#Beer review of Howdy Porter (Vanilla Bean) by #AmericanSolera from #Tulsa #Oklahoma

Ratings (1-5 scale):
Look: 4.75 Aroma 4.5 Flavor 4.5 Mouthfeel 4.75 Overall: 4.75

(One important note - this is a different beer than American Solera's regular Howdy Porter that is a coconut porter with a higher ABV)

I poured this from a can into a pint glass. Excellent chocolate aroma. Very smooth mouthfeel. Very dark with a tan head. This one reminded me some of Breckridge's Vanilla Porter, except this was maybe a little smoother.

Strong recommendation.

#BeerReview of Migrating Coconuts by #RoughtailBrewing

4.88/5 rDev +23.2%
look: 4.75 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 5 | feel: 5 | overall: 4.75

One of my favorite winter seasonals.

Smooth, smooth mouthfeel, full but also a tiny bit fluffy. Flavor is nice, with some bittersweet chocolate, maybe some cherries, and of course, toasted coconuts.

"Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?"

Apparently the answer is a yes, because despite Oklahoma's somewhat temperate climate, one can drink beer, made of coconuts, in Oklahoma.

Sam is on the tail of a Fossil Thief, but Fossil Thief doesn’t belong in a museum, it belongs in a glass!

Flavor 😛 9/10, tastes sweet and nails the flavor. Doesn't feel like grain alcohol.

Vibe 😌 8/10, idk I like it, but not sure I can drink that many.

Overall a fun try.

I know we've been quiet this year so far, but don't worry we've been working behind the scenes. For our first review of 2026 is Sam cracking open a Heaps Norma's Quiet XPA. Calm, collected, and a cheeky low ABV #beeroclock #beerreview #beerlovers
