8.4/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 10 Overall 7.5
Bottle at home. Pours deep mahogany brown, almost black in fact. Nose is intense dates, prunes, walnuts, light spicy touch, warming booze, sherry and poppy seed. Taste is sweet notes of booze, bready and nutty malts, dried fruits and faint spices, some chocolate even, pretty round and balanced. Closes with long lasting warming and sweet finish, has a full body and soft caronation. Always preferred the English iterations over the American versions when it comes to barley wines and this one's no exception either. Incredibly rich malty character and full body, pretty hecking tasty. It's not your usual boost-rate either, I do think it's one of the best MONYO beers to date.

Tap, bottle, minden is. Clean, deep golden pour, white head. Nose is honey, grassy hops, ight citric notes. Taste is rather bitter, grassy and herbal, perhaps somewhat citrusy, with some malts and a touch of honey again. A decent IPA - or at least is must've been in 2015, it's not as interesting nowadays imho, but still a well made brew.

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow with white head. Nose is light grassy hops, tropical fruity notes, with warming these latter become more prominent. Some citric character's also present. Taste is somewhat sweet fruity and floral notes, light candy sweetness, but the finish is surprisingly dry and somewhat bitter too. Closes with fruity hoppy finish, has light body and soft carbonation.

7.6/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Bottle. Pours jet black with thin head. Nose is huge lovely coffee, pretty intense and it showcases the characteristics of the coffee that’s in there. Taste is light roasted malts, some booze, faint chocolate, some vanilla and big coffee again: slightly acidic, even fruity, chocolatey. Closes with long lasting coffee finish, has light body and soft carbo. Love the coffee presence here both in aroma and taste and the oak is a nice touch as well, but the base beers feels too thin.

7.4/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Bottle. Pours black with a reddish hue and beige head. Nose is intense grapes and stone fruits, some plum on the coffeeish, roasted malty notes of the base beer. Taste is coffee, earthy notes and dark chocolate with the Kékfrankos joining the party somewhat later but taking on the lead onwards. It's truly on the border of wine and beer, both bringing something to the table. Closes with abrupt finish, has a light (in fact too light) body and soft to average carbo.

Bottle. Pours copper with an off-white head. Nose is citrus zest, some stone fruits perhaps, grassy hops, and caramely hops. Taste is citrusy, grassy hops upfront, light to moderate bitterness. In the finish some sweetness joins the party tho, caramel and light bready malty notes appear. Closes with bittersweet finish, has light body and soft to average carbo. Although mosaic is a timeless classic, this is a bit one dimensional all in all.

Bottle at home. Copper pour, off white head. Nose is bready, toffee malts, somewhat sweet, but not overwhelmingly. Taste is nicely balanced between bitter and sweet, leaning towards the later just slighlty. Grass, bread, toffee, faint nuts, some caramel. Closes with sweetish finish, has a light, crisp body and lively carbonation.

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 10 Overall 7
Bottle shared at home. Pours surprisingly deep, amber-copper colour with off-white head. Nose is an inviting mixture of the classic Belgian strong characteristics -sweet booze, candi and esters,that is- and a funky, brett-y, almost mixed ferm-like touch. Taste-wise it's not as mixed, but dominated by the estery, boozy honey-like character of the base beer with just a touch of that funk from the aroma. Closes with a long lasting sweet and warming finish, it has a full body and average to high carbonation.
