Hubbard's Cave Chocolate & Cinnamon Pot De Créme
Imperial Stout - 12% ABV Pete Pretty sweet chocolate milk-like flavor with some cinnamon mixed in. If you used chocolate milk for a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, then refilled the bowl with cereal (no extra milk), and ate that, the leftover milk would taste like this beer, though without the resultant buzz. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Hubbard's Cave COCO VAN (2019-5)
Imperial Stout - 12% ABV Pete Pretty sweet stout that comes off pretty boozy. Tiny bit of vanilla and coconut, but the sweetness and booze are definitely dominant. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Hubbard's Cave El Zacatón
Imperial Stout - 12% ABV Pete My attempt to describe this is not going to give you the full picture, as this beer is indescribably good. There is so much going on. The most obvious is the spice from the chiles, but it's not too overpowering that you can't taste other things. The nuttiness of the almond flour comes through (probably smart to use the flour to get the nutty flavor to really seep in there). Chocolate and cinnamon come through as well. I didn't specifically taste vanilla, but I would imagine that it's helping mellow out the spice. Ratings: Pete - 7 Shyoh's |

Hubbard's Cave Fresh IIPA V17 (Fresh by 9/11/18)
Imperial IPA - 8.5% ABV Pete A little creamy on the tongue, a little citrusy going down, and a little dank in the finish. Great beer. A little too easy to drink given its alcohol, but that's fine with me. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Une Année Le Grand Monde 2019-9
Wild Ale - 7.5% ABV Pete Incredible beer. Intensely sour with a hint of funk and a decent amount of grape flavor. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Une Année Le Seul XIII - Guava
Wild Ale - 6.5% ABV Pete Doesn't get better than this. Outrageous amount of guava in the aroma. The flavor starts with very high tartness, but a little sweetness and the guava in the finish really balance it well. A tiny bit of funk in the background if you really think about it. I paid $32 at a bar for a 750 mL bottle of this (~25oz). Totally worth it. Ratings: Pete - 7 Shyoh's |

Une Année Le Seul XVIII - Blueberry and Passionfruit
Wild Ale - 6.5% ABV Pete Super intense. Smell is all blueberry, which dominates the passionfruit throughout (though you can still notice it). Ultra sour at first, followed by so much blueberry. Awesome. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
