hazy orange colour, large, dense ecru head;aroma of orange, mango, lemongrass, some pineapple, slight piney and biscuity notes; well balanced bittersweet taste with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; good IPA Re-tasted in Aug 2020: well, it's much less intensive in its aroma and taste and has some rotten vegetable notes; original rating (8/4/7/4/15: 3.8) changed

Bottle, many thanks anstei! Dark brown color with beige head. Aroma is chocolate, tobacco, indeed a touch cherries. Taste is tobacco, leather, cherries, very balanced and drinkable, albeit not too complex. Velvety mouthfeel with fine-bubbled carbonation. Good one!

Bottle. Pours unclear brownish amber. Aroma is wine barrels, funk, grapes, little bit of ASBC. Body is medium, straight and clean, wine barrel. Quite elegant. Smooth, low carbonation. Vinegary, but not a lot. Gentle, or as gentle as 10% ABV can be. Very good!

Bottle. Pours darkest brown. Aroma is low cherry, some red fruit, mostly burnt malts. Body is heavy, also quite burnt, basically no cherry, some smoke. Sweetish. A bit plain and generic. Good.

Bottle shared at Craft CG - thanks to the Tipple. It pours hazy pink / rose with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, tangy, juicy, red grape, cranberry, vinous, oily and just a touch of vanilla. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, vinous, cranberry, raspberry, winey, oak, sherbet, twist of lemon - lime and some red currant with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Fruity, tangy and rather fun.
