Can from Hopduvel.
A: clear dark amber, small, foamy, off-white head.
A: coffee bean, raisin, red apple peel, dried fig, hazelnut, almond.
T: sweetish raisin & fig, bitter coffee bean, nuts, toast.
F: bitter earthy hops, nuts, coffee, dried fruits, some vodka-like alcohol.
P: medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation.
Good, a bit thin for the style, ABV and coffee element (which is quite powerful here); but have an extra point for the attempt at something new.

Can. Thanks to Wolf. Just a mild haze on this deep gold - amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Slightly grainy malts, a light creamy sweetness. Mild caramel, a little papery and thin, just a touch of bitterness. Calvados barrel presents as a thin but pleasing apple pie tangy - bruised apple thing. A light and semi dry finish brings mild esters. Curious barleywine - tastes like a really good one that has been watered down at a ratio of 1-2-1.

2/VII/25 - 33cl can from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB: 7/III/26, lotnr: HH-25002 (2025-613)
Cloudy beige blond beer, small creamy dense off-white head, a little stable, falls down quickly, adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: quite some tropical fruits, juicy, some melons, a bit chemical, a hint of band-aid, citrus, zesty, grapefruit. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bitter start, a bit chemical, paint tinner, resinous, very bitter hops, pretty dry, some grapefruit. Aftertaste: more fruity, quite some alcohol, a bit of hop burn in the throat, more citrus, zesty hops, a bit grassy, decent stuff, a bit too fresh maybe given that hop burn?
