This tastes crazy old for this vintage. This is pumpkin, caramel, fennel, some earthy legumes and a strange musky canvas dryness like a shoe store. There is a crazy strange gourd and distinctively fall/root vegetable thing that is okay I guess. Yams are fine if your cousin throws in an HJ. Don’t make it weird.
NOT BEINF EXCITED ABOUT A TOME MY T LEVELS ARE AT AN ALL TIME LOW
Not my jam, not all ghosts can follow inhabit , some just haunt. This is perhaps a great paring beer but just too strange to go solo and the weird soapy finish just hasn’t held up over time. I love tomes but this is one you can avoid unless you are a god tier ghost completionist like Dunt.
Or Dbellz.
Sometimes versatility doesn’t lead to solid results
This 2010 banger is not as musky or oxy as anticipated but still exhibits a solid Brett B profile and leather character coupled with mango and papaya chewiness to the finishing grist that is very tasty.
Sticky citrus ghost
Doesn’t like tomes . Doesn’t know why. Loves hyper-acidic AWAs, doesn’t know why.
This ghost has this mimosa carb, light creaminess, orange 50/50 bar and juicy tangerine. It is still a traditional wallonia banger cut with Donald Duck orange juice.
When you tell your regular traders you can’t trade tomes any more
I will tell you this but I swear to fuck you better not tell these n00b tickers. Tome is back on again and ratchets be slipping down them jordache cut offs. This is new but funky hay meets caramel and musky with crazy cherry and green apple. This is different from even those 2010 bottlings of this were not up to this quality. That brick lined mash tun keeping offshelf ballers in the dark making their weak ass latex jokes.
Praying these tomes stay on the shelf. Praying shortsighted neophytes still think Saisons and AWA are the same thing.
I got the sickest vendetta to whelp some online tickers for they chedda
Whelp game strong
Condolambic still not a recognized style wtf
I don’t need to tell you how good this seeeeason is, and if you don’t already know, I don’t want to tell you .
It is really delicious. I can’t really comment much more on it. Fuck what more do you want from me.
Remember back when I said dweller was the closest beer to Doesjel America had ever made? Well consider this DoesFoune…jel. The musk is there and it executes like b2-b3 Beat and that sort of imitation Belgian funk that only really Allagash comes close to approximating. It is all there, carpet, vacuum bags, and wet jackets. The real difference is the sharp acidity that smells like tropical starburst and fresh cut mango. I know it is apricots but the interplay with the sharp cheddar notes takes the acidity.
This is a touch too low on the ph and the acidity stifles some of the finer gristy funk, but that is also part of the AWA heritage so it makes sense. It is just a shame that the nuanced Brett is swept undertow with the acid, but I am sure the Side Project fanboy cadre will stroke it to that aspect. I love that such awesome offerings are being silently sniped from relatively unknown sources. If you try nothing else from these two breweries, try this. It is a culmination of the best work from both Funk factory and O’so and it is well worthy of your attention.
Wat if I told you this is damn near on that Chez Monus level?
