Tonight’s blind picks are a whiskey barrel stout and coffee porter.  Kristen’s shot is the pumpkin spice liqueur.

Boulevard Brewing is out of Kansas City, Missouri and the whiskey barrel stout is definitely a sipper.  At 11.8% ABV, this is definitely a strong one… and you can smell the whiskey once you pour it into a glass.  This is soft on the palate, but then you get the burn from the whiskey in the back of the throat.  It’s not too overpowering though.   If you are into barrel-aged stouts, this is a definite must to try.

Anchor Coffee Porter is the beer I blindly chose.   At 6.7% it’s a smooth tasting porter with a coffee flavor.  This is by Anchor Brewing out of San Francisco, CA.

When Kristen sent me the picture of her shot – first off, I love the shot glass! 🙂  She stated “Tastes just like your pumpkin cheesecake! Yum!”
