onceblind	3.5 Copper Kettle Contains Happiness Very slightly hazy bright golden with a thin rocky white head. Bright floral and lightly grassy/piney hop aroma with a neutral golden malt undertone. Crisp bright flavor that’s lightly golden and modestly bitter with pine and leafy tones. Slightly earthy finish. Tuesday, July 18, 2023
Tmoney99	3.9 Copper Kettle Mexican Chocolate Stout Draft taster. Poured black color with an average frothy tan head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate to heavy toasted chocolate malt aroma. Medium to abundant body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Moderate to heavy dark spicy sweet flavor with a moderate to heavy dark heat sweet finish of medium to long duration. This solid beer met my expectations. Sunday, July 9, 2023
dmctaster	3 Copper Kettle Swingin' Utters Milk Stout Black with a quickly dissipating tan head. Aroma is lactose and chocolate malts. Taste is malty and slight lactose. Possibly an old beer. If fresh, it a solid beer with no strong flavors. Found in World of Beer-Fowler. Tuesday, June 20, 2023
o_Merlin_o	3.4 Copper Kettle / Strangeway Basil Cherry Blonde On tap at West Main Taproom + Grill (Parker, CO). Pours a cherry amber color with an off white head that is somewhat sparse. Off aroma of dirt and moss. But the aroma, as off putting as it is, doesn't carry into this cherry bomb. Tasty palate of cherries (sweet tart) and orange peel. Very tasty. Well done!

JK	3 Copper Kettle European Style Pilsner GABF 2022. Light and fairly dry. This is lightly hopped with dry malt and it is refreshing and easy drinking but doesn't get to the flavor, palate or aroma of quality Czech or German pilsners. enjoyable in its own way but doesn't stand against better examples. Monday, December 5, 2022
RobertDale	4.2 Copper Kettle Snowed In - Coconut Tall can. Pours black with a decent tan head. Aroma of chocolate, malt, coconut, and barrel. Taste is chocolate, roasted malt, coconut, and some bourbon. Excellent. Friday, December 2, 2022
zoucrew102	4.5 Copper Kettle Elevenses Imperial pint can. Rich roasted malt aroma with notes of dark chocolate, bread, smoke, vanilla, whiskey and oak. Pours black with a thin mocha brown head that has little retention and some lacing. Starts with rich roasted malt, dark chocolate, bread and vanilla flavors as well as having a medium body and silky smooth mouthfeel. Finishes impeccably smooth with smoke, whiskey and oak flavors. Wonderful! Saturday, October 29, 2022
coachd	4.4 Copper Kettle Snowed In - Coconut Smells like a boozy mounds bar. Slightly astringent to the nostrils due to the ABV. Pours a flat black color with no head. Tastes exactly like a mounds bar. Thin palate, long roasty aftertaste. Very good. Saturday, October 1, 2022
coachd	3.9 Copper Kettle Citrus Paradisi Good aroma from my 2 favorite hops. Copper body with no head. Nice moderately hoppy flavor with a good palate. The best beer I’ve had here so far. Saturday, October 1, 2022

tryeverything	3.1 Copper Kettle Snowed In - Vanilla Too sweet Monday, August 15, 2022
tfontana	3.3 Copper Kettle Sobremesa (2016-) Bottle (2017 vintage) pour courtesy of Adam Chandler--thanks Adam (even if I haven't met you!). It's a deeply hazy light brown (pale cider) with light sparkle, ring of off-white head with no lacing. Aroma is strong lime/tequila, mild malts. Taste is strong green apple, lime, hint of tequila. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, perhaps you shouldn't let this sit 5 years! Given that, still fairly drinkable. Well made but not my thing. Saturday, July 30, 2022
AirForceHops	3.1 Copper Kettle Sobremesa (2016-) 650 ml bottle thanks to Adam chandler after it sat at the camp for years. 2017 vintage. Aroma shows Apple and lime. Thin body. For as old as it is it’s not really that bad. Aged to perfection!! Saturday, July 30, 2022
ClarkVV	2.6 Copper Kettle Sobremesa (2016-) 2017 bottle drunk 7/30/22. Clear, honey-peach. Low head retention on small, white bubbles. Fruity as fuck with lime, vanilla and such. Some honey but quite a bit of lime....peachy-papaya. Limey, apple-papaya. But mostly apple. Like an apple cinnamon cider gone almost bad. Rather light-bodied. Really nothing good going on here. Thanks, Adam! Saturday, July 30, 2022
chinhaez	3.5 Copper Kettle DDH Moral Support DIPA Pint can. Pours a clear copper with a medium sixed sudsy white head that has decent retention. The aroma is strong with grapefruit rind pine resins. The taste however had very little grapefruit, instead there was a big pine presence followed by bitter caramel. The palate was light and crisp. Finished long, dry and piney-bitter. Overall: just a tad disappointed with this one, I suspect this may be an old can. Its more like a barleywined DIPA. Sunday, July 17, 2022
chinhaez	3.8 Copper Kettle IPA Can. pours opaque orang-ish with a massive white head that has fair retention. The aroma is strong with oranges, grapefruit and other mixed tropicals. The taste was well balanced tropical fruits with a pronounced grapefruit bitterness. The palate was full and even. Finished a bit short, but dry and clean. Overall: Decent quaff, better than your average IPA. Fifteen years ago this would have been world class, but alas, time has raised the bar and my expectations. Will likely buy again. Saturday, July 9, 2022
onceblind	3.5 Copper Kettle European Style Pilsner Brilliant clear rich golden with a thick foamy white head. Delicately grassy noble herbal hop aroma with some light cracker malt undertones. Mellow flavor that’s not super crisp, but features a delicate herbal bitterness and mild green hop kiss. Kinda neutral and balanced. Wednesday, June 29, 2022
mansquito	3.7 Copper Kettle Snowed In - Vanilla Can shared by explosivedog: pours black with beige head. Aroma is vanilla, chocolate. Taste is sweet, lightly boozy, vanilla. Run of the mill. Fine. Saturday, April 30, 2022

