Eric Chase is drinking a Fruitful Forecast - Mixed Berry by Sante Adairius Rustic Ales at Gollum's Lair
Bottle
Mixed raspberry + blackberry edition of Fruitful Forecast. It seems this may head into a vinegar direction as it ages further, but at the moment there is a nice intermingling of sweet and tart berry notes amidst a backdrop of oak.

Cinnamon is a bit on the harsh side (not surprisingly), but this held up better with age than I had feared a 6 year old adjunct stout with cinnamon would. #MapleMonday

Very strong Belgian gold at 18.9% ABV. Boozy esters, liquor soaked banana raisin bread.

Very similar to when I last sampled this 3 years ago. Not so much marshmallow now, but it does gave that berry liqueur chocolate truffle profile. A bit of a medicinal quality when cold dissipates as it warms, but so does the cocoa depth.
