Spilt a bit from the can at opening. Dark brown colour with not much highlights, a bubbly mocha-coloured head, average retention and a dirty film coating on the glass. Nice coffee and chocolate nose at first pour, but after breathing, these do calm down, and the base of roasted malt appears. I even get hints of banana, so wheat in here? This continues in the taste with the chocolate, fudge richness, but some tarty-coffee bitterness does cut the sweetness, and the hops creates a decent dryness in the end. Not bad, starts off real nice, but seems like the good stuff just disappear rather quickly, and vanilla is hard to sense.

Lightly haze, bright light golden-yellow colour with a big frothy white head, good stay and some foamy-creamy lacing left. Witbier aromas with the orange peel and coriander spices. These are milder in the taste, with maybe some oats sweetening, and light hop dryness in the finish. Feels like a lighter beer than it is. A nice refreshing, lighter-feeling witbier.

Hazy golden-yellow colour with a big frothy white head, good retention and foamy streaks of lacing. Clementines as the citrus aromas with the nice fruitiness, light sweetness, blended with the oats and hints of herbal notes. The taste is also not too bitter with citrus zest, peel, but some fruity-juiciness and just a touch of dryness. Some particles drop to the bottom at last pour. A very refreshing, juicy, fruity Double IPA with well-hidden honey.

Mango juice looking, not as thick as the beer base thins it out. The mango and apricot blends well in the aromas. The fruits calm down in the taste with the sourness blending in. Light tarty mouthfeel. Not bad, but must be a fan of apricots.

Now called Tart Blackberry. Looks like pink grapefruit juice with a big, creamy white head, a tint of pink, good retention and a coat stays on top of the brew. Fresh berry aromas with the sourness and soft hints of vanilla. The mouthfeel is puckering sour with some nice mild tart and fairly dry-thin in the finish. The blackberries are well-blended in the taste. Quite the sourness in this one, but really drinkable.
