500 ml red waxed bottle poured into a tulip. Black body with no head. Aroma has notes of port, bourbon, dark chocolate, dark fruits, a bit of caramel/toffee. Taste has sweet port wine up front along with sweet dark and dried fruits, bourbon, dark chocolate. Alcohol is very well masked for 17% ABV. Full body. A tasty, well balanced blend of barrel aged barleywine and imperial stout.

EQ Peanut Butter S'mores Blueprint Barrel Aged

500 ml bottle from EQ, 8/4/25. Pours dark brown-black with a fizzy medium brown head that dissipates in a matter of seconds to basically nothing. Sweet aroma of chocolate, peanut, peanut butter, vanilla, brown sugar, molasses, bourbon, and roast. Leans sweet, but not overly sweet. Packed with flavor. Legitimately one of the most flavorful beers I've ever had. Fairly full bodied. Lightly sticky. Lengthy finish that sticks around on the mouth. Booze is present but not overwhelming. Sometimes these sweet BA stouts don't work for me, but I really enjoyed this one.
7/8.5/9/8/9

Not bad for EQ. Little sour on the finish.

Flight.
Poured light yellow in color.
Creamy looks. Juicy with good body, red grapefruit, light bitterness. Good drinkability. Milshake IPA? Fortunately did not feel like that, but was indeed on the sweeter side for me, but not in a lactose sweetness kind of way.

Can from One Stop Market. Hazy, pale yellow (grapefruit juice/lemonade), good-sized head, fair retention, nice lacing. Aroma is citrus, light pine, herb. Taste is lemon citrus, maybe mild tropical fruit and mango. Watery texture, lively carbonation on the tip of the tongue on the swallow, dry, lingering bitter finish. Aroma and taste are fine but look and palate are a bit strange.

16 fl.oz. can, as Equilibrium C Pale Ale, from Vinmonopolet Sandnes Kvadrat. ABV is 4.8%. Overcarbonated, a wheat beer glass fills completely by white foam, and the very pale golden beer appears extremely slowly. Aroma of sewage and rotting / decaying fruits and vegetables. Dull flavour of grain and dust, hints of decaying vegetables in the background. Low bitterness. Drainpour!

Lovely evening sipper.
Could be to much with a bottle alone. Perfect for sharing or keep for the next days.

Tad sweet.
