Cuvee Van de Keizer Beer: 3.0 – That’s too many words. Like as a beer that’s so much. Sorry the last sentence wasn’t about the name, but the beer itself. There’s so much going on, but overall there’s a cloying sweetness that you can’t escape from. It’s like being stuck in a sugary black hole – it’s astounding and so much is intriguing, but you will die of sugar.
Price Average: $13

The Beast: 2.0 – It’s sweet and syrupy in all the wrong ways. There’s certainly depth here, and apparently a high alcohol content. It tastes like the worst result of a bourbon barrel aging, and then some. Quite honestly this was not finished and was poured out, which is never a good sign. The score would be lower aside from the rare chance that someone with a ‘unique’ palate looking for something like this would love it, but just because someone like Durian doesn’t mean it’s a highly ranked food.
Price Average: The Beast $10
