Lovely grape character, soft, fruity, vinous, nice grape skin and integration.

Richly nutty and subtle oxidation makes the lambic seem older than it is. Slight warmth.

I can't overstate how spectacular this batch is on tap. Just an insane raspberry character and the base lambic shines.

2015 harvest. Rich, leathery cherries in the way that only a kriek can be. The alcohol does add a bite to the finish. Yum.

The pear / plum note on the new Cantillon grape lambics is intriguing. Plum skins. Pear skins. Melon. Honey. Peach. Soft, smooth. Plums. Green grape. Yum. A little fatty.

Super fruity but with a lot of funk. Pear, plum, green grape, melon, floral honey, apple. Mildly oxidized/rich/fatty feel. Buttery rich white wine. Excellent.

Really rich cognac character, fruity, complementing the funk well. Mildly nutty with honey, oxidized sherry. Lovely funk - earth, mild mushroom.

The cinnamon is deep and rich, complementing the coffee and barrel really well. Lots of roast, grain, burnt sugar and bourbon. The feel, though, is a little fatty. Very tasty.

Bourbon, caramel, curacao, orange peel and spices. More cocktail than beer imo. A little too sweet.

11 Sept 2017. Bitter, pungent grapefruit pith, more musty cobweb, mineral, damp tile, and biting acidity than the Drie. Gorgeous.

Oude Geuze Boon Black Label Edition N°3
Lovely funk, earthy, mushrooms, snappy, crisp, with grapefruit and green apple. The high carbonation scrubs the palate and lends a celebratory note to the beer, but let's be honest, there's not a whole lot to celebrate about humanity right now. Quenching.

Fantastic nose, with great cherries, but damn, what a disappointing palate.

2006? 2007? Not sure, but this one's a teen, and is one of the better cellaring experiments. Rich dark fruit, savory soy, licorice, sherry, port, umami and no cardboard. Fantastic.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS)
2019 vintage. Coffee's faded a little, leaving the maple as the dominant flavor.

2017 release. Revisiting this 3 years later, this is still horrifically sweet and cloying with a medicinal blueberry flavor. Blueberry robitussin, anyone?
