Fresh crack, may need some O2 to really open up

Nose/Floral - bright fruit and oak, golden delicious apple
Sweet - maple, cocoa, honey, butterscotch, caramel
Nutty - almond
Spicy - some cinnamon
Earthy - tobacco, herbal and anise. Fairly savory
Smoky - no
Woody - bright astringent oak
Fruit - more on the nose. But bright apple
Color - dark copper
Palate - astringency up front, big presence, lot of heat
Finish - lingers without being overbearing
Value - solid QPR, priced appropriately
Overall - who doesn’t love cask strength BT. After opening up it becomes less overtly tannic and more of a caramel sweet bomb

Anyone who knows me knows that I have VERY strong feelings about the Red Sox, Fenway Park, and the city of Boston in general. Despite all that, I had some solid expectations for this brew—but it didn't quite hit those notes. The nose provided all the flavors of a Boston creme donut, but the sip immediately hit with notes of cinnamon, which doesn't quite match up. Nice cacao and vanilla, sure, but the overall effect was a mild wheatwine that just didn't have enough oomph. Good, but I wanted more.

Joined some friends to watch the end of the Masters, and decided it was a good time to share this brew. The nose certainly lets you know that there's a solid amount of rye in the malt, but don't get it twisted: this is a juicy, POG-forward beer from top to bottom. I got a huge amount of orange, with a touch more pineapple present when it's a bit cooler. And the lingering vanilla on the finish helps smooth out the whole thing. One of the better Terreux offerings in quite some time!

I was rather looking forward to trying this once I heard about the combination of hibiscus and cherry, and I can't say that it didn't deliver to my expectations. The first sip is, unsurprisingly, very tart, with a nice floral note to follow. The cherry gets a little bit buried in the mix, and the salt also has a pretty surprisingly strong presence, but I would imagine that, with a little time for some of the acidity to mellow out, this will round out pretty nicely.

I had only drank Dream Bar once, as a taster at The Bruery around its release, but even without a great memory of its forebear, I knew instantly that Dreamception was a wildly different beast. About the sweetest Bruery beer I've had in a very long time, this thing is thick and rich, a complete coconut bomb that is in no way ashamed of what it is. The finish is smooth with vanilla and marshmallow, and there's even a dash of macadamia detectable after the swallow, but this is straight-up dessert in a bottle.

Tried two full bottles. Both not good. Lack freshness and have a bitter finish. Not only my opinion but those of several other fellow aficionados of this wine. Sadly very disappointing, particularly on the freshness front.

This was very tasty and good moderate character. Don't have detailed notes.
"The nose on this famous sake in Japan is a cool collection of melon, berries, green apple, cut grasses, spring onion, pear, and bright fruit aromas. A light, crisp, and bright jump into a new style of sake that plays with an elevated acidity field that jumps out of the glass. Pitched to wine drinkers, this sake is very expressive with lots of shibumi and acidity elements that drink lively, crisp, and spritzy. Look for layers of flavors such as Asian pear, peach, young melon, persimmon, green apple, and basically young fruit tones that pop on a tantalizing acidity play that says, "Hola!" This is a legendary sake for good and zesty reasons. It’s hard to get in Japan, so don’t miss a brew that takes umami to new and vivid expressions. WORD: Famous WINE: Zesty Reds/Crisp Whites BEER: Crisp Ales FOODS: A yakitori monster."

Canned 1/2024; best before 01 November 2024; 5,5% alcohol. Medium to full bodied, dry and rather robust, showing subtle bread/malt with firm hoppy bitterness and slightly austere finish. A solid red IPA. Nice to quaff after the sauna.

First time putting wine on tap immediately after kegging with no bulk aging. Wine was filtered. Maybe a hint of bottle shock, though line was left with water for about 2 months while making new batch, actually ran out before had new kit.

Tasted at winery on tour with Tim Syrad Wine Tours.

The 2024 vintage has only been in stainless steel tanks for two weeks and this tasting sample was poured by winemaker Denise from the tank.

At this stage I thought it would be horrible, but it was surprisingly pleasant, though nothing like a finished product would be.

Medium plum and cloudy.. But bright and fresh in the glass. Tasting more like a fruit drink at this stage. Interesting experience.

Bottled the 2023 Domaine Damron Oma's Peach Wine, Anniversary Cuvee Lot 15 this week.

This Lot I used 15pounds of sugar in an experiment with the other Lot being 10. This additional sugar clearly made more alcohol and the wine packs a major punch. 17% maybe? But the wine has a great nose and more peachy on the palatte on bottling.

This Lot I used 10 pounds of sugar in an experiment with the other Lot being 15. This wine is much dryer and less sweet/rich on the palate on bottling. It drinks more like a dry white wine.

The 2023 Daisy's Strawberry Wine is my best effort yet for this wine. Sweetening the wine to taste at the end of the project really helped and the flavors of this one are more nuanced. Great, fresh nose on the wine and a bit heavy on the palate for my second bottle. Alcohol on this one is high. Oxidation got to the wine early on and all the bottles are orange lol. But tastes great.

Surprisingly smooth and soft. Low acidity with a medium body. Strawberry on the nose, stone fruit taste especially strawberries. Hint of tartness but not overwhelming. Nice, clean and short finish. There's definitely some bubbles in this rose. A summer wine indeed! Highly recommend trying this.
