I unapologetically love dark roast coffee. That’s not to say I don’t appreciate the delicate complexity and bright flavors often found in the lighter roasted, single-origin coffees favored by many roasters and third-wave cafes. But for my everyday morning cup? I want it with milk and sugar, and I want it dark. So when I opened a bag of Bean & Bean’s Fancy Diner Coffee, I immediately knew it was going to hit the mark.

Six years ago, Taiwan’s Kavalan re-launched the Single Cask Strength Series of its single malts, with high-proof versions of its four uniquely matured bottlings on tap. We didn’t review them at the time, but from what I can tell this was a semi-relaunch of the Solist series. Neither series however has been available since 2018, but now they’re back, at least for a limited time.

Making a good Belgian white is tricky enough. Now make it without alcohol. Karbach’s rendition of an NA Belgian pulls it off fairly well: Boldly flavored with lemon, orange, and that inimitable coriander character, the palate is bright and acidic — like it’s already had the orange slice expressed and dropped into the glass. The body doesn’t quite nail the foamy chewiness of a Belgian witbier — in fact, the beer is wholly transparent and not at all hazy.

The exciseman is a typically vilified person in the annals of Scottish history. In the 1700s, distillers in Scotland found themselves suddenly subjected to taxes on their beloved whisky. Some distillers, like those in Speyside, were protected by the region’s geography. Other distillers, like those in the Lowlands, were forced to pack up their stills and move their illicit operations to evade the excisemen.
