Sang Bleu (Camerise)

Slight funk in the nose. Dry, tangy, berry flavor with wine notes. Every ingredient from Cantillon is organic, especially the wild yeast and bacteria. Yum.

Velvet Rush

Coffee, bourbon, vanilla, and caramel. Good in the brown ale base, but I would like this better in a porter base. As is it’s just a bit thin.

Palo Santo Marron

So smooth. Does not taste like 11 or 12%. I wonder if this is still the original barrel. It could be my taste buds, but I think it has lost a step.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge

Amazing aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, and a gentle nudge of bourbon. Rich and satisfying and the alcohol was very soft and cuddly. Drinking this one with Ross via FT.
