Sang Bleu (2024) Shannon

Savoury roasted meat and berries flavour for me. Pork / chicken / turkey and cranberry. Some sharpness on it. Bit of cola cubes?

Boon Kriek Selection Shannon

Sweet cherries, light balsamic and a bit of mulled spice on the nose. Tastes lighter, sharper and has a light funk about it. Bit of wine. 1/2. Not 1/3. No mucking about.

Sorbet! Limoncello Inspired Ale Shannon

Lemoncello and ever increasing honey flavour. Citrus lemon drizzle sweet aroma. Cakey. Unbalanced. Boozy. Not a beer. Reminds me of my lemoncello honey krupnik shooter.

Beer Geek Breakfast Shannon

From the stash guessing 2018 brewed at Lervig from the can. Bitter coffee, lost some of the sweetness for sure. Almost soapy hoppy aroma. Some chipotle. Used to be a 4. Dipped over time. Now getting a bit more interesting. 4 again.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa (2021) Shannon

Jinkies that is a thing of beauty. You can trust the US to make a cinnamon, vanilla, cocoa impy to taste like a Cinnabon bomb. I get coffee and coconut as well as the forementioned and it is a glorious diabetes inducer. That nose 😍.
