Wow. Turns out all of May slipped by without a single post. I think I've only missed an entire month once or twice (I can't be bothered to go check). Anyway, I'm here today with a special something, the kind of something that'd usually be reserved for a November post. Yet, I couldn't help myself.

Today, I'm taking a look at Jackie O's' coffee variant of my favorite beer: Bourbon Barrel Black Maple. I've had this before, when it was a draft-only offering (which was in 2017!). Fast-forward five years and Jackie O's is making dreams come true. Today's bottle isn't hitting distro, but you can order it directly from the brewery (as long as they're able to ship to you). Let's see how she's drinking.

Did you really think I was about to let March slip away without writing about a bock? Because, c'mon. Of course I wouldn't do that.

Truth is, I was just procrastinating on this post until I'd filed my income tax returns. The problem is, I was also procrastinating on those because, well, I really don't like doing my taxes. Today, though, I got them filed. Now all that's left to do is drink my bock, which is Sonder's William Goat.

Get this: It's only early March but I'm able to post up on my front porch for this review! Yeah, the high today was 75°, which is incredibly warm. Sure, that'll plummet back down into our standard 40s soon enough, but I'm not focusing on that.

What I am focusing on is today's beer, Braxton's new IPA, Switch, and soaking up the last of the day's pleasantness as the sun sinks ever closer to that western horizon. I'm sure that the peepers will start their nightly chorus soon--let's hope I'm back inside by then. If I'm not, no biggie; I have a soft spot for peepers and their song.
