mcberko Profile

16 oz. can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is bright and tangy, with lots of gooseberry hop tang, bright pine, and some dankness. Flavour is bright and tangy, with tangy white wine-like hoppiness, moderate dankness, pine, and soft biscuity malt. The NZ-hops–especially Nelson–dominate, while the dank, piney, WC hoppiness is more in the background. Beauty.

500mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has plenty of bourbon barrels, lots of coconut, a touch of cocoa, and vanilla. Flavour is rich and complex, with big bourbon barrels, coconut, vanilla, and a touch of cocoa. Good mix of adjuncts, with the coconut upfront and the barrels accentuating everything beautifully. Excellent.

Muskaat (2020) from Bofkont

11 months ago

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

750mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Nose is quite pungent, with a thorny white grape skin character, moderate funk, and a touch of champagne-like effervescence. Flavour is wonderfully funky, with intensely pungent white grape that has a unique, remarkable complexity, moderate funk, some champagne-like effervescence, and light acidity. That grape character steals the show. Almost indescribable in the muscat depth and complexity. What a beautiful grape lambic.

Bestowed - Birthday (5th Anniversary) from Third Moon Brewing Co.

11 months ago

6.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6.5 Texture 6 Overall 6

473mL can, pours black with a small light brown head. Aroma has rich roasted malt, sprinkles, some lactose, vanilla, and cocoa. Flavour has plenty of sprinkles, moderate roasted malt, and a touch of cocoa. Nice roast base, but there’s not much complexity and the sprinkles and other adjuncts create a semi-artificial and gimmicky flavour profile. It’s alright but nothing special.
