This was a treat but nothing earth shattering in execution, toasty and roast forward with a touch of rauch complexity to balance out the chocolate and barrel profile. Good but nothing to finger your dickhole over. Much better can be had for much less.

1200 bottle Japanese lambics by way of Belgium. Business as usual on this site

This is fantastically refreshing and the nose is Sierra mist, lemon zest, limeade, hot dog on a stick juicedrink, and this acidic crispness like an Anjou pear

The mouthfeel is surprisingly sticky but closes with the muddled lemon and grapefruit and a sort of sprite wash. You could crush these endlessly if they weren’t $60+ a bottle. It is balanced and nuanced, less complex than the UME but certainly unlike any lambic I have tasted. Def recommended

This is a pretty delicious, lightly oxidize Belgian dubbel with more dark fruits and a turbinado sugar profile on the finish. Carb is gentle and it has a light silky mouthfeel that imparts dates and figs before it goes on it’s 18 year old way off to undergrad

The saison made the whiskey itself seem inferior. Top 50 farmhouse for sheeze

Delicious cherry and Merlot tannins in an ultra thin body, incredibly drinkable with a lingering blackberry Pinot character that resonates with a sort of mineral hard water finish.

I could crush Upright offerings like Master Shredder in TMNT the movie

I was expecting a D’erpeteau experience and it wasn’t far off but there is also a grassy protein to the mouthfeel with this slight tinge of lacto balancing things out. The carb is insane and hilarious because those spelt casings don’t metabolize down just a big soapy head like a late 90s rave.

Nose is honey, slightly herbal and a sort of kent goldings gentle hop presence, another unsurprisingly good and underrated offering from these Pennsylvania jerks.

Don’t tell your friends. Your parents won’t love you as much if you tell them about our secret saison game we play.

The other bottle from The original release was far superior. This was an intense barrel character and thinned out body that was a platform for indefatigable oak and bourbon that resonated with pepper and crackly toasted caramel.

The 2008 was markedly better than the 09 and I could taste the 550 bottle count .rar in the malts. The 2008 is aging gracefully and is the best vintage after 2012, the 2009 is nothing exceptional beyond the pre-lawsuit allure of the label.

Both tasty, but the 2008 is a world class barley wine that gets my barrels pulsing.

I am confident that the label designer has a hella small dick.

I still prefer Dweller but I think I am in the minority on that front. There are not many analogs to this but if I had to pick one it would be Dry Hopper Brett D’Or from Crooked Stave. This has a more minerally Brett aspect to it that exudes that brettangomeeeches profile hand over fist.
