Can that pours a light hazy, light golden-amber colour with a big frothy-fluffy white cap, good stay and leaving some thick foamy lacing. The nose gives out those berry and tropical flavours of jujubes. Very candied. Papaya mango and peach sweetness. The taste is where is does not becomes overly sweet, rich. Goes down nicely, thin enough with a decent dry finish. The ginger lingers, with its spiciness building with time. I really do not mind this one.

Can that pours a dark murky brown colour with a nice, big frothy-creamy, light mocha-coloured that has good retention and leaving some good dirty-foam lacing. Chocolate malt nose base with the fruity notes. Some sourness does come out, and is felt more in the taste. Choco-malt base with some berry notes. A decent dessert beer that goes down nicely, as not too rich.

Arômes maltés à la sauce caramel et érable avec forte teneur en alcool. On remarque aussi de subtiles notes de cerises et de houblons épicés. Couleur brun clair, très limpide, une bonne effervescence, une mousse beige de taille moyenne, crémeuse et bien persistante. Caramel et érable sont les vedettes en bouche avec une puissante chaleur d’alcool. Léger fruité rappelant les cerises au marasquin. Houblons et alcool épicés en finale accrochant au passage une légère amertume. La corpulence est plutôt moyenne et la carbonation assez vive pour ce style. Un Barley Wine en manque de complexité maltée, axé sur les houblons Anglais, à la texture un peu mince mais qui satisfait quand même mon palais. O :6.438 V :4.911 G :8.492 C :3.0 G :12.0 T : 34.841

Very slightly unfiltered, bright yellow colour with a huge white frothy head that lasts a while, and leaves patchy thick foam lacing. The nose is a mix of citrus notes and floral grasses. The mouthfeel is fairly thin with some decent dryness. Mild hops flavours with the same mix of citrus and grass. Kind of very mild for a 5.6% ABV IPA, almost feels like a session IPA, without the dry-hopping. Refreshing, but that is about it.

Hazy bright golden-yellow colour with a big warm head that is frothy, kind of creamy, long lasting and leaving full creamy-foamy lacing. Lemon and orange juices with some of its zest. Hints of cilantro and honey. The taste shows bitterness from grassy hops. The mouthfeel is fairly dry. A very nice bitter dry-hopped Citra IPA. I prefer this version over the Vic Secret I had a few days ago.

Can that overflows right away, pouring a light golden-yellow colour with lots of particles running through it. The big cap is huge, white, frothy, soapy with crazy long stay and dirty foam lacing. Lemon zest aromas with some mild sweet yeast and other citrus juices. The taste shows very big bitterness and dryness in the finish. Pure citrus peel and some grassy hop notes. This is quite a bitter-dry IPA that has been dry-hopped to the max.

Slightly hazy amber colour with golden highlights. The head is big, creamy-frothy, warm light-beige coloured with good retention a some creamy lacing left. Big peach aromas of fruitiness with some apples. The flavours blends the fruit nicely to not be too sweet. Some nice mild spicy rye base lingers a bit. The finish is mildly dry helping things. The body seem pretty thin and alcohol well-hidden - if really 8% ABV. Will know in a few minutes. Goes down well for a fruity beer of this level.

Vintage 2015. 330mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a tiny beige head. Nose is extremely sweet, with vanilla beans, intense black liquorice, molasses, lots of booze, and dark fruits. Flavour has a nice sherry-like oxidation, lots of booze, dark fruits, molasses, black liquorice, and vanilla beans. Rather rough and hot, but it seems like it's mellowed and refined. Quite pleasant extreme beer.
