Beer Geek Triple Flat White

Espresso upfront, then rich chocolate truffle before the creamy sweet lactose, trace of vanilla, smooth as you like, braw.

George Bourbon BA

It's a hefty KBS. Masterful barreling, had to take a second look at the adjuncts. Chocolate, mocha, big coconut, caramel, biscuit, vanilla, drinks far below it's 14%, really super stuff.

Spontanquadrupelraspberry

Something nice from the cellar for the inaugural cook. Crazy intense raspberry, acidic tang, big tannins, reminded me of a crazy version of Duchess at points, somehow dries out out, lovely gear.

KBS

Bbe 01/17. Milk chocolate, cocoa powder, coconut, vanilla, molasses, always though bourbon becomes more prominent over time, lovely as per.

Trippelbock Frederiksdal Cherries

Barking, and I was willing it on, but just doesn't work. Proper sour cherry, port, bit of a buckfast vibe, some toasted malts but largely lost, swing and a miss for me.

Beer Geek Fudgesicle BA Rye Whiskey

Smells heavy coconut, initial taste same, then vanilla, butterscotch, fudge brownie batter, a slight chocolate tinged roast, really silky smooth, barrel fully integrated, very good stuff.

Rübæus

The wheaty biscuit malts all that is differentiating it from raspberry pop. Pretty nice all the same.

Underground Mountain Brown (2020)

Chocolate/caramel base beer, very nice quality fruity acidic fresh coffee, as expected with the brewer the bourbon works really well, all vanilla/fudge/no heat. Lovely, one rate down from the similar/superior Tempest ATLAB.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020)

Omnipollo fear quickly abated. Big milky chocolate upfront, strong ground coffee, rich maple, nutella, but nothing that sweet somehow, vanilla bourbon barrel, fantastically balanced, beautiful.

Santa's Hoppy Helpers

Sweet caramel biscuit malts, slick, feels a bit hefty booze wise, bit sweet overall.

Very musty, lifeless, a tad too much vinegar.

Oude Schaarbeekse Kriek Boon (2018)

Bit more to it than the '19, more musty funk, still cherry jam forward entry level stuff, very nice though.

Henry & Irma Vinter Hygge IPA

Chewy caramalt, pithy orange, bitterness needing ramped up for up for me, finishes sweet, nice.

Barrel Runner (2018)

Was shite fresh, slightly less shiter having aged. The drain even protested.

Oude Geuze Goût Américain

Gaviscon-prompting acidity, orange peel, a very light leather, too far to the acidic for me.
