On tap at Darby’s, pours black with a small tan head. Nose is full of robust roasted malt, big charred, woody oak, maybe some spirit (although I can’t say which), and a toxic of burnt sugars. Flavour is bold, with a nice roasted malt base, then the barrels kicks in — must be some sort of spirit or liqueur that combines with the oak/bourbon character. There’s some burnt sugars that are well-attenuated. Comes together reasonably well. Solid.

Pale purple of butterfly pea, mouthfeel of lactose. A touch of blackberry/ tayberry on the nose. I think there’s vanilla as well. Cherry. They asked if I had allergies, but that was probably a feint unless they were referring to lactose. Anyway, it wasn't that good. Too much vanilla.

Bright pale pink, hazy, lots of raspberry flavouring, a bit jammy but blends into the base well. Not a direction I favour because it reduces the complexity of the original but it’s fine.

Pale and hazy. Soft brett, a light barrel accent. It’s more rounded than the original. Good complexity.

Pale, hazy. They all look identical. Thin head. Cucumber mainly not so much mint. It just sits overtop of the regular, but mutes it a bit. Sort of incongruous.

Hazy pale. The apricot isn’t obviously dries but it does give a bright fruity boost to this.

Pale and hazy. Jalapeño is evident, lime maybe, tequila or at least some tequila barrel usage here. Good balance and decently made for a not good concept.

473 ml can. Pours an opaque white/yellow with light head. Aromas of pithy lemons, melons, weed, dull pine, and wheaty malts. Flavors are awful: soap, dirt, bitter lemon, bitter wheat, dry melons and dirty weed. Way off balance. Just bad. Not sure what the point is. Did anyone at the brewery sample this, or just sniff it? Drain pour.

473 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with full bubbly tan head. Aromas of soft roasted malts, chocolate, and cola. Flavors of nutty chocolate and roasted malts with a bit of sugar. A sweet but nice, modern Baltic Porter.

The base witicism, pours with a slight haze. Medium body, touch fruity, mild citrus notes. It’s okay, a bit sticky compared with the exemplars of the style.
