It was a dark & funky Saturday evening. 🍻 #stouturday

Emporium's BRETTIBIX takes their classic stout - Obsidian - to the next level. It's now turned into a funky, fruity and vinous brew... Like a nice funky red wine.

"Brett fermented stout is Obsidian aged in pinot noir barrels with a Brett culture from Belgium."

Grom Braveheart BA RIS 🍻 by Bliksem 🇳🇱

Even better and more balanced than a few years ago: smokey, tar, leather, earthy and some sweetness wrapped around it.

Music pairing: Mouth for War - Panterra 🤘

"Our GROM made a trip to mediaeval Scotland. We have aged our Russian Imperial Stout in freshly emptied Laphroaig barrels. A slightly peated monster of a stout. Just as William Wallace would have liked it."

It's that time of the year 😋 Time for fresh hop beers.

Sprig & Fern's Monohoppily Fresh Hop Hazy singles out just one variety – fresh #Riwaka, hand-selected from Holmdale Farm in Wakefield and Mac Hops in Motueka.

😋 Lots of citrus, hoppy, bread/doughy and some bitterness + sweetness. Almost like marmalade on toast.

A tasty surprise from 1UP: lots of dark/bitter chocolate, earthy coffee and a subtle sweetness. Def looks different than it tastes. 😁😋

It's easy to find the perfect music to pair with this #stout 😁

Lots of coffee. Short black style. Nice earthy flavours. Not a thick stout but super tasty.

Going to the bathroom @ Craftwork Brewery (Oamaru, New Zealand) is always exciting 😁 as the walk through the barrel room gives you a sneak peek of the amazing brews that are waiting to be bottled. 🤗🍻

From tripel to BA tripel is a tasty journey. Sacre Bleu is a #Craftwork masterpiece.

Luckily I was able to restock this one when visiting the brewery last week.

Tasting notes: https://untp.beer/9dad39d6e9

"Our classic Tripel, Good Lord, further barrel aged for 6 months, with another classic Wallonian Abbey yeast added for complexity.... It further transformed, a shade darker and stronger, less carbonated and more winey."

A gifted brew.... Not something I would buy myself as sours need to be sour.... But A+ for the effort, the gesture is much appreciated, @eswoooo 🤗

Fruity & sweetness with a subtle level of sourness, but not as sweet as I was expecting.

"Garage Project and Duck Island bring you Ambrosia Ice Cream Sour. Creamy lactose, oats, wheat, sour cherries, raspberries, marshmallows and chocolate nibs all go into making a sweet tart ice cream sour....."
