Blithering Idiot (2005) from Weyerbacher Brewing Co. (Easton, United States 🇺🇸)

6.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5

2005 bottle. Pours very dark, but definitely malty brown. No bubbles. Some oxidation in the nose, but also, a full malt snoot. Taste shows some brown English-style malts, but not as strong as it could be. Very slight effervescence, a papery oxidation taste over some maltiness. Any hop bitterness has long faded away.

6.9/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7

Light hazy gold pour with a slightly yellowish, foamy head.
Smell is mild pine and resin. And, um, envelop glue? Not in a bad way.
Taste is mild: light toasty malt and light hop, more balanced than bitter. Hop smell does go on while I’m sipping it.

The Narthex from Solemn Oath Brewery (Naperville, United States 🇺🇸)

8.9/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 9 Texture 9 Overall 9

BA sale lot at Solemn Oath, dated 11/4/25. As guessed, the beer gushed a bit when opening, and some sticky brew on my hands. Pours black with a brown edge, slight fizz that's already gone. Smell is not stouty, suggests a lot of abbey ale malt bill, with bourbon by its side. Great taste like a bourbon aperitif, mellow and syrupy. Each swig fills my mouth with sweet, malty and boozy joy.

Another can from Binny's. Straw color in the glass, a sudsy head. Nose has basic IPA bitterness. Tastes starts off high and dry. Regular hop bitterness in abundance. Sticks to a basic IPA premise, with obvious brut dryness.

Piece de Resistance from Goldfinger Brewing Company (Downers Grove, United States 🇺🇸)

7.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7.5

Golden pils color, nice and clear. A puffy white head that dwindled while we were trying to figure out a credit card. Nose is golden toasty malt, a hint of yeast and hop spice. Solid light lager taste, though not much pilsener character; still, bubbles delivery some prickly hop. No stickiness, and no aftertaste.
