Oude Geuze Boon Black Label (2015) Brady

Neither copse nor corpse au currant, mostly just a remembrance of green apples past; funk cleans up a dirty lay-up, a reverse double probation of farm ownership; tart oatmeal becomes congealed lychee delicacy in an imagined culture; wisteria.

Kriek 100% Lambic Bio (2023) Brady

Perfecto--so different so young; nose had all the expected brett funk, but first sip a cherry riot of the upmost order; bright like bwright but still sour enough to wet the proverbial whistle; tang of a jam too beautiful for this world--slumber away.

Backwoods Bastard (2018) Brady

He heard in the tumult and in silence too The unending protests in his soul, And stifled a yawn with an idle laugh: And so he slaughtered eight years at least Life's best flowers squandering at a barren feast.

Oude Geuze Boon (2012-2013) Brady

Subtle funk with a mineral tonic nature and finished with a touch of old wood and used straw; aged wisdom can still funky appreciate ingenue flavors of rotten flowers du mal; sunlight dapples the dancing bronze.

Nordic Spring Brady

I continued in oblivion lost, My head was resting on my love; Lost to all things and myself, And, amid the lilies forgotten, Threw all my cares away.

Foret De Troncais Medium Toasted Brady

2014ish: Melded into a catamel-raisin-toffee neutron bomb with massive Sauternes notes as many note; what would be the ortolan that pairs here--perhaps a mouton champion? Lingers a breath of oak char you could set your watch to; candy as an artform.

KBS Hazelnut (2022) Brady

Not feeling the love as much as others here--hot take alert; hazelnut massive to the detriment of coffee & other trad flavors; less chewy as well, smoothness almost an idol au currant; barreling almost forgotten as well--brewing by committee?

Big Worster Brady

2016-08-18: Purity of caramel should be measured in carats, where the richest veins are mined for thickness of efforts; oxidation rising towards the stars, then hints of amaretto, mint & high-test bread; erasure.

Backwoods Bastard 2021 Brady

Or, your own end to justify, For having purposed change and falsehood, you Can have no way but falsehood to be true? Vain lunatic, against these ‘scapes I could             Dispute and conquer, if I would,             Which I abstain to do

Raspberry Quadrupel Barrel Aged Brandy Brady

Impressed how much more this has evolved in two years since I had the bourbon version; brandy and raspberry now meld to a tart slurry, with brandy lingering in misty funk; chocolate berry cake, subtle pepper heat, heroic baritone.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2020) Brady

To the eyes of my Beloved, To her fingers that prepared them – Once with such a burning longing So awaited, and received, then – To the heart from which they flowed, Shall these letters once more go, Ready ever to recall, The most perfect time of all.

Backwoods Bastard (2015) Brady

Ol' dirty bastard now country gentlemen of many a long tooth, telling witty stories of possums lost; age now in decline, so tap this mountain resource while you can.

Higher Math Brady

Has it really been 5 years? Just beginning to thicken into molten cherry cake, like a Nazi superweapon developed in some salt mine tunnel; chest hair thickening, kvass inspiring, old friend of the forest.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) Brady

We have no title-deeds to house or lands; Owners and occupants of earlier dates From graves forgotten stretch their dusty hands, And hold in mortmain still their old estates.

Fou' Foune (2020) Brady

An early (delayed) Zwanze day finds new expressions of instant classics; ordure (again!) made flesh, as rotten fruits return to the earth as maggots tear at its flesh; apricots need no introduction--they only await the funk of older age; acetic intarsia.
