Blueberry 🫐🫐🫐 and coffee β˜•β˜•β˜• is not really a duo I like in a beer. Conflicted. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Utopias Barrel-Aged 120 Minute IPA Doc

Everything it should be! Both beers are epic in their own right but the melding of hop density and barrel treatments is a sure fired winner. Soft for the heavy booze compliment. Caramel, heavy bread, and bitterness. 😎😎😎

Highball Drifter (2022) Doc

Pretty tasty! Orange 🍊 and cherry πŸ’ rich and graced with a boozy, warm compliment of bourbon. Tastes sweeter but I'm sure this is just the 11% playing with taste perception. Pre supper sipper.

Lou Pepe Kriek (2018) Doc

It's lovely...exactly as it's supposed to be. This has been cellared nicely. Tart, earthy, leather glove with a clear window on bitterness to brighten and round out the fruit. πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’. Crisp, champagne carbonation. Thx T and E for this lovely πŸ‹πŸ‹πŸ‹.

Backwoods Bastard (2022) Doc

Caramel circus of rich malts, verging on buttery. Char, smoke and bourbon. Barrel tannins bloom late in the experience. This is always a treat and pairs perfectly with brother 🐝's home made brandy soaked fruit cake πŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“

60 Minute IPA Doc

Marmalade on fresh, dark bread. Been so long since I logged one in. Still a malt bomb with solid bitterness, citrus spreads and devoid of oats. Clear and piney. Pairs with Letter KennyπŸ€“πŸ€“πŸ€“

RosΓ© de Gambrinus (2021) Doc

Raspberry bramble, herbaceous, bright, tart. Bit vinegar forward as opposed to funk. Solid tannic finish. May improve with age as it's still young. Tart but not yet complex.

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio (2022) Doc

Happy summer solstice🌞🌞🌞. Tight raft of foam, such lovely carbonation. Peach flesh, stone fruit skins and stone fruit stone tannins. Bit short in it's delivery. Missing that lovely match stick reduction that I get in 3F. A treat.

If this is a personal best I would be very afraid of the personal worst....brutal even for a non alcoholic beer. Malty and insipid.

Panther Cub (2021) Doc

Kiss of barrel but not a huge amount of bourbon. It does , however retain that lovely Founders dark chocolate middle and a vanilla pasty suggestion. At 9% this is insanely gulpable...and suddenly, my glass is empty. Excellent.

120 Minute IPA (2015) Doc

Malt circus and I love it! Delivers like a hopped up sherry at this ABV with malt bill notes approximating a dense rye bread taste. Brisk, prickling carbonation meets the tongue, with a sweet syrupy soft bitterness that rises and falls in waves. πŸ˜€πŸ‘πŸ˜˜
