Special Dark Mild

Classic Gueuze (2022) Dark Mild

Relatively still Gueuze, certainly not as carbed as other vintages. Nearly two years in the bottle and there’s still a prominent sharp sweetness. Not a ton of mustiness yet.

Fou' Foune (2018) Dark Mild

Interesting revisiting this after 5 years. There’s still a bit of that stonefruit quality but definitely a far more musty, farmyard-y character developing. There’s a real sharp acidity in there now and a more pronounced white wine character.

Fou’ Foune (2022) Dark Mild

What better way to see out 2022 than with a Fou. Other years have definitely had a bolder apricot taste but this still has soft soft stone fruit notes and a lovely acidic Tartness. Happy new year!

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio (2021) Dark Mild

04.01.21 bottle. Musty, horse blanket aromas. Pleasure as always to sample those sweet, freshly cut apple skin gueuze notes.

Kriek 100% Lambic Bio (2020) Dark Mild

Missed out on Zwanze day, but here’s my toast! A perfectly balanced Kriek that truly is a masterclass!

Geuze Mariage Parfait (2012) Dark Mild

Cracking this open at 10 years. Funky, musty, oaky aromas. Stewed apple & freshly squeezed lemon.

Missed Zwanze yesterday, so enjoying this rather lovely vintage of St Lam today. Red grape & apple skins.

The Guide Dark Mild

Soft, sweet & super smooth.

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio (2020) Dark Mild

Jan 2020 bottle. Absolutely delicious. Cider, gooseberry & apple skin notes. A classic to celebrate Xmas day!

Fou' Foune (2020) Dark Mild

A standout Fou vintage. More so than recent years, apricot seems so fresh & so juicy. Merry Xmas you beery animals!

50 Degrees N - 4 Degrees E (2020) (Cognac) Dark Mild

Horse blanket, straw, oaky fresh apple & grape skin with that beautiful, warming cognac finish. Poured flat but a beauty nevertheless. God Jul & Gott Nytt ar!

Hallo Ich Bin Berliner Double Raspberry Dark Mild

Very thick, very creamy & loaded with tart raspberry. Such a good example of the Berliner style.

Rosé de Gambrinus (2019) Dark Mild

Cork shot out, very lovely & very well carbed. Subtle, delicate raspberry flavours.

Saint Lamvinus Dark Mild

Near to faultless. Vinous, with that merlot grape really coming to the fore. Sharp, with that distinct cantillon funk nestled in the background. Worth waiting out 2 odd years for!
