Last 3 Oz of the keg at Ascension. Pours a pitch black with a half finger of beige head that lasts. Fresh baked brownies, almond, hazelnut and warming alcohol on the nose. Cinnamon shines on the palate with more chocolate and creamy hazelnut mid-palate. Relatively smooth for the abv. Light vanilla then a punch of cinnamon that lingers. Everything in its right place.

More of the same on the palate with tart sumomo, berry and jam. Lingering tartness with some light wheat graininess.

Draft at Ascension. Pours a hazy, juicy straw gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates. Dank pine, papaya and mango skin and a touch of green on the nose. Juicy palate with some more dank, arugula and green hops on the finish. Some hop burn now but should mellow out.

Draft at Ascension. Pours a deep ruby color with small off-white head that lingers. Lovely blackcurrant and redcurrant forward nose with some light muscat and cinnamon aromas. Barbe Rouge has such crazy aromatics. Smooth on the palate with the currant notes really showing. Tart redcurrant, citrus zest, muscat notes all linger. Very good.

Draft at Ascension. Pours a mostly clear gold with a finger of foam that dissipates. Lovely brett forward nose with grass, citrus and oak aromas. Smooth and creamy oak vanilla notes on the palate with more citrus that lingers to the finish.
