Bottle pour at FHF 2024, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of juicy plums, gentle pear, and rustic saison yeast, with a touch of oak. Flavour is juicy, being dominated by plums upfront, followed by oak, and a hint of pear skins. A bit acidic, but there's some nice fruitiness. Decent but needs some refinement.

Bottle pour at FHF 2024, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out rustic saison yeast, some bugginess, and toasted grain. Flavour is dry, with rustic saison yeast, lots of toasted grains, maybe a touch of THP. Dry, rustic and grainy; not particularly complex but dry and well-made.

Bottle pour at FHF 2024, pours a cloudy dark red with a small white head. Aroma has some strange cherry character and a strange curry spice-like character — odd. Flavour is better than it smells, with lots of bright cherry pie, a hint of baking spices, and gentle wild yeast. Lots of cherry pie and baking spices. Pretty good.

Dark brown, toffee, light chocolate and a boozy bourbon note. Somewhat thin base, light acidity, with decent bourbon character. Guessing this is a “if you have one, drink it now” type of proposition. This one is funny - at first it comes across as refined but then it feels more chaotic and unbalanced as it goes. I wish this one came together a bit more.

330 ml bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown with very light head. Aromas of deep dark sugars, raisins and other dark fruit, apple brandy, graham wafers and caramel malts. Flavors of apple brandy, charred oak, raisins, dry caramel, candi sugar and toasted malts. ABV leading and slightly distracting though was off to a great start. Still a quad? Maybe a bit in the flavor though barrel aging has overshadowed the base. Still very tasty…

Dark brown with a couple of bubbles. Cherry, vinous, lots of deep malt sugars and fruitiness. There’s interesting depth here. Big body on the base, but chaotic barrel character. I mean it’s good barrel character but definitely chaotic. Ultimately I think the treatment makes this.

330 ml bottle.Pours a very dark brown with short fizzy tan head. Aromas of amburana barrel, vanilla, oaky bourbon, chocolate nougat, graham crackers and slick roasted malts. Flavors follow same but with additional rich coffee. A really nice balance between the barrels. Excellent.
