Too much cinnamon - chemical - not balanced…

[neph93]

Possibly evidence of degraded tastebuds at my end, but I didn’t get any of that. Certainly no artificial/chemical elements, and the cinnamon was subtle. It wasn’t spectacular but it was a solid brew.

It's only 9.8% so lacks a bit of depth of course…

Loving this one…

This is a coffee bomb. Almost need some breakfast food to go with it.

Or just drink the beer with breakfast!

Couple of sours from yesterday… the Norwegian Gose won best craft beer for 2019 and was en excellent, balanced brew, complex and tasty.

I’d be interested to know if there is anything more to the “vintage” 3F. It’s all in Belgian though and I can’t be fagged asking Google...

Where did you score the 3F (and how much was it)???

3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze Vintage is a blend of one-, two-, and three-year old lambics. Instead of releasing them after minimum 6 months of bottle conditioning, the vintage series have been cellared for at least three years up to even five years and longer before being released. For an Oude Geuze to become a Vintage, it features characteristics that are unique, sometimes surprising or outspoken. Spontaneous fermentation, patient maturation in oak barrels, and continued evolution of the ecosystem in the bottle result in a distinctively complex and elegant natural beer. No two bottlings are alike, as there are multiple variables in the blending process, a variety of barrel sizes and shapes, differences in aged lambic proportions in the blend, etc. When cellared properly, 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze can be aged for several decades. The aromas and flavours will evolve from notes of vibrant fresh citrus, zesty and grassy notes to a mellow, oaky, stone fruit bouquet as the lambic continues to develop with time. Lambic and Geuze are living, cultural heritage rooted in the Zenne valley!

@Sage954 I’ve Ben seeing the Espresso KBS in the stores,but it’s been about $25 for a 4 pack,so not being a fan of the regular KBS,I didn’t pull the trigger. I do,however,like the CBS. How would you rate this? Is it worth it?

Thanks for the deets. I’ve become cynical and often suspect that brewers and distillers sometimes through a load of old substandard shite together and sell it as “vintage”, or special edition. I only had to take a sip to realise that wasn’t the case. Surprisingly dark, sweeter and rounder than the standard issue, mature apples and a more subdued oak. Very good.

They have another 14 bottles left at the local beer-centric wine monopoly where I bought this, but they are 20€ a pop.

It was released last summer but I haven't seen 'm around… If you have some extra money (sell a child for parts), buy 'm all and either drink 'm or sell 'm for twice the money...
