No worries, I was hoping someone had reviewed BA cellarman (SARA) and got excited when I saw your post.

Agreed, very intrigued by that one

Eating dinner. Certainly smells of bananas.

Hold on, we have to ask our waitres's option on the rhymes with anana flavor

Hey, she said banana. I didn't force it out of her and I haven't slept with her for years, so any bias is gone.

It kills all of you that I may be right.

Reuben at Aristocrat? Or poutine? Where did you fuckers end up?

It was so short she wouldn't remember. And we ended up at aristocras for rubins

I've been waiting for someone to post this. Care to share your thoughts?

Cantillon J.F.Vonck (1990): Significant oxidation and suggestion of cork taint in the nose; taste, however, was bright and surprisingly vibrant given both the age and the hints front the nose.
Drie Fonteinen Oude Geuze Vintage (2002): One of my top three gueuzes enjoyed at the tasting; still peaking.
De Cam Oude Geuze (2001): Very good; nice earthy minerality.
Cantillon Saint Lamvinus (Port Barrel) (2003): Probably my favorite of the fruit lambics consumed; vintage St. Lam speaks to the wine lover in me; some people noted Don Q-like grape notes.
Drie Fonteinen Oude Geuze 50th Anniversary (1998): On the decline from its peak as the flavors are starting to get a little rounded and blurred; that said, it is still a quality geuze.
Drie Fonteinen Oude Geuze (1999): Still doing well, especially if you don't mind a little oxidation in the nose; nice and musty.
Drie Fonteinen Millennium Geuze (2000): One of my top three gueuzes enjoyed at the tasting; great complexity and nuance still.
Drie Fonteinen Oude Geuze (2001): Easily the worst of the queuze at the tasting; oxidization is taking over and it is losing focus.
Cantillon Kriek (1980s): Who says fruit fades with time?; really enjoyable sour cherry presence after all these years.
H.Ertie Saint Andbeed Vlelem (2012): While this isn't one of my favorite Uli blends, this is a solid gueuze showing off the man's talents.
Cantillon Brabantiae (1991): Good old gueuze flavor profile; musty, earthy, a touch of citrus, light oxidation.
Cantillon Fou Foune (2002): Easily the most acidic beer sampled; some couldn't finish their pours, but the intense apricot acidity worked for me.
Cantillon Gueuze (1996): One of my top three gueuzes enjoyed at the tasting; this year has always been a great offering from Cantillon; excellent depth of flavor; funky while still carrying a clean citric undercurrent.
Cantillon Iris (2nd Batch) (1998): Mellowest/subtlest flavor profile of any of the beers sampled, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.
Cantillon Framboise w/ Vanilla (1986): Crazy how the raspberries have not gone quiet; vanilla is not perceptible; very nice.

My top five, in no particular order, were: 1986 Framboise; 2003 St. Lam; 1996 Cantillon; Millennium; 2002 OGV.

Cellarmaker is the real deal. I probably had 5-6 pale ale/IPA/IIPAs from them during my two visits, and each one was both unique to the others, and very tasty. The other beers I had (a couple brett saisons and a couple stouts) were also pretty good. I only had a small pour of Daybreak, but I definitely picked up on some citrus in the flavor.

Thank you. I'll have to ask a buddy to snag some Cellarmaker growlers for me.

Spending about a month in Miami. chard_logic and Ruy welcomed me to the city with a little tasting last night:

Highlights for me were MBCP, AB MC, Flora Satsuma and the Upland Blackberry Lambic.

Great beers, and a fun night. Looking forward to doing it again!

Not even sure I can post this in here, considering we didn't even Cantillonbro.

Apologies for Instagram filtering the **** out of these pictures but it was really dark in the room we were drinking in and flash photography at a share even amongst friends is a major party foul.

From last night. I'm always very impressed with Lakefront's My Turn Series. John was no exception, just a great beer.
