Iris (2004) Thompson

Funky, tart, and a semi-dry finish. Very complex. Stone fruit, a bit of wood, and a lingering funkiness. Fantastic lambic. Crazy the flavor is still so strong after 20 years.

KBS Thompson

It's probably been 7 years since I had this. Relatively thin body compared to modern stouts. Plenty of coffee and cocoa. A bit of bourbon on the finish. Semi-sweet finish. Pretty old-school still, but very solid.

Breakfast Stout Thompson

Extremely roasty chocolate malts and coffee. Finishes with a bit of sweetness, but mostly dry throughout. A classic.

Rose De Gambrinus (2023) Thompson

Dry raspberry with a hint of sourness. Very well balanced.

Kriek 100% Lambic Thompson

Mildly sour cherries and wheat. Soft body. Could have a stronger flavor, but very well balanced.

KBS Blueberry Thompson

Soft mouth feel. Coffee and roasty blueberry. A bit of bourbon on the finish. Solid.

Nitro CBS (2019) Thompson

Age has definitely mellowed the flavors. Maple at first, then chocolate roasted malts and some barrel on the finish. Well balanced and not overly sweet.

Mash Test Yummies Thompson

Coffee and dark chocolate. Very sweet. Some vanilla and barrel on the finish. Very solid.

Classic Gueuze (2017) Thompson

Cork seemed a bit compromised. Some black around it and was a little wet. Still very good. Extremely well balanced. Sour, moderately funky, and very smooth.

Sang Bleu (2023) Thompson

Dark, red berries. Tart, earthy finish. Mild sourness. Great, very well balanced lambic.

Fou' Foune Thompson

One of my white whales. Not as jammy as some of the batches are supposed to be. Still perfectly balanced. Tart, sour apricots with a mildly funky finish. Apricot jam flavor on the finish too. Great beer, but other vintages are probably better.

Oude Schaarbeekse Kriek Boon Thompson

2018 vintage. Fairly light cherry, and a light funkiness. Dry finish. Good, refreshing lambic.
