Simon B.: sweet & vanilla instead of toasty doesn’t give the wine quite enough to play with. Interesting take. Just not as taken with lactose as some.

The barrels are up front in the aroma, the Burgundy lingering longer there & on the tongue. Nice stout heft to the body, but aiming for
Simon B. is drinking an Indigo by The Wild Beer Co at The Beer Cupboard North
A bit of a let down. Too watery. The blackberries are tempered by the seaweed, dry rather than meaty. Too little elderberry. Not that wild.

Simon B. is drinking a Santo del Frio by Siren Craft Brew at The Beer Cupboard North
Clean. Cold. Very crisp. Touches of agave and corn forcing their way out from the permafrost. The juiciness of the hops whispered at the end
Simon B. is drinking a Mojito by Hawkshead Brewery at The Beer Cupboard North
Starts with rum & mint & lime. Juice gives way to zest, zest fades to pith, pith to resinous hops. Quite nicely done if not quite nice.

Simon B. is drinking a Rex Apiary by Beavertown at The Beer Cupboard North
Lemony honey sour. White wine barrels complement nicely, but at this time of year, a bit of whiskey…
