I Love Beer is drinking a Budweiser Budvar B:DARK / Czechvar B:DARK by Budějovický Budvar at Sunningdale
Can
Cocoa, smoke, coffee, caramel. Some roasted grain & earthiness. Taste mostly follows. Crisp medium MF, moderate carbonation, light bitters w/ semi-dry finish. Solid, easy-drinking lager that I would happily drink again. Merry Christmas, everyone! 🍻

I Love Beer is drinking an Original by Unika Beer at Mimico
Bottle
Toasted bread & cereal grains w/ herbal hop profile + hint of wheat. Malty taste largely follows. Light to medium MF, mildly sweet middle, balanced off-dry finish. My first beer from Spain; this is decent but unremarkable.

I Love Beer is drinking a La Trappe Tripel (2022) by Bierbrouwerij De Koningshoeven at Mimico
Bottle
Standard tripel aromas & flavours, but with less fruity-phenolic complexity + more of a boozy edge than leading takes on the style. Still glad to revisit this, as it’s been years since I last sampled.

I Love Beer is drinking a Gouden Carolus Christmas / Noël by Brouwerij Het Anker at Mimico
Bottle
Licorice root, star anise, fig. Some black plum, raisin & toasted pumpernickel. Hint of ethanol. Taste mostly follows. Full bodied MF, very sweet middle, prickly carbonation w/ long warm finish. A welcomed seasonal twist on the BSDA style.

I Love Beer is drinking a Tripel by Brouwerij St.Bernardus at Mimico
Bottle
Dried apricot, fruity effervescent yeast, hint of clove. Some spice box, banana smoothie + fuzzy peach. Taste largely follows. Full velvety MF, sweet middle, long drying finish w/ warmth going down. Not a world beater, but still very good.

I Love Beer: Michael B. Yeah man! I just wanted something crushable for X-Mas Eve. I didn’t know it would be a 5-badge check in. 😅
