Unique

The next beer might even be better. B.C."H." = British Cask "Head" - to be perceived as some disparate lonely looking bubbles, uncertain of their CO² content, and because of their scarcity, of undefinable colour. UFO's: Unspeakable Floating Obscenities MF: NO, that isn't it. That's mouthfeel, in civilized countries. I hereby solemny propose a law to be instated by all beergeeks, -amateurs, -lovers, -tasters, - enthusiasts that forthwith the use of the infernal spice, known as coriander, is forbidden for at least the five first years of brewing, and later only to be tolerated by explicit consent of minimum five different accredited beerorganisations. Infringements ought to be sanctioned by denouncement to the international beerpress and public drainpour of the offending brew.

Abundant Growth from Finback Brewery (New York City, United States 🇺🇸)

1 year ago

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

9.2% year 20.. -1 point for the clear glass abomination. Shortlived off-white head over opaque orange-ochre beer, very lively carbonated. Sour, citrus, citruspeel, rhubarb, sucade; foxy. In the taste the grapemost is very obvious. Again citrupeel, preserved orange. There's something sticky, as preserved too long, in the flavour. Medium bodied due to some acidthinning. It's OK, but it misses delicacy, refinement.

Legend Of The Bone Carver from BramBrass (Heestert, Belgium 🇧🇪)

7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

No head, virtually black beer. Bourbon, vanilla, young oak, black chocolate, felt, black cardamome. Black chocolate returning, whisky, oak. Some vanilla. Brownies, black cookies, roasted. Finish has soft bitterness from both roast and even some hops. Full bodied, furious alcoholheat. Creamy, warming, voluptuous. Very good Bourbon barrel aged Imperial stout, vying with the best exotic ones. Txs to Stef!

Blackfly 2024 from Orca Brau (Nuremberg, Germany 🇩🇪)

1 year ago

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

As good as no head. Dark brown to black beer. Sweet chocolate, vanilla. Faintly peppery, if smelling sweet. Taste is definitely drier, even not really sweet. Again peppery. Short hint at stoutacidity. Again chocolate, more towards black chocolate. Quite well-bodied, mild carbonation, alcoholheat. Not too sweet, but not really remarkable. Quite OK. (Found @ Getränkefeinkost Leipzig)

La Boule de Noël from Brasserie Philippe (Houffalize, Belgium 🇧🇪)

1 year ago

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

Small, receding yellow head over veiled reddish brown beer. Typical Walloon, bit spicy/herbal, dark malts' intoned stronger beer. In the background obvious spices with combined aromas. Bitterish-malty. Here the spices are even more obvious, lending extra dryness. Orangepeel, and apparently, apricotmash, coriander (not disturbing). Good carbonation, medium bodied at least, slick-oily. I despair about a majority of Walloon breweries, even new ones - they seem stuck in an ultra-classical frame (blond, dark, tripel, wit, X-mas...). There's almost never surprise possible. Txs to Stef!

Tripel from De Twee Leeuwen (Raamsdonksveer, Netherlands 🇳🇱)

1 year ago

6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 5.5 Texture 5 Overall 6

Clear metallic amber beer, finely carbonated under a good, slightly off-white head. Bit herb, quite spicy nose, malty and a tad dusty. Almonds, again rather spicy; dried, dusty herbs. Way too sweet for a Belgian tripel. And neither enough attenuation. Good carbonation; faint alcohol (+sweetness). Ho-hum "tripel" - or Triple as the mentioning on top of the label. Well, the Dutch just love to use French within Belgian context, even when they know sh**. Txs to Stef!

India Pale Ale from BrauSchneider (Schiltern, Austria 🇦🇹)

1 year ago

7.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7.5 Texture 6 Overall 7

Stable, medium to good white head, bit fluffy, over lightly veiled, very carbonated golden beer. Aromatic, fruity aroma, but also a lot of cardboard. Passion fruit, white grape, etc. Again cardboard in the taste, quite bitter, if only momentary. Resiny, and also resiny feel in the MF, oily, old leaves. Slick, good carbonation, medium bodied. Rather average IPA, if not much wrong - the cardboard flavour excepted. Old hops?
