Vigneronne (2017)

Fantastic balance of funky-sweet-tart and zest. Really hitting its stride.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019)

Light barrel. Dark chocolate. But I’d order on the reg if it was available

Porter

Classic

Nath (2017)

Drinking fantastic. Hitting all the lambic boxes.

Lotta earth

Drogone Lambic (2021)

Too much wine, and grape for me

Utopias Barrel-Aged 120 Minute IPA (2023)

Utopias Barrel-Aged 120 Minute IPA (2023)

Drinking too early. One of the few that actually ages well. Notable difference from a bottle open just a couple months ago.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019)

Fantastic body. Light molasses. Light coffee. Excellent overall.

Wake Up World Wide Stout (2022)

Coffee first stout. Not the biggest body. But big enough. And no green pepper.

Utopias Barrel-Aged 120 Minute IPA (2023)

Kinda sits in a grey zone. Was expecting an American Barleywine- but doesn’t come thru w enough body. Not much of a malt presence. Initially real sweet. And drinks like a thin liquor. A bit disappointed actually. Certainly prefer reg 120 min.

Blushing Monk (2015)

Out fricken standing. 8 years old and just crushing it. Perfect body. Perfect carbonation. Some froth that lasted 10-15 min, easy. A delicious strawberry-raspberry pie filling. Just the lightest of funk. Early entrant into fav beer of the year.

Fou' Foune (2017)

Stunner.

60 Minute IPA

Kriek 100% Lambic Bio (2016)

Fridge even froze it by accident. Lost a bit of the water. Was expecting disappointment. Got more fruit. Very surprised.

Lemon Quest

Little too much lemon purée for my preference. An odd tang.

Utopias Barrel - Aged World Wide Stout (2021)

3.9- Dark fruits are the main show. Drinks a bit hot in the present state. But even that said- I wouldn’t call it boozy. 17.3 will need a year or 3 to really hit its stride. Medium body. Wasn’t much carbonation. Leo F.

Vigneronne (2020)

Light funk. Excellent acidity balance.

Blushing Monk (2019)

Boy did this beer need a few years. What started out almost painful to sip and exceptionally medicinal has rounded out into a very nice delicious raspberry pie filling. Wouldn’t call it soft- but at 9.2% it’s a real nice sipper, just full of fruit.

50 Degrees N - 4 Degrees E (Armagnac) (2017)

Leans toward uncarb. Super funky

Raison D'Extra (2018)

Initially, I thought it drank a few years older than an ‘18. But at room temp, sips nicely. The sugars from the raisins provide a great natural mask for the booze. $10/ 12oz bottle is steep. But from time to time, I’d scope out again.

Saint Lamvinus (2012)

Just wasn’t poppin.

Fou' Foune (2019)

Probably one of the funkiest ‘new’ Fou I have ever had. Very outstanding.
