A mild haze on this deep amber brown beer, small and short lived bubbly pale tan head. A fairly light and smooth palate, all things considered, there is a slight viscosity and a reasonable amount of carbonation for a 17% brew. Smooth and slightly viscous malts, good dark toffee and caramel, neither aspect is at all sweet. Boozy bourbon / whiskey barrel ripe fruits. A fair alcohol spice. A little wet wood oak barrel and a trace of vanilla. A salty vibe. Alcohol spicy finish. Yeah, a big punchy barrel aged barleywine that will last beyond on the point I'm pushing up daisies. It's notably boozy, but at 17% abv, who saw that coming? Robust and drinkable.

Can at the Florenc bus station, as it was forgotten in Gurthnar's backpack until the last moment hahahah. Hazy golden body, white head usually so probably now as well, the body looked correct from what I saw. Citric hoppiness with a solid resinous presence in the aroma. Smoooooth taste, citric notes again, pretty solid resionus-herbal presence, low bitterness - well integrated. Actually very much chuggable from the can, we both enjoyed it a fair bit!
gave a cheers!

Can courtesy of Marko, cheers mate!. Had this Friday 20th February 2026 listening to Huw Stephens on 6Music. We've made Spicy Nduja Cannelloni but we didn't have Nduja left so used Harrisa also couldn't be bothered to make Cannelloni so did Lasagna instead. Good beer, not amazing but solid West Coast vibes, a touch thin, lacks a bit of body, nice bitterness , a background sweetness, just a touch thin, nice buzz on the tongue, light fruity. Score 7.1

Can courtesy of Marko, cheers Marko! Had this after a nice weekend with Jonas, Ursula and Marko, Sunday 15th February 2026. Pours hazy yellow with a large frothy white head, lovely mouthfeel, a touch aggressive but I actually quite like that, actually when I say aggressive I think that assertive would be a better word. For a DIPA at 8.8%, yes the can states 8.8% and not 8.0%, anyway as I was saying it's not flabby, overly sweet or too malty, it has bite, it's bitterness is lengthy and it's even a little dry towards the end, fruity it suggests kumquat not sure about that as I've not had it enough but could be. Super nice. Score 7.6
gave a cheers!

Can. Clear pale golden. Lychee, creamy garlic. Tropical, something, wait, I am supposed to put some music on and am already two beers behind.
Oh yes and boring sticky sweet, forgot.

Can courtesy of Marko, cheers Marko! Had this Saturday 14th February at the Manglham 2nd Winter Tasting listening to PlannintoRock - Beulah Loves Dancing. Pours light gold, almost straw coloured with a clean thin white head. Fresh, crispy and with a nice understated bitterness. Soft mouthfeel, dry finish, solid, actually very good. Score 7.3

Can. Pale hazy golden, white head. Grassy, nice gooseberry, green grapes, medium light sparkly body, subtle hop notes, nice sparkling, grape retronasal. Great beer, put it in a glass, not on the table.

Bottle at Winter Affair 2026. Huge thanks Vojta! Brownish hazy body, off-white head. Smooth, fresh barrely aroma, loads of raisins. Nice! Lean, dry, smooth caramelly taste, the body's nice, but getting old barrel vibes as well, which kinda bring the experience down. Eh...

Bottle at Winter Affair 2026, huge thanks Vojta! Brownish amber body, no head. Oily, bit peaty aroma, raisins and glue. Lean, dry, tart taste, raisins all over the place... will give it another shot, but I didn't love the notes personally.

Tap at WInter Affair 2026. Clear pale yellow-golden body, white head, lookin' good! Citric, sharp juicy hoppy aroma. Lean, dry, smooth taste, floral, light citric notes. Well balanced, sessionable beer, maybe, maybe with slightly less bitterness than I like, but this is an excellent beer!
