Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is spicy yeast with lots of coriander, citrus, lemongrass, and wheat. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and lightly bitter. Body is light to medium. Okay I suppose, the finish could be better.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is malt, red fruits, notes of strawberry, caramel, stewed fruits. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and mildly bitter. Medium body. More of an Amber Ale profile, pretty similar to #2 and #3, same deficiencies. Not unpleasant as a (forgettable) ale, but there's not much Double IPA to it.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is modest fruity hop with a sturdy malt profile, picking up oats, grain, notes of pineapple, some citrus, touch of caramel. Flavour is mildly sweet and bitter, body is medium. Lacks NE dankness and it's not that fruity, grains are relatively prevalent. Overall okay but call this an 'Oat IPA' instead.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is pretty grainy with bready wheat, straw, grapes, notes of white wine, green berries. Flavour is a bit tart with a light sourness. Medium body. Shows some promise, but needed a much stronger barrel imprint.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is grainy/wheaty but a bit less so than the Corton Charlemagne. Picking up grapes, notes of white wine, bread. Flavour is mildly tart, not much in the way of sourness. Medium body. Pleasant, but like the other one I would have liked more sourness and barrel/wine.