AirForceHops	4 Copper Kettle Snowed In - Maple 1 pint 3.2 oz. can. 2021 vintage…. Aroma is soft bourbon and chocolate. In the flavor of the maple does not overwhelm. Bourbon, oak, roasted malt and chocolate nuances. Body is thick and full. 12.3 is not really noticed. Overall, no sticky texture or overly sweet / brownie batter character. Pretty nice! Saturday, April 16, 2022
Thisis12ptfont	3.9 Copper Kettle Snowed In - Vanilla Aromas of chocolate bourbon oak barrel wood vanilla and roasted malts. Taste is soft silky chocolate coffee espresso vanilla marshmallow macadamia nuts cocoa nibs oak bourbon barrel wood malted barley aged wort syrup and subtle lactose. Overall, very very good. Vanilla isn't so strong on the nose but it hits the palate oh so right. One of the best of the 'Snowed In' series. Tuesday, April 5, 2022
bhensonb	4 Copper Kettle Snowed In - Vanilla Can from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a small creamy tan head. Aroma of bourbon, smooth darkly toasted/burnt malt and vanilla. Full bodied. Flavor is chocolate, bourbon, burnt malt and vanilla. Maybe a slight wood note. Not dry. Bitter equivalent from heat and burnt malt. Smooth and tasty. Monday, April 4, 2022
geologyguy	3.1 Copper Kettle Swingin' Utters Milk Stout Not nearly the amount of lactose I expected...just a bit less milkier Guinness I'd say...finishes with roasted malt but not too bitter ...just enough..solid mouthfeel with light complexity... Had at home after doing a DCT practice session at state park...and pandemic seems to be subsiding with 964k US deaths...oddly DOWN(?!) from last week...must have been revised/corrected number(s) from some state! Tuesday, March 15, 2022
williamstome	3.7 Copper Kettle Snowed In - Maple Black pour, brown head. Chocolate, cocoa, oatmeal, maple. Taste follows. Tasty but not overly punchy. Sunday, March 13, 2022
bhensonb	4.3 Copper Kettle Snowed In - Cherry Can from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a transient, slight dark tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate covered cherries. Not unlike those wonder things from Trader Joe's, except this has bourbon! Full bodied in a silky/oatie way. Flavor is slightly, slightly tart cherry with dark chocolate, bourbon aspects, and smooth toasted/burnt (not harsh) malt. When I get to Asgard, I'll ask for this! Friday, March 11, 2022
bhensonb	3.9 Copper Kettle Snowed In - Maple Can from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with no head. Aroma of maple, bourbon and toasted/burnt malt. Full bodied. Flavor of maple, bourbon/vanilla and t/b malt. Not at all dry. Burnt malt bitter, and arguably some heat subs for hop bitter. Tho heat is not strong. Oatmeal is discernible after all the other things wash away. Tasty. Friday, January 14, 2022
juiceisloose	3.8 Copper Kettle Snowed In - Maple Stovepipe can. Pours nearly pitch black in color and capped by a thin tan and that fades to the body below. The aroma shows notes of dark cocoa, rolled oats, maple syrup, and a touch of vanilla over a dark roasted malt base with soft notes of bourbon soaked oak. The flavor follows with the dark chocolate, vanilla, and light maple up front followed by the earthy roast, old oak, and bourbon with a firm bitterness on the back end. Nearly full bodied and smooth with soft carbonation that leads to a slightly bitter sweet dark cocoa, maple, and bourbon oak on the finish with some lingering dryness and alcohol warmth. This one seems to have faded a bit, but is still pretty solid overall. Friday, December 10, 2021
kevinator	4 Copper Kettle Snowed In - Maple Well done heavy and smooth stout. Roasted malt with vanilla and maple. Notes of bourbon. Friday, November 26, 2021
Micah_M	3.4 Copper Kettle Tha Hoppa Early rating from Beer Buddy app Friday, November 19, 2021
bhensonb	4 Copper Kettle Spooky Hollow Can from Tavour. Pours very dark brown with a dark tan head. Aroma is moderate pie spice with some detectable rum. Full bodied. Flavor is pie spice, particularly nutmeg, with rum, chocolate and arguably some non-musty wood. Neither dry nor bitter. I'm sure malt is in it, but I can't find it. Very nice flavor. Thursday, November 18, 2021
BeerandBlues2	3.9 Copper Kettle Spooky Hollow Can at home. Pours nearly opaque jet black with faint brown highlights and a large, creamy beige head, long retention.

