Can from Drankgigant.nl, Vlissingen, Netherlands and consumed at home Thursday 5th February 2026 was listening to Huw Stephens on 6Music, now talking to Isobel, it's Round Table later so hopefully we'll get to listen to that 😏. Pours dark gold actually it's not it's practically amber, with a large white sticky head. This is fascinating, really interesting beer, the barrel ageing is clearly leaving its mark but it's difficult to determine what barrel, it says brandy but would never have realised. Nice softness, citrus, light boozy, lingering bitterness, there's a little woody edge to it, it's really nice. Score 7.9

Smoliście czarna, pozbawiona prześwitów, tak wygląda barwa płynu. Piana w kolorze ciemnego brązu średnio wysoka, dość szybko topnieje do cienkiego pierścienia. Niemal każde przechylenie sniftera powoduje "pływanie" piany po szkle.
Aromat bardzo intensywny, palony, kawowy, z nutami ciemnej czekolady, kakao, akcentami orzechów.
Smak minimalnie słodki z paloną, kawową goryczką. Goryczka jest wyraźna, długa, "sucha".
Alkohol nieznacznie przypomina o swojej obecności. Ciało wysokie, pełne. Tekstura płynu jest oleiście gładka, "śliska". Posmak długi wytrawny, kawowy, palony.

0.33 l can from 'Craftbeers', best before January 2027. Hazy, orangeish amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish, rather fruity and a bit resiny aroma of mango, orange, pineapple and some vanilla. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, rather fruity, slightly resiny taste of orange, mango, pineapple, vanilla, some whisky and light pine, followed by a medium long, gently bitter, a little woody finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Good IPA, interestingly flavoured by the barrels, very heavy on the oaky vanilla flavours. Definitely one of the better barrel-aged IPA's from Kees.

Can picked up from Drankgigant.nl webshop, Vlissingen, Netherlands and consumed at home Sunday 1st February 2026 after a lovely loop walk to Brotjackelreigel and beer (or two) in the tower. We've got Chicken Meatballs with Orzo for tea tonight. Pours hazy light silvery/gold with a mid sized white head. Nice soft mouthfeel. After the SN Torpedo and the Pomona Island 'What the Dormouse Said', this is definitely more in Torpedo territory, lovely resinous touches throughout, nice malty underbelly but a big hoppiness, it's a lovely, lovely beer reminds me a lot of a classic big West Coast IPA. Score 8.0

Bottle share at CBJ. Thanks to Mr Frog for the can. Near clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, a mild dryness, decent fine carbonation. Fluffy pale malts, mildly dry, a mild creamy sweetness. Soft pine into slightly ripe citrus. Airy finish. Bit ripe.
