Rip Van Winkle World Wide Stout

LCI - Oscar party. It was all boozy booze and some oxidized sweet caramel. Like a fusel barelwine. Not my thing. Not worth the $65 I paid for this novelty lol

Mamouche

2014 vintage, 10 years old. Drinking literally perfect right now. Floral, complex, woody, balanced. A little tart on the edge of the tongue. No acidity. Wow

Grenache Noir 2021

Out the bottle, it has a cheesy funky finish that reminds me of kriek in an in between phase. After sitting for 30 min, that goes away. It's good, but it lacks uniqueness or complexity right now. I think this one needs a lot more time to age and develop

Gueuze Tourbée

Mossy, peaty, sea salty nose and wood. Way too smoky and peaty on the taste. It's weird and not as smoky as straight scotch but it doesn't do great with the lambic. Weird in a weird way. One of my less fave loons

Lambic Jaune (2017)

Another home run cantillon. It's like they stripped the lemon from the 2020 belge bottle and dialed down the carb do get a lively woody complex and very lightly funky loon.

Lambic d'Aunis

Cedar woodiness expressing along with a lemony forward grape character from the wine when tasted side by side (by this I mean the wine has a lemony component distinct from std cantillon profile). The woodiness here is much more prominent than most loons
