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 !

Smells intensely spicy, twigs, herbal, bit too aromatic on the herbal side for me. taste is sharp, tart, very herbal. near medicinal to me. Not a fan .

Pours a black, with medium small, tanned, fairly stable head. Scent is very roasty, age starts to show, midlly. Taste is still pretty bright and full, rye comes forth real good, maple follows (never really high, but most certainly recongizable) . bacon isn't noticable (neither was it fresh, to me) . A great roasty, chocolaty, coffee backbone lifts this up to more than just good additives. Never really thick, the way modern pasties sometimes are, but certainly fullbodied. Lower carbo. a good amount of alcohol warmth in the finish. Lovely, lovely beer. Sadly this was my last bottle, which I kept around for when I felt like rating it. It's not off yet, but scent certainly took a hit - if you have any left, now will be the time....

Pours a dark brown, copper, chestnut colour. Creamy, brown-white-creamcolored head. Scent is very sharp and glue, paint - like (not the direction of acetaldehyde, at all) . Hmm.. Taste is sharp, intensely acidic and bonedry, woody, mild velpon, earhty, herbal notes. Sharp, dry, slightly woody finish. Very weird, very clashing to me. Starts of with a very loud intensity, ends very abrubt, dry and lingering only very fine elements.
Without speaking about the actual quality here, this is probably my least favorite (or one of my least favorite) Antidoot's to date.

Pours a hazed amberblonde. Small, relatively fast fading white head. Scent is very full, grainy, oaky, wheat, brett. more lambic like than other Antidoot's. Taste is full, acidic, acetic, very oaky, brett forward. ofcourse grainy - but in that terms it's very lambic-y, not the very different blend I would have expected after reading the label. Very refined again, bit buttery, which makes it distinctively different to actual lambic, but it's got the same funky, slightly sulphuric, balanced acidity and oakyness. Not very representative for the brewery to me, this is a real stand alone beer, somewhere between a very malty, mildly acidic actual lambic, and a base-beer by antidoot. Very cool. Lovely drinking beer.

Pours a clear blonde, big white head , collapses fairly fast though. Scent is typical NA, beneath some juicy, fruity hops. taste is similarly, very recognizable, sweet NA base with mild bitterness and candy-necklace fruityness fromt he hops. Perhaps a bigger bitterness than generically, but nothing I'd specifically seek out again or rave about. Agreeable, but not much beyond that. Cloyingly sweet finish.

Pours a hazed, yellow color. Medium large, stable white head. scent has stonefruit, mostly, but also some grassy and cirtrussy notes. pleasant and inviting, hop forward, but balanced. Taste is full, stonefruit, mild bitterness, fairly creamy. maltyness is bready, not super present but providing a nice backbone. Quite easy drinkability, but not a slammin'-one-back beer , this thing has taste and mouthfeel. Lingering finish, where all of the above blend together nicely, and maintain their levels of presence compared to one another. Quite nice ! especially for the ABV, I've gotten far less taste-forward from 7%ers .

Pours orange, medium foam dissapears fast and completelt. Scent is brett, mild oak, some fine cirussy notes (the white between the actual fruit and the peel, specifically) bit petrol like (from the Pinot gris, I'm sure) . taste is sharp, dry, acidic, fairly bitter, some tannins even, very mild, hidden even citrus, way less present than the aroma. Grapes are fairly silent as well, but do provide an earthy, spicy backbone, bit floral. Weirldy enough, the most silent in the nose (muscat and gewurtz) are the most outspoken in the mouth, and vise versa. high but very fine carbonation. Typical Antidoot beer,a dn if you know Antidoot, you know what that means !

Pours hazed amberblonde. Medium sized white head. Stable. Scent is full, pine, crystal malts. Taste is full , quite bitter, medium pine. Crystal malts, feels fairly old in its maltyness, not as crisp as i would hope for it to be. Best by date a few days ahead so makes sense, in retrospect. Given the actual age, its still quite enjoyable, actually.
