Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Clear golden colour, thin white head and aroma of citrus, fruits. Taste is tart and sweetish, orangey, lemon, lime, slightly salty, with some pale malt hints and light bitterness. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, drying sourish citric bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Lots of the tequila barrel makes it out with the raisiny barleywine notes, almost tangy but more fruity than chocolatey.

Thick sweet and sour stonefruit and strawberry flavors, gnarly blend without being too acidic.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear deep brown beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Smooth palate, light, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Mellow smooth dark malts, a mild but pleasant dark chocolate streak. Touch of smoke on the back end. Smooth finish. A pleasant if pretty standard affair. Apples? No apple character here for me. Well maybe a very light niff on the light and semi dry finish. A decent beer but a let down expectation wise after reading the description. Too subtle!
