I sent a bottle of both of those to KCUnited to thank him for some beer he's sent me. Maybe he'll post his thoughts on Bloom here when he tries it.

They've also got taproom only beers. For example, they recently had a stout called Maple Shade. The base for that is their Reve Coffee Stout, then its aged in Bourbon Barrels and has Vermont Syrup added to it. I'm not huge on stouts, but that was delicious. I've only had one full glass of it. I had a half glass when they originally released it because it's 14% and I jad a two hour drive home. And then I shared a glass of it with my wife at the release party a couple of weeks ago.

Everyone (on tigerdroppings) seems really down on Ghost now. They seem to think that he's tinkering with it too much and also putting more energy into Envie and Bloom.
