355 ml can, as Sierra Nevada Peachy Little Thing IPA, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 7%. Moderately hazy golden colour, large to moderate white head. Aroma of ripe peaches (no surprise), hints of mango. The flavour is not as sweet as I feared, and there is a decent hop bitterness throughout - but of course: also peaches galore. Well, you can't say you haven't been warned by the name.

Canned 7/15/25, drunk 9/28/25.
Clear, bright, flaxen-golden with some deep brass. Large, frothy, fairly well-retained, white head.
Spicy noble hop is quite evident but not overdone. Herbs and baked bread align with light mineral a mild white grape lingering. Richly-malted and quite aromatic for SN.
Clean, very malty for a festbier, not that there's any reason it can't be so. Rich, rich honey, bread and spicy hop lingering. Very malty, but flavorful and satisfying and well-attenuated.

Can at Goblet ZG for the closing party. Last new tick I bought at the OG Stupnička location, and potentially my last tick there overall (my last beer at the location was C4, ofc). Hazy golden body, off-white head. Dried peach and resin in the aroma. Smooth, oxidized aroma, dried peach, light floral notes, sweetish and bitterish. BIt gone I'm afraid. Like Goblet's Stupnička location, hahah.

Mahogany body with a soft off-white head. Caramel malt, kiwi and citrus notes on the nose. The Roasted malts lead the taste profile, with honey, tea, citrus fruit and earth tones adding to the mix. Body is flat, like a cask. Smooth and slightly sticky. A definite winner.

This is one of the weirdest revues I have ever done. Once you get over the fact that this is not an imperial stout - it is a more a slightly sour Barleywine - this is a lovely drinking experience. The nose is ripe with tasty elements - dark berries, a touch of bourbon, chocolate and some citrus hops. The near black body is covered by a pillowy light tan head with solid lacing. The taste is a wonderful mess of things - chocolate, dark fruit, tart currents, only a touch of bourbon, sour fruit and coconut. The currents and the sourness really start to step up as the beer approaches room temperature. There really isn’t enough coffee or chocolate presence, or characteristic richness and density, to call this an imperial stout. The But I couldn’t give a damn about categories. A really nice, challenging and tasty imperial brew. Some really lovely counterbalances.

A rich, sumptuous BW with intense but well balanced tastes. The nose is pungent, featuring slightly burnt caramel and toffee, dark malt, booze and dark berries. The casking is very present, but supported by strong taste elements in the barleywine components. Significant American hops, raisins, apricots, caramel, toffee and a touch of sweet rum work well with the oak and the whiskey casking. The hops create a bite in the aftertaste that keep counterbalancing the booziness and richness of the other taste. elements. Superior. An appropriately dense and thick body and medium carbonation tie the bow on this special BW.

A very refreshing fruity IPA! The nose is dynamic, featuring scents of piney, tropical and floral hops and soft grainy malt. The hop taste profile accents the hops as promised, with fresh tropical flavours supplemented by floral and citrus accents. Might even be a hint of cherry and pepper in there. The malt is soft and accommodating. A well blended IPA with a dry finish.

0.568 l can from 'Beyond Beer', best before June 2025. Hazy, golden yellow with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, rather fruity and a bit dank aroma of passion fruit, mango, pineapple and light peach. Rather sweet, fairly fruity-floral, slightly dank and a bit boozy taste of pineapple, passion fruit, mango and some peach, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, slightly boozy finish. Full body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Tasty stuff, super fresh and fruity, not too sweet or boozy yet.
