Kriek 100% Lambic Bio B

Draft always has more cherry pie and less vinegar. Nice pie crust malt supports oak, sweet cherry, and musty attic. Such a treat to have a really fruit-forward vintage. Pardon Me, Madame, Do You Have A Moment For Fancy Man Rights?

Drink'in Berliner BA Red Wine B

Fuck you, Mikkel. Rancid butter, box wine, some oxidation. This is really quite bad. Taste is sort of watery which is a modest improvement.

B.A. Black Biscuit B

Whiskey, maple, biscuit, some black patent, well-hidden alcohol. This was a lot more innovative 12 years ago, but still a good brew.

Geuze Mariage Parfait (2012) B

Starting to develop some malty oxidized flavors. Still very funky, with cheese rind and mushroom notes, and mild acid. Best before 2035 is a bit optimistic.

This has aged pretty gracefully. Malted grains with a nice bourbon kick.

George Bourbon BA B

Roasty, dark chocolate, Euro flavor profile with fusel bourbon wafting in and out. Coffee seems largely gone, but vanilla makes a cameo. No date on the cap, so vintage is a mystery.
