Beer Geek Fudgesicle

I had the same idea on this rainy and cold summer day as Abel v. ! πŸ‘ŠπŸ» Fudge it is, but a bit too one-dimensional and sweet (15,5% lactose!) for me.

All Day IPA

I wondered why it was so cheap (€1,27 in the local Spanish supermarket) until I learned that it's brewed by Mahou. Relatively sweet, a bit of bitterness in the aftertaste. Still OK for this price.

Spontanlingonberry

Vintage Spontanlingonberry from the Mikkeller Beer Club. While cold it kicks in with notes of fresh mint followed by berry fruitiness. When it warms up a bit, it's just tart and lots of berries. Nice one! MBC 02/2021
