Driving Home From X-mas

Malty, bit caramelly, with sweet wort. Slight bitter finish with peach and spices, then some orange, pine and grapefruit. Got that light tart non-alco touch to it, and a somewhat yeasty vibe to it, but still nice for a non-alco...

Goofy

Flavorful for the abv, probably because of the heavy roast (especially for style) flanked by fruitier notes. Coffee, chocolate, syrup, dried fruits, caramel and dark bread. Finish has a roasty type of bitterness with spices, where the ashy roast lingers.

Kaerlighed Fall/Winter 2022

Canned 4Aug22. When being a member of the beer club of a brewery, you would expect to get the freshest releases. Not with Mikkeller, you get it like 3 months later. Customer service ✌️ On the other hand, guessing it wouldn't have mattered if in August 😏

Mikkeller XMAS Vienna Lager Classic

Not as good as To Øls 45 Days of Vienna. Far from as smooth and deep, plus a somewhat sharp finish.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2022)

Been a while now, so about time to revisit this classic. Heavy on the roast with coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla, spices and caramel. Barrel notes are toned down with light bourbon notes only, more of vanilla and oak. Warming. Old school BBA impy simply

Backwoods Bastard (2017)

So, what if adding a vintage Bastard into the equation, would that make a difference? Nope, not here, this bottle is surely off, must be something wrong with it. Got a sour vinegar note to it, killing most of the barrel drenched maltiness. What a shame...

Backwoods Bastard (2022)

Malty with big bourbon barrel notes, but still not as much as I remember. Memories say it was even more unbalanced before 😆 Toasted oak notes are huge, with vanilla and bourbon. Smooth maltiness with toffee, dried fruits, chocolate and syrup. Warming

Caraxes

Lunch beer @work. Red as the dragon itself, yet lacking the power of said being... Lemony tart with a raspberry touch. Finish dries out and reveals a pear like note. Unfortunately it's got that non-alco touch with (light) wort and that sour dishrag vibe

Planetarisk Tåge

Canned 7Apr22. Citra orange/grapefruit juice meets some Galaxy rubber. Bit of passionfruit and pineapple. Somewhat smooth, but a tad high carbonation and a zesty bitterness gives it a slightly rougher edge.

50°N-4°E (Batch 6 - 2020)

The Continent That Once Used To Absorb Flesh In Order To Achieve Divinity And Immortality (Suffocated To the Flesh That It Desired...)

Ah, Demilich... Listened to Nespithe earlier today. Technical and progressive early 90's death metal. This beer isn't quite the mirror of that, but still a nice hazy and bit earthy juicy song with a long ass title....

Chaos Equilibrium

Big rye whisky notes which more or less always work well with impys. However, impy isn't quite up to the match. Like the flavor profile overall that pairs well with the barrel notes, but it feels bit thin and can't quite measure up. Up the base beer abv?
