Apricot barrel tart funk. Drinks dry and sweet but exceptionally well balanced. Perfect lambic. Celebrating Riley’s first birthday with this monster bottle.

Saint Lamvinus Short

Mildly tart and sour. Sweet and fruity. A dry wine-like quality. Excellently balanced. All flavors there but nothing is overpowering. Avoids a syrup like consistency. An outstanding pour. Cantillon draft hype party.

Kriek Mariage Parfait (2014) Short

Last time I had this beer (at least the 2014) was in Copenhagen on our honeymoon. Today is our 4 year anniversary. Seems fitting. All natural brett funky tartness with some mild fruity sweetness. Cheers.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa (2021) Short

Not my favorite KBS variant. Cinnamon forward but not necessarily overpowering. Still get dark coffee and chocolate. Minimal barrel. Will let my other bottle age a while and see what happens.

Kriek Mariage Parfait (2015) Short

Had the 2014 version in 2019 during our honeymoon to Copenhagen. The 2015 is mellow. Smooth and lightly fruity. Minimal cherry tartness. Going to become a good wedding anniversary tradition. Three years today.

Curmudgeon’s Better Half (2018) Short

Bottled 8/21/18. Sweet, boozy nose. Sweetness upfront that blends into a sweet molasses body. Strong but not overbearing. The aging really took to bite out of it. Not much barrel flavor left but damn it’s smooth. Better with age for sure. Just incredible.

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio (2016) Short

Bottled 9/16/16 (4yrs old). This is a treat. Just damn. Wow. It’s tart but doesn’t kick you in the cheeks. Funky. Rich and complex. Best sour I’ve ever had.
