750 from the Tin Bucket. Pours a pure black color with a medium beige head. A light oak and vanilla nose. The flavor is super sweet vanilla, bourbon, some bitter chocolates, coffee more oak. Quite nice. A slick palate.

Can at Xarcuteria, Stockholm. A bit hazy orange with a medium head. Aroma and taste of hops, fruit, some malt, biscuits and some light notes of hay. Not that bitter. An ok IPA although not a brilliant one.

Very hazy amber beer, good pale cream coloured head. Palate is minerally crisp. Creamy malt with big crystal malt caramel and a little toffee. Nice malt base! Big and bitter marmalade hops with a contrasting pine. Finishes smooth with a barleywine like salty bitterness and bitter linger. Overall quite barleywine like in character. Nice!

Hazy gold beer, little white head. Palate is light, dry and crispy. Thin creamy malt, dry. Rose perfume, but not sweet sweet or cloying, nicely judged. Whisper of citrus. Finishes dry. Somewhat one dimensional but does what it says on the tin!
