Can. Cloudy orange, no head. 3- Funky aroma of damp grain,old lemons, twigs and cloves. Wheaty with some apricot. Dry finish with cloves, white pepper and a little bitterness. Interesting and very refreshing.

Can. Clear brown with a beige head that fizzes away immediately. Mellow aroma of the forest floor, cherries, sherry vinegar. Very gently sour with complex aged malty notes, a little bitterness (more than expected), hard spices, a little blood note I didn't care for. As usual, it's very nicely balanced - deep with modest but insistent sourness.

Can. Pretty much black with a light tan head that settles to a good cm and after a long time retreats to the rim. Aroma of fruity funk, darker stewed fruit and sugars, coriander, licorice. Full but soft, creamy texture is lovely. Rich but dry with peach, oak, dark sugars. Coiled, intense spiced dried fruit, licorice. An oaky and fairly bitter finish. No overt alcohol. Reminds me of Pannepot Reserva. Great beer.

Can. Slightly hazy gold with a white head. Funky, floral and fruity aroma with peach, pineapple, rose petals, oranges, crackers. Crackery malt is insubstantial and the hops and Brett kind of do their own thing without being grounded by it. Tropical fruit, rose petals, oak and twiggy notes. More funky than bitter. Lots going on but not quite tied together.

Can. Unclear amber with a dense 2cm white head. Rich bread and cake aroma with floral and some citrus notes. Some apricot. So it tastes. Rich and fat but it's all whisked away at a finish that's modestly bitter but more peppery than I expected. Pretty good in a style that's only grown on me a little over the years.

Can. Clear very dark brown with a lasting fat coat of beige head. Aroma of dried and stewed fruit (raisins, figs), mace, licorice, slight roast, dough. Full bodied, lowish carbonation. Lots of dark fruit and sugared dough but plenty of bitterness and spice too. Mace, coriander, white pepper. No overt alcohol. My guess is that some will like it more as the bitterness and spices fade a bit but I like it fine now.

Can. Almost clear gold. A white head flashes and is gone. 3- Aroma of honeyed dough, grapes, boot polish, oak , glace pineapple. Sour but with some sweetness and body. Lemony, oaky and zingy at the end. Deep, coherent flavours. Involving, serene.

Can. Opaque burnt orange with a 2cm white head that quickly fades to a scant coat. Aroma of peach, mango, a little sharpish herbal citrus, crackers. A little bit Berocca. Thinnish and fairly fizzy. Fruity but dryish with a Berocca/ aspartame element to the aftertaste that's more prominent than the lowish bitterness.

Can. Gold with a small raft of white bubbles. Aroma of nectarines, pineapple, grapes, Dubbin, bracken, oak. Slippery with a fair bit of body, moderate carbonation. Quite sour. More nectarine than pineapple with a brief lull before grapey/ grassy notes that are presumably the hops. Less funky than suggested by the aroma with a little gripping oak at the end. Keeps a lot of balls in the air.

Can. A slightly (chill?) hazed amber with an off white head that's soon a coat. Aroma of singed biscuits, spices. Malty and briefly rich before (perfectly) balancing spicy bitterness provides a finish. Only a little more carbonation than their recent Helles but it's enough. Good.
