Palo Santo Marron (2024) Dearlove

Drank alongside B1. Had a fruity quality to it...maybe some spice too

Fou' Foune (2010) Dearlove

Nice to revisit this one after 4yrs. Damn good vintage that still delivers. Thanks, Jay!

Lou Pepe Gueuze (2013) Dearlove

Haven't had this vintage in about 5 years. Still f-ing amazing. Thanks, Jay!

Classic Gueuze (2005) Dearlove

Great job by the staff at The Sovereign, yesterday. This was fantastic!

Zwanze 2024 - MMXXIV Dearlove

Love the creativity but this was a low mark in a day of amazing beers. Taste was better than the nose.

Cuvée Saint-Gilloise (Champions) (2023) Dearlove

Mistakenly ordered a big pour of this and there were zero complaints. Killer freshie

Gueuze (2023) Dearlove

14 June 2023 bottle.

Oloroso Barrel-Aged Olde School Barleywine Dearlove

Smooth with a punch of sherry and loads of dates coming through.

75 Minute IPA Dearlove

On cask. Had to be done. Wish it wasn’t so cold but still tasty.

Tyrnilambic Baie d'Argousier (2018) Dearlove

Not familiar with the sea buckthorn but this was very tasty. The nose left a lot to be desired but that taste, thankfully, didn’t follow.

Sang Bleu (2023) Dearlove

More acidic than I recall the draft version I had at Monk’s. Still happy to share the bottle with some DE boys

Super underrated Cantillon, imo.

Gueuze (2021) Dearlove

8 June 2021 bottle.

Palo Santo Marron (2008) Dearlove

B1? Regardless, this has aged really well. Thanks, Jason!

Bourbon Barrel-Aged Olde School (2022) Dearlove

Really enjoyed this one. Very smooth. Looking forward to letting my other bottle age a bit.

Vigneronne (2020) Dearlove

Liked this better than the 2019 Muscat version.

Fou' Foune (2012) Dearlove

10 yr old and drinking really well. Thanks for dusting this one off, Bill.

Moeder Lambic Fontainas Cuvée X Browsel Dearlove

Nuit Bruxelloise (2019) Dearlove

Into the Wine. The wine was quite sharp with loads of tannins. Beer was more balanced.

Lambic d’Aunis (2021) Dearlove

Into the Wine.

Drogone Lambic (2019) Dearlove

Into the Wine. Poured from a Mag. This was fantastic.

Muscat Petits Grains Dearlove

Into the Wine event

Beck- Hartweg 2021 Dearlove

Catching up…from Into the Wine tasting.

Mamouche (2021) Dearlove

Was not a fan of this one. Tomatillo flavor was pretty off putting and unexpected. Don’t remember getting that flavor from other Mamouche.

Wild Friendship (2022) Dearlove

Still catching up from Quintessence.

Gueuze +2+3+4 (2011) Dearlove

2nd to last beer of the session and this one still stood out. After a couple of days of grape heavy lambic, all the aged Gueuze really left an impression.

Saint Lamvinus (1994) Dearlove

Surprisingly lively for almost 30yr old lambic . A bit acidic on the finish but still a privilege to try this one. Batch one is legit.

Vent D’Est Dearlove

I may be in the minority on this one but I enjoyed it.

Gueuze Spéciale (2019) Dearlove

From last night.

Garage beer w/Sluggo. Wouldn’t have guessed the oat milk but ok.

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio (2020) Dearlove

Lou Pepe Kriek (2017) Dearlove

Not a huge Kriek fan but this was amazing. Deep red, cherry pie spice. Slight sweetness, tart and funk with a dry finish. Sublime.

Iris (2013) Dearlove

12/23/13 bottle. 4.35. Tart and musty with a funky hop assault. Nice to have an older bottle. Worked well with some Point Reyes blue cheese! Thanks for digging this out, Bill.

Magic Lambic (2020) Dearlove

Fresh bottle. Love the vanilla and berry combo. That touch of vanilla really mellows the acidity. Fruit goodness and what looked like new corks for Cantillon.

Lambic d'Aunis (2019) Dearlove

Cuvée Saint-Gilloise (Champions) (2019) Dearlove

Fou' Foune (2010) Dearlove

Catching up on Friday night. Amazed at how fruity this was 10yrs on. An absolute banger, as the kids say!

Menu Pineau (2019) Dearlove

Grape skins, must and funk. Thanks, Jay!
