Unique

Certified Cicerone ® & BJCP Recognized Beerjudge Bartender @ Beerlovers Bar & Owner @ Siris About Beer. 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 !

FestivANNE from Brouwerij 't Drankorgel

1 year ago

6.3/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5

Festivanne
Pours hazed blonde. Medium small white head. Scent is yeasty, sweet impression. Medium maltyness, silent on the hops.
Taste is quite yeasty, banana, estery to a point that its chewy. High carbonation. Bit metallic like finish. Less sweet than expected, but not very balanced or on point. Far to estery and nothing much beyond that .

Helldriller 10/10 from Cohones Brewery

1 year ago

6.4/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 3.5

Pours unclear blonde. Soapy, instantly fading white head. Scent is surprisingly hoppy (truth be told, I waited to long for a session IPA to drink this, hence the surprise) No real pepper givewaway - and for sure not in this extremety. Floral, yellow fruits. Taste is ... quite damn spiced indeed. Don't be fooled, they aren't talking big here, they're quite serious. Overwhelming any and all other aspects, the pepper take the lead, as well as the backseat. A very nice heath, I may add, I really like the peppers they used here. But even than so, it's not really possible to take another sip - this is to intense to be drinkable. Lovely experiment, and if going for extremes, absolutely nailed it. WIthout it being bad, which is a very nice feature. However, this is a can to share with many, many people. Or, as I am currently doing, to pour in pasta souce / soup instead of peppers. The beer won't be lost ;) Happy to have tried it, but even with sufficient amounts of creamy cheese, the spicyness lingered for about 15-30 minutes. I would definately buy again, to serve in glasses to unexpecting people. You have been warned !

Also , don't take this score to seriously, it's hard to score. I genuinly think this beer deserves at least 7.5 on aroma (very well for a session IPA) and taste (lovely peppers used), so I tuned down the overall to come closer to the 6/10 I had in mind. But even with a 3.5 on Overall, it scores a 6.4... Anyway, overall, this beer would score far higher (succeeded in the extremeness of the experiment) . It's just that I can't rate this beer too high, since it was phisically impossible to take multiple sips. Just go ahead and try this (if still around) and ignore this score !

Dark Cuvée René Gueuze Cognac Barrel Aged from Brouwerij Lindemans

1 year ago

8.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 9 Overall 8.5

Pours chocolate brwon, unclear, small white head. Scent is typical Lindemans, fine apple acidity and funk. Taste is full, very aromatic. Dry, tart, lemon, apple. Tad sweet (unsweetened!) , fruity touch from (I assume) the Cognac. Very, very elegant. Very refined, even more so - this could be concidered a pinnacle of refinement. Cognac works super smooth, the roastyness gives more color than aroma, but handles that touch it does give, exceptionally well. Far better than feared. Obviously this is no punch-in-the-face greatness to the likes of some more sounding names in the lambic game, but as a refined, subtile yet very well made lambic, this is exceptionnal.

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

Pours chocolaty brown, creamy, rather small head. Scent is mildly roasted, fresh, caramelly. Taste is crisp, toasty, toffee undertone. Dark bread in a sharp, dry way. Decent, but not great.
