Dangerously Close To Stupid O

Savage beer, wouldn’t know it had such a high ABV. Booze masked well, hops all over the place and doesn’t have that oversweet quality like most IIPAs do for once.

Hop Opera O

Beautiful beer, smooth and easy drinking with a great mouthfeel, nicely balanced between tropical fruity/malty sweetness and a sharp, dry bitterness. High ABV masked well, no huge booze hit like you’d expect.

Big Luscious (2020) O

Bitter chocolate & Raspberry in your face but a little over sweet, tastes strongly of the formerly blue foiled truffle in a box of Roses. Definitely more sweet than anything. Would struggle through a full bottle, glad it was split!

Geuze Mariage Parfait (2015) O

Funky, dry, mental goodness. Nothing less than amazing beer. I need not say more. Ye all know this is epic.

Porter O

Quality porter. Milk chocolate, light caramel, roasted coffee notes, great body, creamy and absolutely sessionable. Could sip away at this all day. First porter by Founders I’ve had. Great beer. Also, in love with this glass!

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) O

Simply class. Thick, woody, smooth, silky, sweet, maple, bittersweet dark chocolate. Everything you want and more. First of the KBS I’ve ever had, regretting not getting every other one I’ve seen.

Resting Brew Face O

Dangerously drinkable, seriously juicy, low rounded bitterness and very smooth. Booze hits you on the back end. Brewed at Toøl. Came from the Carthusian Box.

Oude Geuze Boon à l'Ancienne - VAT 92 Mono Blend O

So subtle for a lambic, really soft with stone fruit and so much barrel present. It’s like a blend of a farmhouse ale and a lambic. Wow I love this.

Rosé de Gambrinus O

Special sauce. What a delight to drink, super clean flavours, mild on the funk but absolutely delicious.

Oude Geuze Boon à l'Ancienne - VAT 91 Mono Blend O

Probably the smoothest Lambic I’ve had. Smooth, dry, subtle and fruity. Loving this!
