  Cascade Black Cap Raspberry
  rated 4.6 3 months ago

  Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 10 | Overall: 10

  2016 bottle from Knightly on steep discount; 7.6%. Stemless at the hotel. Hazy, deep, dark garnet color with a splash of lace. Deeper, beautiful matte raspberry syrup on the second pour. Not a ton of head. Black raspberry nose, Pinot noir, a touch of vinegar, a hair of veg. Juicy, sweet-tart, super vinous, raspberry -lime flavor. Hint of itchy malt & oak. Very slight cider vinegar on the tail. Not full blown sour like some of their other offerings, or at least it died some over time. Slight texture, strong acid, medium high tart, good bite, some natural sulfites. Lovely with age.

  Brooklyn Black Ops
  rated 3.9 4 months ago

  Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

  Notes from 9/26/14 BK Black Ops '08 vintage 10.7% abv. Adorable Duck Rabbit snifter. Cork spares my eyes, but still had some kick. Slick, espresso head. Matte black body. Head lingers & coats the glass on every spin. Smells of sharp, charred malt & burnt toast. A bit vinous. Rich bourbon glaze. Cigar smoke, dark chocolate, black coffee, burnt sugar. Tasty. Oxidation is starting to show though. Wood ash, burnt bbq, some slight edges of dark fruit peaking through. Pretty dense, creamy body, just barely cut by some beady carbonation. Still pretty boozy after all these years. Waxy. Thanks for the gift Al.

  Eve's Cidery Autumn's Gold (2021)
  rated 3.8 10 months ago

  Cellar bottle direct from Eve's. Extra crispy, off-dry edging sweet, honey, apple core, enough acid, medium tart, minerally, pedestrian tannic finish. Still a great price for what you get.

  Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

  Aged keg @ RLRL w/GoT. I feel like I was never told how old it was. Pretty stemware. Dark iced tea, still pour. Caramel, some oxidation, leather, dried dark fruit. Tart, cherry skin, lime, bruin classy, red grape skin, big oxidation. Past it's prime. Just okay.

  Oude Gueuze Tilquin à l’Ancienne
  rated 3.5 1 year ago

  Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

  2012 bottle vintage, 6.4%, stemless pour @RLRL. Still, dark ruby, no chunks. Dark fruit, raisin, port, chocolate oxidation, veg, Dr pepper spice. Carbonic & real acidy upfront. Old fruit, sour plum, lemon juice, peach pit, subtle cider vinegar sweetness. Rindy, bitter earth, decent oxidation, somewhat boozy. Complex, but it was a bit too old. BB: 29/03/2022. Cheers.
