All ratings displayed on this site are personal opinions, and are not neccesarily to be seen as professional reviews. Some of these beers have been drank in conditions that were far from optimal. If you'd like a professional review of your beer, please contact me. Always interested in meeting up/sharing beers / trading beer . Next to beer, I have a big passion for Ice cider, Mead, and Sherry. Exploring the wine and spirit world asside of this all. Allow me to explain a bit on how I score. These are based on personal enjoyment. Quality & 'in style' are part of that enjoyment, but won't totally make or break a drink, if I myself have a different opinion. Whiskey : Rated on the website 'whiskeybase' ( account Kraddell ) Wine : Rated on the App / Site 'Vivino' ( Account named Kraddel . ) <-- with the dot. Still searching a medium for other spirits, so those aren't online for now. If you know anything, let me know ;) For all mediums, the score is decided like this : 100 : Absolute perfection. Must have sampled it at least twice, and be mindblown twice. 90 - 100 : absolutely amazing. I'd like a drink like this anytime, even if it ain't the cheapest. 80-90 : Very damn good. It'll depend a bit more on the price - but this is probably one to seek out. 70-80 : better than average . Will likely enjoy again if it's priced compeditive. 70 : Average score for anything with alcohol . // 50 : The absolute middlepoint ( pure H2O ) Anything with alcohol beneath 50 is simply not worth drinking (seriously, concider your liver) // 05 : The absolute, final downpoint . Songs shall be written about how this attack to the tastebuds has started a rage within, killing inocent bystanders for no apparent reason - other than the fact my life is ruined by drinking this. On the other hand, it's kinda interesting to try something THIS bad, so you should probably seek it out ! As you can see, I use the FULL scale , and a rating of 70 by myself isn't bad at all !

Gusher alert. Pours unclear browned amber. Big white head fades fast. S is very mild, hidden even, on cherry. Yeasty, but nicely fruity and balanced. Taste is full, nicely malty (very malty) cherries hidden. Very mild acidity, some bitterness. Full bodied. Quite nice but not what i expected.

Pours a darker amber, medium large white head. Very intense aroma of minerals and oak, funk and brett fill the room. Up close, much sharper and citrussy. Taste is full, fairly creamy. high in citric notes, very high in brett and a whiff of 'petrol'. less mineral and oak than the aroma (from distance) made me anticipate. The older lambic really does add a dimension to me, and it's quite different than the 'regular' OG / A&G for that matter. High carbonation (perhaps a tad too high to my taste) . very enjoyable. Not amongst the aboslute peak they made, but those are big shoes to fill.

Pours black, medium sized , stable, off white head. Scent is fairly mild, some coffee, bit roast' barrels remain silent. Taste is surprisingly mild, chocolate, some coffee. Roast. Very remote varrel aspects (vanilla) smooth and silky body. Nothing extreme, rven a bit dull given it's style and ABV if i'm being honest. Still, enjoyable.

Pours clear pale golde, high visible carbonation and a large white, stable head. Scent is full, mature boon with the typical fruityness. More oak-based than the regular OG. More lactic impressions. Wouldn't blindly guess in the direction of the grains being different, and would be searching more towards what gives this particular oakyness. Tastewise, the different grain bill does show way more. Still unmistakingly boon, fruityness is even very high in this one, off-dry , higher carbonation. More mineral than usual. Oats I wouldn't blindly be able to name, but they do make sense. Mostyl loving this for the fruityness and oak though. Due to the 'minerality' it feels a tad 'hollow' in terms of aftertaste, if we're splitting hairs. A higher carbonation and the oats make this a very foamy (and stable foam!) OG, Which I personally would prefer slightly less as well. Overall, a very good Boon, but not their very best.

Pours a hazed yellow. Medium sized white head. Scent is citrussy, mild hopburny aroma's . Taste is full, medium bitter, slight hopburn. Citrus, some stonefruit. Fairly smooth body. Slightly higher than average carbo for the style, which is still only medium in general. Easy drinkable but not the most interesting.

Pours a clear blonde, medium sized, yet stable white head. Scent is full, earthy grape character, but surely fruity as well, bit floral even. Mild lambic aroma underneath. Taste is Surprisingly tart, higher acidity than expected. Milder in fruits (still pretty fruitforward) than the aroma sugests. Floral has the uperhand, rather than the earthtyness that took the lead in the aroma. Quite balanced. Nothing exceptionally great to my taste, but as far as balance and character go, this is a really good one !

Pours a deep, dark redpurple, very solid, large, extremely stable pinkpurple head. Scent is rich on berry acidity and fruityness, but only medium intense overall. Taste is full, intense, super rich berry juice, mildly acidic touch, but mostly sweet - balanced though. very fullbodied. Extremely rich in fruityness, and of the type that I personally really like. These blueberry (extreme) gose's really, really work for me. Sure 'but is it still beer' and 'i've had this alcoholfree and just as good (mikkeller's limbo blueberry) - but the limbo isn't made anymore (boo!) and the fact of wheter or not this is 'beer' is irellevant to how good it is. I'd be happy to drink this very regularly, if only I was able to.
