His Royal Hancurness hancurman

90 Minute Imperial IPA hancurman

Piney and resinous nose. Caramel and biscuity malt. Creamy mouthfeel. A joy of an imperial IPA.

Trop-Out hancurman

OK beer. Interesting as a yeast experiment. Slightly honey-ed finish but apart from that the end result is nothing special.

#12 DIPA hancurman

Hella punchy DIPA. The nose is stunning: fruit cocktail with the fierce chemistry lab smell of amplified hops. Pellet is sweet but also searing bitterness.

Gose To Hollywood hancurman

It’s like a slightly salty Orangina. I quite like it!

Black Malts & Body Salts 2.0 hancurman

Roast malt and coffee upfront. Dries the mid-pallet. Bitter af. Enjoyed this immensely.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) hancurman

Hoarded this one, but worth the wait! Happy Stout Day!

Stolen Seabuckthorns hancurman

Not as sour as I was expecting, and that’s a good thing! Pleasantly fruity sipper.

Malaphor hancurman

Smells like pain relief spray. Yum!

Oust hancurman

LCI Motueka really delivers. Superstar hop.

Mirror Me hancurman

The can said dry hopped so I had this out of an IPA glass. No ragrets

60 Minute IPA hancurman

This does bring a smile to my face😈

Malaphor hancurman

Good to the last drop. Definitely an IPA first with the roasted malt playing supporting act.

Dispersed Vertices Dry-hopped Hersbrucker Spät hancurman

Peaches / nectarines. Brettanomyces funk happily plays side by side with fresh herbal aromas from the Hersbrucker Spät hops.

Whirl Domination hancurman

440ml is the right size for this beer. Crisp, hoppy, refreshing. A hazy that doesn’t get cloying on hot days, and today has been an especially hot day indeed.

KBS Hazelnut (2022) hancurman

It’s not Nutella, but it’s pretty damn good.

George Bourbon BA hancurman

Oude Geuze Boon A L’Ancienne (2018-2019) hancurman

Dangerously Close To Stupid hancurman

Orange, candy sweetness, bitter. Old school. Love it.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa (2021) hancurman

Good synergies between the adjuncts, with the roasty and coffeey notes lurking in the background. Drinks hot, a little harsh on the palette. I want to like it more but no.

Rosé De Gambrinus (2022) hancurman

Geuze Mariage Parfait (2013) hancurman

Classic Gueuze (2022) hancurman

A very rare treat. Some of the best lambic funk at non-mind wiping ABV. Taste of apricots / nectarines mid-pallet. Some tealike astringency in the finish. Delicious!

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2020) hancurman

Gelateria Gelato Summer Gose hancurman

Very very desserty. It’s kinda heavy from the big cherry and almond flavors and the richness of the lactose. Can see it getting cloying in the summer heat. Nice evening tipple, though.

Oude Geuze Boon A L’Ancienne (2018-2019) hancurman

Not as refined as Mariage Parfait, but it’s all the better for it.

Geuze Mariage Parfait (2012) hancurman

Noses like an oak aged cider. On the pellet: woody and tart. So unlike the 2011 vintage which had a more prominent Bret character.

All Inclusive hancurman

Not a fan of the heavy guava presence in the nose, but it all comes together nicely on the pallet.

Breakfast Stout (2021) hancurman

Dominant coffee aroma. Fragrant oats. Slight smoke and acidity wets the palette. Coffee re-emerges in the finish. Finishes dry.

Breakfast Stout (2020) hancurman

There was no good reason to hold on to this bottle for so long. Thankfully it hasn’t diminished in flavor from sitting in my fridge.

Geuze Mariage Parfait (2011) hancurman

I probably bought this in 2015. Its evolved into something brilliant. Carbonation has calmed down ALOT and the bret is coming through strongly.

Porter hancurman

Porter hancurman

I’m having a chocolate brownie for tea. Perfect time to crack this open.

Porter hancurman

Definitive. Essential. Defining. Roasty, smoky, coffee, hoppy, dry. No gimmicks.

The Continent That Once Used To Absorb Flesh In Order To Achieve Divinity And Immortality (Suffocated To the Flesh That It Desired...) hancurman

Oh wow, this one tingles. Slight hop burn in the finish. Citra features prominently on the nose. Good interplay with the malt bill.

Stereo Mono: Cashmere hancurman

Tropical goodness. Mango, pineapple.

Stereo Mono: Mosaic hancurman

Dishwashing liquid lemon lime. I don’t take to Founders Mosaic IPA either.

Megalodome hancurman

Definite mango character. Strawberry was not as obvious. Pretty tasty DIPA hazy all the same. I’d have it again.

The Continent That Once Used To Absorb Flesh In Order To Achieve Divinity And Immortality (Suffocated To the Flesh That It Desired...) hancurman

Bottom of the keg, but I insisted on trying it. Incredibly green hop aroma. Next to no bitterness. Gotta get me a proper serving of this.

Oculus Orbus hancurman

Extreme tropical hop punch. It’s got that familiar aroma of Citra but amped up even higher. Massive mango aroma and pineapple flavors.

Porter hancurman

More roasty, more burnt coffee, less chocolate than I remember. Love the hop balance, though!

90 Minute Imperial IPA hancurman

Old skool IPA vibes continue. Resinous, dank, citrusy nose. Powerfully hoppy pallet, almost overwhelming the malt side. Dry finish.

