7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8
Tap. Deep brown with a lasting beige head. A: Spicy and a bit leathery with toffee and figs. Very Westmalle Dubbel - presumably that overbearing yeast is the archnemesis. Heavier than expected from the aroma - verging on syrupy and overtly boozy. Lots of dark fruit and sugars but not much dough. Bitterness is pretty firm and that spicy yeast really works to balance the heavy malt presence. This is very good and I'm guessing someone has been working up to this one for many years.

On tap at the brewery. Pours dark orange brown. Bourbon, orange, vanilla, raisins, pine, grapefruit. Barrel has added a boozier flavour, dulled the citrus hop notes and really improved the body. Good.

On tap at the brewery. Pours gold brown. Orange, pine, grapefruit, lemon, floral, biscuit, plenty caramel, touch of heat in the finish. Quite light bodied and carbonation is too high.

On tap at the brewery. Pours gold. Banana, orange, peach, cloves, pepper, bread. Hard to control the yeast notes in something this strong and they're not far off.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a bizarre pale green. Lime, sugar, tart lime juice, touch of salty dough, more lime to finish. Tart, sweet and refreshing. No attempt at a second dimension, no attempt at complaint from me. Lots of fun.

Canned March 1. Very slightly hay gold with a fluffy white head. 3+ Aroma has lots of an interesting herbal citrus note that's like bitter orange flesh, some crackers, honeydew melon, green mango. Lightish bodied but has a creamy freshness to it. Carbonation is on the lowish side of medium - although it looks higher. A little lick of crackery malt provides just enough sweetness to support the hops. They are fruity but on the savoury side with almost sour underripe tropical fruit and herbal citrus, melon. Finish is drier with medium high bitterness. Good.

Can. Hazy straw with a white head. Aroma of crackers, tropical bubblegum, lemon, light cloves. Quite wit-like. And so it tastes, albeit with a firmer than expected bitterness at the spicy finish.
