Since I more or less stopped reviewing beers on a regular basis, I though it would be nice to do a monthly overview of the most interesting beers I drank during the previous couple of weeks. My last post was around the end of January, so here’s the second:

Struise Brouwers – Cuvée Delphine
Technically the same brew as the Black Albert, but this one was aged in Four Roses bourbon casks. Terrific stuff and the barrel ageing is really a good addition to the already great Black Albert.

Great Divide – 17th Anniversary Wood Aged Double IPA
A double IPA aged in stainless steel with wood chips in it. The result is a best of both worlds beer, with the influence of wood ageing and the carbonization of steel instead of a wooden barrel. Not too crisp, but very flavourful.

Southern Tier – Back Burner
Apparently this is an Imperial Barley Wine. This always makes me think it was brewed for Darth Vader, but anyway… Very flavourful and sweet, with quite some biscuity and fruity flavours.

Meantime – IPA
A massive bottle filled with crisp, zesty and biscuity IPA. Technically it might not be the most extraordinairy beer, but it sure is good! And not too expensive either.

Emelisse – Imperial Russian Stout (Peated)
My favourite Emelisse beer so far. The cask ageing works very well here and the peated barley is not too overpowering. Maybe the best peated beer I’ve had.

Port Brewing – Older Viscosity
Definetly the most expensive beer I’ve bought at € 17 per bottle. I just had to try this barley wine or whatever they call it. It took me all night to finish it, but it sure is damn tasty. I’d have given it six stars on Untappd if I could! Massive amounts of goodness in each sip. If you can afford it, try this!

Mikkeller – Beer Geek Breakfast
Another terrific stout. Quite some coffee influences and a nice gentle carbonization. This is also an evening filling beer if you just sit back and enjoy it.

All beers are five star beers, and since I didn’t go anywhere else to check the inventory, they’re all available at Drinks & Gifts.
