Ashanti (2023) Pences

Rich and aromatic on the front end. No real heat from the pepper, maybe a tiny bit on the very back end. In between there's a kind of tartness over and above the lambic. Almost a kind of kumquat citrus peel note? Really exciting, would drink lots more.

Sang Bleu (2023) Pences

This is really delightful! The berries in here are huge tannin and tartness, almost a currant flavor. Totally my jam.

Magic Lambic Pences

Wow, that's a massive amount of fruit, and the vanilla rounds off the tartness of the fruit. The balance is great.

Russia Stout Pences

At least here, now rebaptized the Sunflower Russian Stout. 🇺🇦 Just a classic basic stout, little bit of sugar, big roast, low ABV.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa (2021) Pences

Really cinnamon forward, just barely not unbalanced. Vanilla, coffee, chocolate, and barrel all provide nice base notes, but the cinnamon is definitely the star. Sweet, but not too sweet.

KBS Espresso (2020) Pences

The extra coffee here is extremely well done: it doesn't get any off green pepper note at all despite having a massive coffee nose and finish. Really great.

Lambic d'Aunis Pences

Really subtle grape in this, despite the bright red color. Very nice tannic finish, grape skin. All these wine varietals are just so good.

Sophia Lambic Pences

Maybe the best white wine-style lambic I've ever had. Grape pomace stayed in amphora for 6mo before meeting the 2yo lambic.

Piacere Pences

Almost on the borderland between light wine and lambic: you might be able to sell it as a natural light red, like a Beaujolais.

Grand Cru Bruocsella Brut (2016) Pences

Really exceptional: the flavor of old lambic, with extra oak, but then refermented so that it's actually got some carbonation. Delicious.

Más Agave Pences

I want to like this more, but something about it doesn't quite work for me. Too much sugar giving it a kinda lime candy flavor?

Mamouche Pences

The combo of lambic and elderflower is excellent. The floral notes taste almost fresh, there's a note of chewing on the flowers. Lovely.

Fou' Foune (2019) Pences

Realized we have some older apricot hanging around, don't want to let the stone fruit fall off here. Still beautifully fruity, though. But the rumors that it gets sourer are definitely true!

Great hazelnut coffee brown, really smooth and sweet but not cloying. Dangerously doesn't seem like a 9%.

Undulate V8 Pences

Definite rye note from the grain, some good roast notes, but not that heavy overall -- paradoxically lighter than the Baltic porter v7. Still really tasty, though, a lovely drinkable stout.

Undulate v7 Pences

A big rich, thick Baltic porter. Clean finish, big roast. I could drink loads of this.
