Can. Amber with a fluffy white head. Aroma of pine, breadcrust, weeds, someone citrus. Forthright, slightly medicinal. There having been no sign of the exotic in the aroma, the appearance of berries and a seemingly smoky herbal note is a surprise, but in the main everything’s tamed by resin, weed/s and firm bitterness. Interesting.

500ml bottle. Pretty much black with a brown head that fades fairly quickly to a cm. Aroma of chocolate, hard roast, some signs of booze. Booming rich taste; sweet with alcohol, bitterness and some singed notes reining things in at the end. Still really swiggable, which is dangerous. Smooth but the lactose is not really obvious. It is well tasty but doesn't offer enough for 12% ABV.

Can. Very clear copper with a cm of white head. Aroma of tropical fruit, berries, grass, some breadcrust. Quite sweet, medium bodied with passionfruit, berries, some mandarin before a little resin assists the firmly bitter finish. The hops are oddly more obviously NZ upon a taste.

Can. Clear pale amber with a cm+ of white head that lasts well. Gentle aroma of grapefruit, Meyer lemon, some mango, crackers. Little body, moderately fizzy. Some berries in the taste as well as the other fruit but not much in the way of a malt presence. Dry and disconcertingly spectral - sometimes hoppy beers without much malt presence collapse on the palate but here the hops just hover. Not much of a finish.

From a 500ml bottle on 14/6/2021. Pours a clear light amber with a medium head. The nose is strong with some caramel, apple and dark and dried fruit. Has a decent amount of caramel and toffee sweetness up front, along with some date and red apple. Finishes with a super firm tongue coating resiny bitterness with just a touch of booze. Medium body, slightly syrupy with moderate carbonation. Has a bit of Sierra Nevada Bigfoot about it but not as good. Still a pretty decent barleywine which has the potential to develop.

Bottle, 12C. Lovely almost glowing clear amber with a fat dense off-white coat of a head. Aroma of citrus, singed creamy toffee, spices, obvious alcohol. Rich malt but the sweetness is countered by strong bitterness. The citrus notes are less to the fore. The booze is better integrated than suggested by the aroma. The bittersweet finish lingers briefly. Good balance and finish but not a whole lot of depth.

Amber with a frothy, white head. Caramel aroma with a melange of tropical fruits underneath, but also goes in a somewhat floral direction. Taste is bittersweet up front, bitter at the back with a modest hops kick. Medium bodied, balanced carbonation, nice creamy feel. Nice.
