What's the bottom left in the basket? Saw your take on highlights, any disappointments?

Brabantiae bottom left

99% that is Cantillon Brabantiae.

Brabantiae it is. That's Vin Jaune on the top in yellow if anyone couldn't see that one. No major disappointments. Aigre was a bit tough to drink. Like the malted vinegar used on fish and chips infused with cherry juice. Brabantiae was pretty acetic with very little port.

Highlights? Disappointments?

Highlights? Disappointments?

Flora Cuvee and Tete were the two that really stuck out to me as the best, with Strawberry La Tache being right behind. Strawberry LT was a huge surprise. Very subtle strawberry, but one of the best AA beers that I've had. Leaners just tasted like 750s of La Fosse. I didn't have huge expectations for The Scribe, but that beer blew my mind. Maybe one of the most unique beers that I've ever had.

I thought that I was going to enjoy Noir du Fermier more than I did, and I was pretty let down by Pallet 5. I think I'm just not much of a fan of cognac barrels though.

Not a bad Saturday if I do say so myself.

 

[shuggy1]

Hosted a blind hops tasting with nhindian jeevo Grodd87

Winners: Lights On, Roller Blabe, South of Eleven, Pliny

Losers: Julius, PsuedoSue, Xhops Gold

Biggest surprise to nobody: 14 is too damn many to do in one sitting.

 

[tnsa2k11]

Highlights: 2011 Brandy DL, OG Rare, Pulling Nails B1, Imp Berry Bu, CC, ABV Zhukov

Not impressed: Pugachevs Marasca, Cellarman, Assassin (good but didnt live up to the hype), 15 Rare, STS

Any concensus highlight?

For me Vin Jaune, DQ, OGV 03, Loerik, Kasteel, Millennium Geuze, and JCN were highlights.

Brabantiae wasn't that great of a bottle as halo4one mentioned and agree with his comments on agire. The 02 OGV wasn't that great of a bottle either. Almost like a wine spritzer compared to 03 and 08ogv.
