Lou Pepe Kriek (2011) O'Brien

2nd pour and I'm very ok with that. Fruity present cherries πŸ’, earthy tart cherry skins. Mild acidity & musty barn wood funk. Dash of cinnamon & sweet with a slightly dry finish. Excellent vintage, worth the wait. Cheers 🍻.

Utopias Barrel - Aged World Wide Stout (2021) O'Brien

Deep, dark, very barrel forward sipper stout. Notes of sherry, tawny port, dates, fig, earthy vanilla, dark toffee, leather, tobacco, malty in the mix. At a kick in the mads of 17.3% I will be nursing the teets off of this gem.

Kriek Mariage Parfait (2015) O'Brien

Tart earthy cherry, bone dry oak & yeasty funk, light touch of cinnamon. Touch flat & slightly oxidized. Beer is built to last with a best before date of 8/2036. This batch already taste old when lambics are built to last & age gracefully.
