Bottle via Beermalade tasting. Full body, med-high carbonation. Assertive alcohole, present in moderate strength, but pleasantly, adding a rounded warmth, no harshness. Med-high sweetness, dried fruits, light sherry. High hoppy bitterness, med-light citrusy earthy character. Overall very well rounded. This is a sipper, rewarding even as it warms up. I could use more hops character in an American barley wine, but this is a bottle over a year old. So, great.

Bottle via Beermalade tasting. Conflicting body impression, objectively rather thin, but the massive maltiness imparts a very silky mouthfeel, which pulls it up to medium. Med-high carbonation. Medium bitterness, low sweetness. Hops in the background. Overall fully malty in character. Loads of caramel, toffee, cocoa. Deep roast (coffee) present, but less than I expect in an Irish stout. I even get light dark fruits/berries. Also a bit of diacetyl, but that just might be the plethora of malts interacting. Slightly minerally feeling, which is on point in style. Overall the beer is good. But I am distracted by the style, which it does not feel into. My idea of dry stout is having a more simple, but intense malt character, this needlessly embraces a whole spectrum of flavours, which in the end paradoxically work against it, creating conflicting feelings in body, etc. Good but not great.

Bottle via Beermalade tasting. Thin body, med-high carbonation, instantly disappearing head. Moderate sourness, also moderate tartness, associated with the blackcurrant. The berry itself defines most of the character, this does not even feel like a beer any more, mostly a full-frontal blackcurrant juice with alcohol. Simple, straightforward. Drinkable, good, but I am bored by beers like this.

Bottle via Beermalade tasting. Thin body, med-high carbonation. Med-high sourness, mostly lacto, with light lactic funk. Slightly tart even. Otherwise mostly defined by the blueberry, nice natural fruity flavour. Not much else going on, but an very easy drinking and refreshing summer piece.

Bottle via Beermalade tasting. One of the few bruts, that actually fit my idea of what it is supposed to be based on the guidelines. Very thin body, does not strike me as watery though. Med-high carbonation. Very low sweetness, med-high bitterness. Medium hops character intensity - citrusy, piney, zesty. Light spicy and winey notes, with a touch of sour-like character, hops derived though, not really sour. Light yeastiness. Easy drinking, quite good.

Bottle from brewery. Amber color with medium white head. Aroma of malt, caramel. Taste, caramel, light burned sugar bitterness, malt, very light hps. More on sweet side than I like. I would lower caramel for increasing of drinkability. Still refreshing,
