Some Jester King 分桃 details...

Any un-fruited Uberkind coming down the line?

 

Damn good question!

 

I definitely appreciate the higher bottle counts because it means people who are only interested in rare beer don't really try to trade for it. It's funny seeing all the posts looking for JK fruit but not nocturn.

 

Hope Fen has a bit more peach punch this time around. Love them stone fruits!

 

Have you had one lately? Its a peach bomb now. Incredible.

 

I figured it was Thrash Metal with how often it's made.

 

I thought JK's flagship beer was OG Black Metal...

 

Just popped one last night. I tasted grass and Das. Only a hint of peach. Exactly what I remembered first time I had it.

 

My experience matches Patrick's. Opened one last weekend that had been stored in a mostly room temp dark closet. Same funk on the nose as on release, but tons of peach in the flavor.

 

I never had Fen fresh...but when I opened one up a few weeks ago it was big time peach. The guy I drank it with said that it was way more peach than he remembered when it was fresh.

 

Similar storage. Dark closet at room temp.

Little to no peach.

Was like AL light. Similar flavor profile, but very light on the stone fruit where AL has much more.

 

Bummer man. I can honestly say that was far from mine and @AgentMarshall 's experience.

 

I didn't get much peach when I had it on tap. With that being said, I think the fruit was meant to be more subtle than some of their other 500ml. I can't wait to get my hands on some more Aurelian, it's by far my favorite beer that they produce and it looks pretty in the glass too.
