My wife played a little game with the beers where I\u2019d select a beer by punching the cup and giving my wife the index card without looking at it. She\u2019d tell me the brewery, but I would have to guess what the flavor\/adjuncts and what set the beer apart\u2026if the beer was a Milk Stout or Russian Imperial Stout, if the beer had peanut butter, coffee, or something else; or if it was a barrel-aged stout.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The box arrived mid-January and I finished off the last beer a couple of weeks ago. There was a great mix of high ABV stouts, ranging from 7.2% all the way up to 15%. Quite a few were aged in barrels, quite a few had a peanut butter element, while coffee was another common theme throughout the beers. All were very good, but for the standouts were Revolution\u2019s <b>Dark Mode<\/b> Barrel Aged milk Stout; maybe the best Milk Stout I\u2019ve ever had; Firestone Walker\u2019s <b>Paraboloid<\/b> no surprise from these guys Great Notion\u2019s <b>Peanut Brother<\/b>, maybe the best PB beer I\u2019ve ever had, and perhaps the best \u201c#shelfie\u201d BBA stout, <b>Barrel-Aged Ten Fidy<\/b> from Oskar Blues. I appreciated that 10 of these beers I\u2019d probably not have access to other than this beer box.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Without further ado, I\u2019ll give some thoughts on each beer, listed alphabetically.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/untappd.com\/user\/RobHB\/checkin\/1243207978\/\"><b> Eat the Rich (Ghost 1228)<\/b><\/a> | Adroit Theory | Stout \u2013 Russian Imperial | 12% | 4 bottle caps<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"5855\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/thetaptakeover.com\/adroit-eattherich\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/thetaptakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adroit-eattherich.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1851,1851\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;SM-S901U&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1674847940&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.4&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;500&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Adroit-EatTheRich\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/thetaptakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adroit-eattherich.jpg?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/thetaptakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adroit-eattherich.jpg?w=924\" class=\" wp-image-5855 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/thetaptakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adroit-eattherich.jpg?w=450&amp;h=450\" alt=\"Adroit-EatTheRich\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetaptakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adroit-eattherich.jpg?w=450&amp;h=450 450w, https:\/\/thetaptakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adroit-eattherich.jpg?w=900&amp;h=900 900w, https:\/\/thetaptakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adroit-eattherich.jpg?w=150&amp;h=150 150w, https:\/\/thetaptakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adroit-eattherich.jpg?w=300&amp;h=300 300w, https:\/\/thetaptakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/adroit-eattherich.jpg?w=768&amp;h=768 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;padding-left: 30px\"><b>What makes it extreme<\/b>: <i>Very High ABV<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;padding-left: 30px\">I found this one to be very bitter up front, hints of dark roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate with a slightly sweet finish.
