Cask at cask days 2011.
Typical ipa pour, nice amber color, small white head. Great hoppy aroma, some nice citrus, and grapefruit, but there is more os a resinous pine aroma. Nice resinous finish, dry, and bitter, with a great lingering hoppiness.

Quite sweet, over the top corriander and yeasty notes. The malted wheat is over powering and the sweetness turned into an almost buttery flavour. Sweet finish, with light grassyhops. Meh.

Decent cereal nose, a tad overly sweet malts. Not much in way of hops. It lacks a solid grassy hops presence. A touch watery, and soft carbonation. Sweet, malty, grainy finish. Minimal hops. I expected better.

A very nice orange amber color. Aroma is quite subtle, and faint, there is some candied fruit, and caramel, and a touch of english hops, but not much more, it’s quite muted. The flavor is nice! I"m getting some orange peel, candied fruit, sweet malts, and sweet grains, and a nice english hop finish. I really enjoyed this.

750mL bottle. Pours murky brown with a foamy beige head. Dark currants, burnt caramel, oak, and healthy dose of red wine barrel on the nose. Flavour has dried dark berries, caramelized sugars, dry woody barrels, red wine. Only moderately sour. Nice complexity and barrels well-incorporated into the beer.

Hazy medium amber. Thin head. Light rye nose but a bit sweet and maybe phenolic. Different. Earthy, clean taste with slightly chewy, toasty malt character. Served a bit cold to really excite, but it’s ok.

Bottle shared at the Ekstraliga beer share with Grumbo and ITFCDan. Malt, wood, leather, dried fruit, herbal, and yeasty. Follows through nicely, woody and fruity. Very good.

I know they don't call it a malt liquor, but that's my assessment of what they have achieved. Quite pale, medium head, slight chill haze. Light body, bit of pale malt. Hint of apple, alcohol. Malt liquor light, or Canadian mocne.

Light brown, touch of the red from the berry. No head. Oud bruin sort of aroma. Light lactic note, woody, faint balsamic, restrained raspberry. Well done.
