The beer: Double Perle. The People: Weird Beard Brewery. The standing: 8.6%
For a while I avoided Milk stouts as the first one I had a few years back was horrible, but this is the third one this year and they have been much nicer.
This one is also a coffee milk stout so it also has a bonus to it. I dont drink coffee but I do like coffee beers. And this one is no exception.
The aroma is what you would expect, chocolately, dark fruits though a gentle note and coffee, good coffee at that. The taste is the same but with a little milky taste, with spice, roasted coffee and has enough going on while maintaining balance. The texture is really pleasant, quite medium body, not oily and leaves the same aftertaste as the main taste to be honest. You will never forget what your drinking the whole time.

Here we have… Oerbier! Cant help but think of what went through my mind for picking this bottle, I cant get over the design and can barely read a single word, glorious. Oerbier is bought to us from De dolle brewery standing at 9%.
The aroma is red berries, barley wine and some alcohol. The taste is quite tarte with a bitterness, barley wine note and berries. Someone also mentioned a slight dried fig note, can totally agree as well. The texture has quite a high carbonation, quite clean and does not linger. There is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste but it quickly dissipates. Overall this is a nice beer, does give you stuff to think about while tasting it, but I’m not head over heels with it. Apart from that logo, it is glorious and yes the bottle does have a bowtie. What a badass.