PorterPounder	3.3 Copper Kettle Fire Dancer 10/27/21 - Tallahassee, FL - Community Co-op Market - 12 oz can Hazy, medium yellow pour, sticky snow white head. Citrus bite to the aroma, hints of coriander. Sweet and sour flavor, some mango, a bit of coriander, some apricot sourness. Nice spritz to the mouthfeel. Thursday, October 28, 2021
chinhaez	3.7 Copper Kettle Spooky Hollow Tall can. Blackish pour with a medium sized khaki head that has good retention. Aroma of pumpkin and pumpkin pie spices. Lots of clove in particular. The taste was strong with coconut, and chocolates. Filling in the back and sides were the pumpkin, cloves, cinnamon and all spice. Rum is any was hardly discernable. The palate was thick, viscous, oily and sometimes greasy. Paired well with some comte cheese. Overall: A bit to spicy to be regarded as anything other than a novelty beer. (a new style?) Saturday, October 23, 2021
ben4321	4.1 Copper Kettle Spooky Hollow 19.2 oz can from Tavour, 10/17/21. Dark brown / black color, frothy medium brown head. Nice pie spice mix here is all the classics (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.). I'm not getting a ton of the room barrel at all, just the pumpkin pie spices, a little caramel, and a bit of roast. Rather sweet, but not cloyingly so. Drinks great, the ABV is completely hidden and it's smooooooth. Touch sticky on the close for sure. It's sweet and quite tasty. I have probably reduced my fall pumpkin beer intake down to low single digits the last 4-5 years, so I'm not quite as burned out on the pie spice beers as I used to be, and I'm wondering if that's leading to me appreciating this one more than expected? Maybe this follows some sort of pumpkin beer marginal utility law? I need a pumpkin beer scholar to weigh in; otherwise, it is hard to say. I can say that I like it. I wrote a surprising amount about this beer, not sure what that says either. 8/4/8/4/17 Sunday, October 17, 2021
tmoreau	3.3 Copper Kettle Spooky Hollow Shared 19.2 oz. can poured to a small snifter showing a black/brown hue, with some ruby highlighting, a decent layer of off white froth, and ribbons & spots of lacing. The nose was roasted, cocoa, fall spices, earthy, almost ripe pumpkin, and lurking rum. Medium+ bodied, with fair carbonation, the taste was somewhat similar notes, with okay alcohol presence, and a dry, baker's chocolate bitterness to the finish. Didn't feel a cohesive flow across the board. Monday, October 11, 2021
Aurelius	3.1 Copper Kettle Helles Lager Malty aroma, slightly toasted. Decent can with a shrinkwrap label. Clear, brassy pour with a bone-colored head that collapses fairly quickly into a sticky web. Malty, with a buttery mouthfeel and a lightly husky bitterness. Finishes out quickly, medium to slightly light carbonation. Not bad. New Leaf Co-op, Tallahassee. Sunday, October 3, 2021
chinhaez	3.7 Copper Kettle Snowed In - Cherry Tall can. Pours black with a smallish beige head. The aroma is dark chocolates, fruits and vanilla. The flavor is more dark chocolate, chocolate covered cherries, vanilla and a hint of bourbon. The palate is full and oily with soft carbonation. Finishes long. Overall Decent. Thursday, September 30, 2021

chinhaez	4.1 Copper Kettle Snowed In - Maple Stovepipe can. Blackish pour with a small beige head. The aroma is strong with Whiskey, caramel, vanilla, toffee and perhaps a trace of maple. The taste very sweet with lots of toffee in the forefront and whiskey, vanilla and maple filling in the back and sides. The palate is thick and viscous. Carbonation is soft. Paired very well with some alpine Emmental cheese. The sharpness of the cheese cut the sweetness nicely. Overall: A tad too sweet for me to make this a regular drink, but I do appreciate it as a well made stout. Thursday, May 13, 2021
