Certified Cicerone ® & BJCP Recognized Beerjudge Bartender @ Beerlovers Bar & Owner @ Siris About Beer. All ratings displayed on this site are personal opinions, and are not neccesarily to be seen as professional reviews. Some of these beers have been drank in conditions that were far from optimal. If you'd like a professional review of your beer, please contact me. Always interested in meeting up/sharing beers / trading beer . Next to beer, I have a big passion for Ice cider, Mead, and Sherry. Exploring the wine and spirit world asside of this all. Allow me to explain a bit on how I score. These are based on personal enjoyment. Quality & 'in style' are part of that enjoyment, but won't totally make or break a drink, if I myself have a different opinion. Whiskey : Rated on the website 'whiskeybase' ( account Kraddell ) Wine : Rated on the App / Site 'Vivino' ( Account named Kraddel . ) <-- with the dot. Still searching a medium for other spirits, so those aren't online for now. If you know anything, let me know ;) For all mediums, the score is decided like this : 100 : Absolute perfection. Must have sampled it at least twice, and be mindblown twice. 90 - 100 : absolutely amazing. I'd like a drink like this anytime, even if it ain't the cheapest. 80-90 : Very damn good. It'll depend a bit more on the price - but this is probably one to seek out. 70-80 : better than average . Will likely enjoy again if it's priced compeditive. 70 : Average score for anything with alcohol . // 50 : The absolute middlepoint ( pure H2O ) Anything with alcohol beneath 50 is simply not worth drinking (seriously, concider your liver) // 05 : The absolute, final downpoint . Songs shall be written about how this attack to the tastebuds has started a rage within, killing inocent bystanders for no apparent reason - other than the fact my life is ruined by drinking this. On the other hand, it's kinda interesting to try something THIS bad, so you should probably seek it out ! As you can see, I use the FULL scale , and a rating of 70 by myself isn't bad at all !

Kraddel (15082) reviewed Dark Master Imperial Stout from De Meester 3 days ago

Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5

Pours black, small tanned head . Scent is roasty, intense chocolate, mild vanilla. Taste is smooth, very ashy, intense roasty, soy, quite balanced but not my preferred style of impy. Well executed for the goal they probably had. I can see why this brewery is gaining respect rapidly.

Kraddel (15082) reviewed Cardeña Quadrupel / Quadrupel from Monasterio de San Pedro de Cardeña 3 days ago

Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 6.5

Pours dark brown, creamy small head. Scent is dark sugar, dried fruit (Dades , raisins ). Basic, but decent. Taste is fairly bitter and sharp ( for a quad), chocolate, rather bitter. Intense dried fruit (Dades), caramel, not as smooth as I like in a quad, lacks complexity. Not as good as their tripel, though I usually way prefer this style.

Kraddel (15082) reviewed Kasteel Rubus Framboise from Brouwerij Vanhonsebrouck 3 days ago

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5.5 | Flavor - 4.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 4.5

Pours very dark purple red brown, medium sized stable creamy white head. Scent is intense, raspberry and also more generic forest fruit aroma. Taste is very sweet. Simple sugars, fruity aspect ( not very natural). Drying sugaryness. Not as smooth as I expected, on top of it being overly sweet which meets expectations.

Kraddel (15082) reviewed Off the Map A.k.a. Kaapse Hedwig from Kaapse Brouwers 5 days ago

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7.5 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7

Pours clear pale gold. Medium small white head. Scent is very full, grainy, citrus, mild stonefruit / resinous. Quite intense with a sharp zing. Taste is full, quite bitter and sharp, on a dry backbone - this has some WC aspects. Medium-mild resins, some citrus, mild stonefruit. Crisp outspoken maltyness. Easy drinkability, and a pleasant one indeed.
