7.6/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 7
30 January 2026. GBV Lucky Ass Tasting (@ Baracuna). Cheers to the whole crew! Bottle from Delhaize.

A: cloudy black, stable, foamy, beige head.
A: coffee powder, fondant, charred meat, tobacco.
T: sweetish fig, bitter fondant, coffee, umami olive.
F: dry, earthy hops, coffee, tobacco, warming whisky-like alcohol.
P: full body, creamy texture, soft carbonation.
A bit too roasty and hefty to really let the raisins shine, from memory the original Black Pudding is better.

Hazy dark red, small, foamy, pink head. Aroma of cherry pit, almond, vanilla, wood, barnyard, horse steak, blue cheese. Taste has very sour cherry, nectarine, funky barnyard & blue cheese in an almondy malt body, lactic acid flowing throughout. Tart cherry skin in the finish, providing drying woody tannins. Medium body, moussy texture, average carbonation. Intense, complex and elegant.

8.1/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 8.5 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
30 January 2026. GBV Lucky Ass Tasting (@ Baracuna). Cheers to the whole crew!

Clear golden, thin, off-white head. Aroma of damp cellar, musty wood, vinegar, overripe apricot, orange rind, straw. Taste has very sour orange, apricot & grape in a sourdough-malty body with funky vinegar & leather notes. Tart grape skin in the finish, vinegar and very dry woody tannins. Medium body, moussy texture, average carbonation. More complex than the 'Majesty's Secret Service' counterpart, a tad more challenging too, but very good.
