7.5/10
More for sherry fans than IPA fans. Very dark, fairly complex. Pic: having finished Wednesday, I can affirm there's some truth to this meme 😆

Opaque black brown beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, a modest dark chocolate. A mild smokey whiskey aspect that I wasn't expecting or desiring. The PX barrelling brings a trace of oaky vanilla and a little sherry richness but nothing like I was hoping for. Smooth and slightly savoury and spicy finish. Yeah, nice Impy, just not the PX celebration it was going to be in my head.

330 ml bottle. Pours a deep copper color with moderate head. Aromas of fruity rum, oak, gummy bears, dry caramel, and sweet toasted malts. Flavors of calvados, rye, baked apples, candi sugar, and more sweet toasted malts. Very nice

330 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with moderate head. Notes of bourbon and soft peaty whisky on a nice caramel malt base. Peatiness is not overbearing and without iodine flavors. A little thin to start but otherwise very good.

Pours a very dark brown with light head. Subtle barrel effect. Sweet and salty chocolate, with a bit of dry oak and roasted malts. Very nice.

A light haze on this gold amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth malts, a light creamy sweetness, a nice light touch of caramel toffee sweetness. Loads of Cognac, very good because its fruity and rich and has a nice sherry vibe. Ripe fruits and crystallised fruits abound. A little oak barrel infused vanilla. Lovely. An innocuous looking barleywine in a little bottle but so much better than other barleywines served in fancier bottles. Spot on Cognac barrelling over a tidy base barleywine. If you don't like this then I would be curious to hear what you expect from a beer like this?
