Malt Does More is drinking a High West Barrel Aged Victory at Sea (2018) by Ballast Point Brewing Company at Kent Vale Block D
Immense unexpected head, but impressive nose: big vanilla, some roasted coffee in the background, and big barrel. Taste follows. It’s quite boozy, and the rye whisky eclipses everything, even the bourbon, in the linger.

Malt Does More is drinking a Mandarina Mandarin by Vault City Brewing at Kent Vale Block D
Last of the drink-now bottles from the Edinburgh haul. Massive lasting meringue head, nose of funk and distinct mandarin orange. Taste follows, with a mouthwatering ending and tasty but not aggressive tartness, and stone fruit. Fantastic.

Malt Does More is drinking a Scarenbecca Kriek (2017) by Hanssens Artisanaal at Kent Vale Block D
Surprisingly minimal head for the style. Almost no nose to speak of. Front palate is weak cherry juice, but the mid-palate tartness is fierce and a bit harsh. Finish is mouthwatering, dry. Cherry taste is more fresh than marinated.

Malt Does More is drinking an Inbetween by Oersoep at Kent Vale Block D
Sours and soccer! This is living up to the Untappd reviews: more like a session sour, lacking heft.

Malt Does More is drinking a Death From Above by Garage Project at Kent Vale Block D
Was smashed last time I had this, and it’s worth drinking sober: fantastic. The additives give me the slightest impression it was chasing a coconut-milk-based curry, but just the slightest, as it’s an IPA through and through. What a core beer to have.

Malt Does More is drinking a Marshmallow Milk Stout by Barney's Beer at Kent Vale Block D
Gorgeous pour: jet-black w/ tan head. Body feels creamy yet not thick. Nose is roasted malts, slight burnt toast, and burnt marshmallow. Taste follows. I’m not finding this overly sweet, as others did. Cheers to the dude who rec’d this at the shop: delish

Malt Does More: One of the small containers I hauled from Scotland, from an Edinburgh brewery site around since 1705!
Malt Does More is drinking a Ryes Against by Rocky Ridge Brewing Co. at Kent Vale Block D
The rye in this is quite sharp, but the hops are pretty bitter, and the two work together. Ending is a bit too sharp for me, though, almost tangy, and a bit rough down the hatch for a sub-7% IPA.

Malt Does More is drinking a Yeaster Bunny by To Øl at Kent Vale Block D
Hops are quite faded, but the tart funk in this is wonderful. Notes of sour apple, slight citrus. Some bitterness in the ending. This is not far off a 3-year-old Orval. I’m digging it.

Malt Does More is drinking a Brain Smiles by Behemoth Brewing Company at Kent Vale Block D
Juicy hops in the air on opening. Big head from a medium pour, and it got really light and loose very quickly. This is a light beer with big flavor, mostly tropical and citric.

Malt Does More is drinking an Oculus Sauvage With Black Currant by Green Flash Brewing Company at Kent Vale Block D
Nice soft pop on opening: perfect, still life but not explosive. Funk, tartness, strong berry tarts. Carb is perfect, nice rich mouthwatering finish. Even better than I recall from last time.

Malt Does More is drinking a Sucré (Portuguese Brandy) by The Bruery at Kent Vale Block D
Bottled 4/2014. Much better than the rum BA last time: not as sweet. Slightly vinous and malty. Malt is very molasses, and slight licorice in the finish. More wood in this than in the rum BA one. Lots going on...

Very surprising. Nice spice without too much. A bit of a wassail vibe to it. Very refreshing.
