Tristan Sanders

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2016) 12.4% Sanders

Verrry smooth. Bit cloying right at the end.

Classic Gueuze (2022) Sanders

Attracting all the fruit flies from miles around, such is the pungency of the (unfruited) beer. I'm often sniffy about Cantillon, but this is class. Deeply okay, lemon yoghurt in a farmyard. Well lush.

Spontanquadrupelblueberry Sanders

Five. Why the hell not? Huge oak, more tannic than I remember? Best smelling beer of all time. Statement.

Cù't Cá Phê Bia Sanders

Soy. Coffee. Catweasel. Bit all over the place. Lots of catweasel.

Sundried Saison Sanders

Could only be. Great can art, but... a little dull?

Mandarina Gose Sanders

Wow. That's beautiful. Metallic mandarin offset by a creamyness, touch of vanilla pannacotta. Mint. Lemon. Gorgeous, so well made.

Midsummer Dream 2021 Sanders

Very floral.

North German Pils Sanders

Light, crisp. Mebs expected a little more given the provenance.

Imperial Stout Sanders

Fantastic. Beautifully made, doesn't shout, really smooth and balanced. Like a Danish Kernel. Top grade beer.

Saint Lamvinus Sanders

Draft. To think I once found lambic undrinkable. If anything, the criticism here is it's unremarkabiliy. Perfectly good, really nice raisin stickiness. One of my favourites of theirs. But only a 4.0.

George Bourbon BA Sanders

Thirteen point eight percent. Six pound eighty a THIRD. Fucktonne of bourbon, booze is there for sure but vanilla addition plus the obvious barreling makes it way too smooth, at least when cold. Creamy tiramisu.

Spontantripleraspberry (2019) Sanders

Wibble jibber raspberries. And oak. And layers of wowness. Here's the rub with Mikkeller: I don't know anyone who makes sours like this anywhere, not even close. I hope they sort themselves out and it starts with taking their staff seriously.

Spontanquadrupelblueberry 2018 Sanders

Back on it. Wasn't actually meant to have it earlier ahead of embargo! Fuck it, it's a 5.

Spontanquadrupelblueberry 2018 Sanders

LCBF21. Let's kick things off with, oh I dunno... this? Exquisite. Huge fruit hit. Barrel ageing coming through nicely. Utter banger.

Beer Geek Fudgesicle Sanders

LCBF21. Big, chewy... fudge. Top drawer.

K:rlek Vår/Sommar (2021) Sanders

Bright, refreshing, lite.

Deep Passion Pool Sanders

Big chunk of passion fruit upfront as you'd hope, briney in the middle (tick) but can't hide the booze at the finish. Dank cardboard at the end. Not as balanced as the lite version.

Passion Pool Sanders

Cor, that's banging. Big sour slabs of passion fruit. Quite mineraly, mega juicy and super crushable. Again!

Spontandoubleblueberry Sanders

Celebratory beer (NOR 7-0 HUD), keeping it classy. Lveoly light oakiness in the background behind plenty of fruit as you'd expect. Splendid.

Spontanblueberry Sanders

Oldish bottle, not really acidy at all, so much berry depth. The Penta version of this is The Best Beer of All Time and am pleased to report this tastes like a dialled back variant. 💜
