10 August 2019. At Belgian Beer Geek Tasting. Cheers to the crew, thanks for hosting, Tim! Hazy brown-reddish, lasting, unstable, foamy, tan head. Aroma of sherry, red grapes, wood, brioche, red apple, cake, caramel. Taste is medium fruity sour, grapes & berries over bretty, leathery & bitter woody notes, herbal next to sweetish malt, cake & apple. Dryish, tart, lingering red grape, wood, brett. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Very unusual brew, works well.

Leighton’s 20K at his posh new gaff! Thanks to Leighton for another rare opportunity to try a beer from this brewery, wish I could have appreciated it more. Hazy amber beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Modest tartness. Ripe berry fruits. Trace of must. Light semi dry finish. Not enough going on here to really grab me.
