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.

Small, if very stable snowwhite head over clear copperish metallic golden beer. Rather neutral nose, white candi sugar, alcohol, boozy aroma. Sweet-ish, boozy, alcohol, white candi sugar, whitebread, caramel, slightly scorched sugar, rum, sultanas. "Hot" malty, boozy with alcoholheat, but feeling empty. Rum is a dangerous to age beer in - and certainly lighter coloured beer. Hercule would have been a much better candidate for these barrels. Txs to Stef!

Aged sample Small, if steady cream coloured head over cola coloured beer. Smoke and husks a mile out; closer by sweet, fortified wine, raisins and some oxydation. And... coriander? Oxydation, madeira, sweet. However, nos smoke in the flavour, let alone peat... Strange. In the very aftertaste, there's a certain woody bitterness. Well bodied, age has thinned it a bit. Accuses its age, no doubt. The peat is simply absent. Txs to Stef!

Toweringly huge, light amberish head over fully hazy dark brown beer. Dark candi sugar, herbal and garden weeds, melanoidins, soupy aroma. Malty, herbal and melanoidins. And then there's an acidity - not unwelcome but is it wanted? It is enhanced by the high carbonation, but still... Medium bodied at least, very slick, almost viscous, towards overcarbonated. I'm suspicious - how will it be at the BBd (+ 1.5 yr.)?

Head fast reduced to off-white rim over clear redcopper beer. Leafy nose, caramel, toffee, but not really sugary. Sweetish, with a remarkable, mild acidity, bit citrussy, bit as unripe pear. Again leafy. Light body, bit undercarbonated, quite slick. Not bad! Utterly new brewery to me, but 98 seems to refer to the date of start - from the Peppermill American House. Txs to Stef!

Head gone in seconds, leaving crystal clear metallic golden beer. Vinous, white grapes, bit mineral, cristallized vegetable molecules. Vinous, almost sparkling wine-like, vonkelwijn. Underlying fruitsugars, totally natural. Light if really slick-oily feel, soft carbonation. Very good IGA, rigorously following the Italian legislation.

Small whitish rim over clouded orangey beer. Spicy nose, citrus, exotic fruit, buttermilk. Dry, citrussy and fruitpeel flavours; dried fruitpulp, potpourri. At least medium bodied, quite hopoilslick, good carbonation. Quite decent IPA. Txs to Joren!
