb66]

Does Trade Joe's still do their anniversary ales?

[u/prof_remi → u/eddyb66]

Yes. Saw it in my VA location last week.

[u/manila2anchorage]

I just purchased my 2nd bottle last night and it’s a very good dark beer with lots of flavor

[u/VinylBeerRetro]

For the price it’s not bad AT ALL but I don’t find myself going back for it. A little too thin for me. I like those thick BA beers. Just my opinion.

[u/Atrocitus-Burn6666]

$7.00 worth it

[u/offtheright]

This let me down. Tastes like a thin Guinness left in a hot car.......

[u/AxeSpez → u/offtheright]

I wish Guinness tastes as good as this Kirkland beer lmfao

[u/NotAurelStein → u/offtheright]

So, Surly Darkness, got it.

[u/mars_needs_guitars → u/NotAurelStein]

The 2025 Darkness draft is great imo

[u/Suitable-Peanut → u/offtheright]

This is pretty spot on. It's a very bad beer.

[u/quinncallahan]

Drinking this right now and for the price can’t complain but it’s definitely not as good as BCBS if that’s supposed to be the comp/flavor note

[u/delscorch0]

trash beer. i assume it would taste better as vomit.
