330mL bottle. Pours very murky dark gold with small white head. Aroma has rum, gentle fruits, sweet malts. Flavour has sweet sugars, some acidity, stonefruit. This is weird and slightly unpleasant.

330ml (thx, Ryan!) @ Matt's house. Appearance: dirty hazy copper straw. Aroma: apple seeds, some fruity notes, some dirty fruity-veggie notes and a bit of tannins, oxydized. Taste: tart, good malt backnone, but other than that there is nothing good here, it's kinda harch and unbalanced. Overall: meh.

Murky and kind of a dull colour. Tart, the calvados seems to come through quite a bit here. What's the base - a sourish take on a biere de garde? This is an odd bit of a mess. Some brown sugar sweetness in the finish. It's not awful, but it's definitely a mess.

Poured from 330mL bottle. Hazy brown-ish gold with small white head. Butterscotch nose, feint spices, mild apple brandy underlay. Sweet, decent.

330mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma is very oxidized, with old wood, musty earthiness, and some spirit. Flavour is sweet, almost syrupy, with tons of boozy brandy, some oxidation, butterscotch, apple seeds, and old wood. This is bizarre. It's difficult to say this is good, as there is so much odd about this. Ultimately, this is just incompetent.
