Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear, nutty brown with a beige head. Slightly nutty aroma with a sweet twist. Medium body, biscuity, toffeeish and nutty with a hint of smoke. Not really sweet though. And next to no bitterness. Pleasant drinking. 310822

500ml bottle bought as part of a delivery from KWM Wines, Kilkeel. Dark brown, almost black with a ring of tan head. Light chocolatey aroma, some whisky and a little touch of liquorice. Sweet taste with a sourish whiskey kickback. More chocolate and salted caramel notes. Smooth yet boozy finish. Thick body, low carbonation. Understated but intensely nice.

500 ml bottle, as Brehon Just Because DIPA, from KWM Wines & Spirits. ABV is 8.5%. Deep golden to copper colour, large white head. Aroma of malts and orange marmalade, some piney notes too. Resinous and distinctly bitter flavour, sweetish notes of caramel or crystal malts, hints of grapefruit and bitter orange marmalade. A typical American West Coast DIPA - from Ireland.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours black, with a very fine, homogeneous cream foam. Aroma is chocolate/cocoa. Body is average, slightly on the thin side, with limited carbonation. Taste is on the roasty bitter side, but more like dark chocolate/cocoa. Final is pretty long, with some induced salivation.

500ml bottle @ Quarry Tasting, July 22. Thanks Jeremy for this. Hazed reddish amber appearance, off-white head. Moist malty fruitcake flavours emerging with a pleasant malt-led sweetness. As per the description it does drink very easy, drank it like a 5% beer, but surprised to see it was 11% as I finished. Pretty good, but perhaps a little thin for a barley wine.

500ml bottle: BB 7th October 2024. The Quarry Tasting on 17th July 2022, split four ways. Maroon hue to the brown body, beige head. Malty, sweet and slightly nutty. Seemed a little 'thin' body wise for an 11% brew but I liked it anyway.

Clear blond colour with thin head. Fruity aroma, also a bit stale like many a kettle sour. The passion fruit is there.
