27 February 2026. BCBS Tasting @ Stacks (Sint-Kruis). Cheers to Ward for hosting the event! Thanks to Tony for sharing!
Light brown sugar ('kinnekessuiker' as it were), blueberry pancake, maple syrup, vanilla cream, frappuccino. Very sweet caramel, maple syrup, light brown sugar again on the tongue, thick milk-chocolatey maltiness, some freeze-dried blueberries. Light tart, berry-like finish, lingering maple syrup, faint herbal hops. Full body, thin oily texture, soft carbonation. The blueberries lend a welcome refreshing accent, albeit on the artifical side; overall, a bit too sugary.

Ciemnobrunatne nieprzezroczyste piwo z mizerną pianą. Aromat suszonych owoców zanieczyszczonych nutami oleju. W smaku lepiej dużo nut ciemnych suszonych owoców, dość słodko przełamane lekką kwasowością. Alkohol znakomicie ukryty. W sumie niecałkiem mi podeszło
