No 131 - Urthel Samaranth (Belgium)

When I try to fit my whole head in the glas; deep, penetrating aromas of blood oranges, sugary water, white chocolate and a moist forest, invades my nose. Very deep and complex. Stunning!
The taste is big, steady and lovely with a creamy structure and notes of orange peel, mature bananas, and white chocolate with whipped cream. Long, long and long. The 11,5% doesn´t show itself in any way. Very, very nice.

No 130 - Andechser Doppelbock Dunkel (Germany)

A fine, somewhat acidic nose with notes of pickled cherrys, dark cookie dough, balsamic vinegar and some chocolate. Nice enough but that much character.

The taste is good and steady with notes of chocolatecovered cherrys, oaky notes and balsamic vinegar. A long and semi-dry ending. Good but not special.
