Bottle via the online shop. Mostly clear deep cola brown with a thick fairly loose lasting beige foam. Looks boss. Nose has sweet balsamic. Old oak. Brett. Light nutty chocolate malt. Leafy peppery aged hop. Taste is semi sweet with a decent tangy bitterness throughout. Foamy rolling carbonation. Bit of twangy tartness to finish. Minimal acidity without being overly complex makes for an easy drinking beer in the style of a well made Oud Bruin. Class.

Bottle via the online shop. Soft haze on a deep orange. Swede is unreal. Thick dense lasting forever white foam. Easy 10. Nose has big Mills bugs. White burgundy barrels lift heavy. Taste is juicy sweet and floral herbal bitter. Drinks mighty fine. Beautiful mouthfeel is silky and juicy. Nicely bitter finish. Typically class.

Bottle via the online shop. Misted pale copper colour. Very decent swede is lasting and nicely dense. Nose has Mills bugs. Damp wood. Some stone fruit. Some ripe citrus. Taste is a little dry and a little tart. Faint acidity (enough for the missus to bail out). Some sweetness poking through. Juicy and foamy on the palate. Juicy lightly tart finish. If I didnโt know there was a coffee addition I might not have picked up on it, and thatโs fine by me, but there is an extra layer here that elevates a classic easy drinking Mills. Also itโs an easy 10 for appearance.

Bottle via the online shop. Misted pale gold. Swede is remarkable. Slim and super dense semi lacing and bright white. The barrel character here is top tier. Bright mineraly Burgundy wine. Smelly ripe apples. The two go together well. Taste is juicy ripe and light bitter. Very clean and sinkable. Big juicy semi tangy fruity dry finish. Iโm rambling. Top tier gear.

Fabulous. The cider and whiskey barrels are divinely balanced. Lots of deep wood and earth. Brewed in 2020.
