Pours a clean copper-brown colour with amber highlights. The head is big, frothy, kind of creamy, beige with decent retention and some nice dirty lacing. Cocoa aromas with chocolate malts, roasted one as well. Hints of wood and vanilla. Feels like some light sour infection which is felt in the taste as well. At least the finish has the cocoa powder with a nice smooth dryness. A little nuttiness, but not one I would have again.

Can that pours a hazy golden-amber colour with a small cap that fizzes away quickly with no lacing. Weird, but interesting aromas with fruity malts perfume, skunkiness, caramel and light grassy hops. The taste is also not quite you expect from this style, but not as crazy. A little more bitterness over the caramel malts with again, perfume-like hints. Quite a different Barleywine. Not a really good one.

Can: Poured a deep hazy amber color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops with light tropical fruit notes with some malt presence also noticeable. Taste is a mix of citrusy hops with some muddle fruit flavours and some residual sugar with some malt presence. Body is full with good carbonation. Not bad but lacks some balance and hops presence was not as dominant as I was expecting.

Pours deep amber into an English pint. White head with good retention recedes leaving scant sheets. Caramel aromas. Soft with super elastic bubble plastic upfront turning to bitter earth in the lasting finish.

Can: Poured a cloudy dirty brown color ale with a medium size off-white foamy head with light retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of light tropical fruits notes with some floral citrusy hops notes with light dry notes also perceptible. Taste is a mix of light tropical fruit with some citrusy notes and some residual sugar notes with light dry finish. Body is full with medium carbonation. Appearance isn’t great but the lack of balance is what concern me most about this beer.