Porter hancurman

Definitive American craft porter. Balanced, flavorful, roasty, smokey, hoppy. No adjuncts, no gimmicks.

Apricurrant hancurman

Juicier, less fizzy than the canned version. Apricot and blackcurrants do complement each other well.

Versus: Westward hancurman

It’s got that stinky hop note that I like. Meanwhile I’m not sure if the Eastside messed with my pallet but this isn’t very bitter.

Versus: Eastside hancurman

Oh wow, yet another hazy to make me eat my words.

Das Kölsch hancurman

Chugwork Orange hancurman

Enjoyed it so much when Mike shared with me, I had to get a can for myself. Was in the mood for this after having a nice mandarin orange earlier this afternoon and an orange jelly for dessert tonight.

House of Pale hancurman

Gotta hand it to To Øl for achieving the balance of modernity and accessibility, without straying into excess.

Whirl Domination hancurman

Pours a bright gold, bordering on fluorescent yellow. Slightly hazy. Tropical fruit. Stone fruit. Wheat aftertaste. It’d be nice if this came in bigger cans.

La Ferme hancurman

Mainly plum tartness on the palette. Not getting much of what makes this a saison. Thanks for sharing, Mike

Apricurrant hancurman

Well integrated fruit flavors. Not too challenging. If your into sours this will please you. Thanks to Mike for sharing.

Crackle hancurman

More on the peaty side than smokey. Goes well with the malty sweetness.

Breakfast Stout hancurman

Massive initial soy sauce hit on the nose, backing off in favor of green cold brewed coffee notes. The palette is classic Breakfast Stout.

Kriek Mariage Parfait (2017) hancurman

Ooh! Wow! Wasn’t expecting it to be this tart based on past experience with Boon’s Oude Kriek. Rustic, sweet, fruity, funky. Love it!

Goliat Bourbon Barrel Aged (2020) hancurman

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter hancurman

Prominent cherry note.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2020) hancurman

Founders Breakfast Stout and KBS vertical with Mike 😄 This was a lot less aggressive than the last KBS I had.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) hancurman

Founders Breakfast Stout and KBS vertical with Mike 😄 It’s basically a mudslide brownie and then chased with bourbon.

Breakfast Stout hancurman

Founders Breakfast Stout and KBS vertical with Mike 😄

Jule Mælk Tequila Edition hancurman

Ultra sweet, with fruity notes imparted by the ageing on tequila oak chips. Happy early Christmas!

Illuminations hancurman

It’s got everything I like about Stone’s Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA. Brilliant!

Spheros hancurman

Decidedly new-school. Ultra juicy.

Spheros hancurman

Straight from the can. The burger I had at dinner brought out the dry and bitter character of this beer. Hurray!

Spheros hancurman

Straight from the can, this one.

Spheros hancurman

Excellent nose, but for a brewery named Dry & Bitter, there’s little bitterness to this one.

Sur Citra hancurman

Smells like a Vietnamese wet market.

Fuck Art - The Heathens Are Coming hancurman

I love this! Herbal, green aroma at reliably To Øl levels. Slight Brett funk. Apples. Wish I’d ordered the full pint.

Stress Test hancurman

Smoky nose but none of the anticipated savouriness; so sweet on the palate. Indeed a stress test for your notions of lager yeast.

Nemesis (2021) hancurman

Deep amber, almost venturing into stout / Baltic porter territory. So resinous and tongue-coating hoppy too.

Spontandryhop Mosaic hancurman

Past best by date. Not notably hoppy or fruity, but there was a pleasant maltiness that integrated well with the tartness and funk.

Spontandryhop Centennial hancurman

Past best by so the hops are not as bright, but it still tastes and smells great.

Lilt-Edged hancurman

Well executed with copious amounts of tropical pineapple, mango and passion fruit, but I’m not really with the current trend of fruit juice and hops beers. If you are, though…

Chugwork Orange hancurman

Rich, full mouthfeel. Didn’t taste much like a beer at all. Thanks Mike for sharing!

Panther Cub (2021) hancurman

Starts out smelling like a shot of bourbon, then the maple syrup and vanilla interact as the beer warms up and it comes into its own, like some sort of scented body powder. It’s altogether too sweet for my liking.

Dirty Bastard hancurman

Full-bodied, grassy, some bitterness. Great to drink.

Interstratal Abyss hancurman

Pretty enjoyable when I got about halfway in and the tropical fruit character started to shine through.

Double Dippy Doo hancurman

It’s a nice hazy.

Oude Geuze A L’Ancienne VAT 108bis Mono Blend hancurman

A mellow, less rustic Boon. Very slight barrel aged character.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2019) hancurman

Pretty strong... the only beer I could think of that would stand up to toasted marshmallow ice cream.

Black Buffalo (Barrel Aged Buffalo Trace) hancurman

A one of a kind beer. Feels like we’ve come full circle with this. I’m glad to have shared it with the bros.

Oude Geuze Boon - Bone Dry Mikkeller Selection hancurman

Funky like Bootsy Collins ⭐️

Oude Schaarbeekse Kriek (2019) hancurman

Mature, ripe, refined.

Stedsegrøn / Evergreen hancurman

Full bodied for 3.5 ABV.

Oude Geuze White Vermouth Foeders hancurman

Fairly straightforward Boon geuze. Not picking up anything distinctively vermouth-like.
