Garún Icelandic Stout

Lyle Fass
9.6

This is 11.5%. That’s low for wine but crazy high for beer. But this pulls it off. It’s rich. And has dark chocolate and coffee flavors, which is classic stout. But it’s also fresh, textured and really long. There’s something Northern Rhone about it. Hard to describe. But that spirit is here. It’s like nothing I’ve had. A wine beer but still a beer. Quite incredible. The nose is crazy. Super aromatic. Like an old school Anchor Steam X-mas Ale vintage dated magnum from back in the day. Really incredible. — 3 years ago

This might be better than the Blueberry Sour. Unreal aromas. So fresh and so complex. Grapefruit, sweet apple flesh and lovely finesse. A stunning beer. — 4 years ago

Sous Eguisons Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Chardonnay

Absolutely stunning qpr for a serious contemplative white borg. Minerality and a coche-dury-esque gunpowder note dominate the nose along with pear lemon meringue, and some hints of spice. Palate is racy and with a thick mineral spine. Great acidity and reasonable length. Actually abuts st aubin and chassagne Montrachet. Yes!!! — 8 years ago

From what I’ve tasted this is likely my favorite Icelandic brewery. This is light, herbal, fresh and has a long finish that echoes with dried meyer lemon. What an amazing beer! — 3 years ago

Riserva Millecento Brunello di Montalcino 2010

9.4

Surprise! Still haven’t opened it so rating it is a “hope”…think I may have opened a bottle previously…was too soon but hints of greatness linger. These need 10 yrs+ but I think it’s time...2010 Brunello by a famed better winery…bought in Cortona, Italy, next door town to the Montalcino-Montepuciano twin towns of great Italian wine. Resisting the temptation is like resisting “The Borg”. (A Star Trek reference…where are you Capt’n Kirk?) — 5 years ago

Clos des Mouches Santenay 1er Cru Pinot Noir

The 2014 is powerful sinewy elegance. Red fruit, mushrooms, and more graphite than a Bjorn Borg era tennis racket. A superb Santenay. — 8 years ago

Domaine Daniel Rion et Fils

Les Beaux-Monts Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1985

This ok 2 hrs to open up. Started a bit shrill and with "dead wine" undertones that cleared up. Hard to call as a Borg. Fully mature but still with terrific acidity and tannic structure. Nose of dark chocolate, figs, leather dark cherry liquor , menthol, sweet dark cherry. On the palate, burnt orange, balsamic, figs, Roasted nuts. Drying tannins on finish. Terrific, and evolved over hours — 11 years ago

Nøgne Ø (Hansa Borg)

Dark Horizon 4th Edition

Nogne O dark Horizon 4th Ed. Fucking exceptional. Dark fruit, chocolate, coffee nose. Taste exhibits a level of complexity rarely encountered in a beer. Some booze with fruit and sweet graham cracker to start, followed by extremely bitter chocolate with a chalky mouthfeel, then comes an abrupt wave of deep espresso. This all occurs over the course of 45 seconds, then the experience concludes with subtle tropical fruit and novacaine. — 11 years ago
