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 pink-purple head over deep red-purple beer. End of bottle solid deposit. Fruity, fruitsugars and fruitacids in the nose; vinous, red cherries indeed!. Vinous, and again not unlike red fruit as cherries, with hints of raspberry and pomegranate, if red grapes are most prominent. Barrels for light red wine. Once arriving at the finish/deposit, the flavours become earthy. Ultra dry, some acidthinning, smoelentrekker, acidburn. Very nice vinous fruitlambic.

Draught Very dense, ultra-stable russet head over jet black beer, leaving shards of lace. Bourbon, raisins, Madeira, vanilla, black chocolate and roast aromas. Bourbon, black chocolate, restrained fortified wine, raisins. Mild, sweet roast. Fantastic MF, chewy, oozy as a rich sauce, thick; medium carbonation. Rich, and very well-balanced, which is not often the case in this kind of beer. Like it!

Draught Small, if persistent dense white head over hazy yellow-orange beer. Old wood, lambic drenched; lemon, lactic, restrained horseblankte, marigolds or lilies. Very dry woody flavour, straw, again restrained horseblanket. Lemon(peel), yuzu. Lipsmacking acidity, dry, acidthinning and (mild) -burn. Quite wheatslick. Very good gueuze indeed. But I'm totally at a loss what might represent the international contributions.

Rather good, bit pinkish head over copperish red beer. Vinous nose, red-pink fruti, very ripe purple gooseberry, red winegrapes, and wild yeasts. Again red/pink grapes, other fruit. Lactic & fruitacids, but all quite mild. Very comples, no doubt thanks to the semi-wild yeasts. Sour peaches. Light acidburnt and -thinning; medium bodied, good carbonation. Excellent & surprising!

Small cream-coloured head over deep dark ruby beer. Rich, fruity, estery and boozy nose; wood lagered spirits, with a sweet, rich velvety aroma, even a bit musky. Ripe banana. Vinous flavour, rich, again fusely with both fruity and spicy esters. Faint cheesy notes, hot fermenting fruit. Finish has liquorice. Full bodied, chewy, oily, alcoholheat; fiery MF. Rich, as said. Most beery and classic of the three 2025 Escorts. Txs to Stef!

Good dense cream-coloured head over virtually black beer, leaving white lace. Roast, roasted nutshells, breadcrust, faint tobacco. Roast, coffee, black chocolate, tobacco. Very dry finish, displaying ashes, and bitter dark green leaves. Chewy, rather well-bodied. Good carbonation. Rahter good, dry, not overly pimped porter. Txs to Joren!
