Excellent and full of flavor, smooth, silky, blend of charcoal and dark red fruit, paired perfectly with a peppery chateaubriand. — 16 days ago

BFM = Brasserie Franches Montagne. This is the Flanders Red Ale. A sour ale.

Possibly the best beer I have ever had?
The nose is dried red apple + dried guava +
Tart fruit on the tongue with a finish of sweet malt and tart cherry juice.
A wonderful acid finish that to me is reminiscent of what you might find in a — 7 months ago

Rich, quite hoppy but zesty enough to pull it off with class. Nice. — 6 years ago

This is amazing! Right up there with Pliny for me. So well balanced and complex. Would love to try one fresh in Maine as the trek to California probably has some negative influence on taste. — 6 years ago

Wasn’t expecting this to hold up to the amazingly rich tonkatsu at Butagumi. But, really hit the mark, especially with a bite of cabbage — a year ago

Treacle, blackstrap molasses, tar, dark chocolate, pipe tobacco, black raisin, medjool dates, myrrh, ganache, opium-coffee, and ginseng scented. Amorphous mouthfeel, runs from thick and round to acid-buoyed on the end of a floral stalk. Dark brown sugar without the sweet, fig, clove, allspice, a little Nuóć Mam, toffee, cinnamon, nutmeg and gingerbread. This is mouthcoating breakfast fare begging for luxardo cherries or lingonberries, spicy sausage, rye toast, and smoky paprika. Gotta give it to the civet! — 5 years ago

One of the nicest chocolate stouts I have had. A great brew from those traditional and skilled chaps at Samuel Smiths. — 6 months ago

Popped and poured. First non-Hellenic wine in nearly two weeks. The 2019 RdM by Tenuta Buon Tempo is about as traditional as it gets. It pours a sort of slightly hazy garnet with a slightly brownish rim. On the nose, bright, juicy, Morello cherries, some orange zest, black tea, dried green herbs, porchini, gravelly earth minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and so satisfying. An excellent sipper while my son and I made dinner for the family; a small splash was perfect as part of the foundation for the sauce; and it paired perfectly with pasta alla Norma. Drink now through 2029. — 8 months ago

Very decent beer. Floral, hoppy, good depth, plenty of body. Can't go wrong with a Lil' Sumpin'. — 6 years ago
