375mL bottle, pours a hazy, muddled amber with a small white head. Aroma is pretty ordinary, with toasted bready malt and very mellow port barrel presence. Flavour is dry, with toasted bready malt, no real notice of the port barrels, nor really any malt depth. There’s nothing wrong with it, but there’s also nothing really right with it. Pretty disappointing for Blind Enthusiasm.

Magnum at Barrel Fest 2025, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of barnyard funk, dry wood, some dry-hopping, and light leather. Flavour is wonderfully cohesive, with complex barnyard funk, big woodiness, and gentle dry-hopping on top. Great funk character and the hops work to lightly accentuate this. Excellent.

Hazy amber, a bit on the dull side in terms of appearance. This one's quite yeasty. Some toasty notes, not a great yeast character. Something not hitting here.

375mL bottle. Pours murky dull gold with a white head. Very gentle dry caramel malts on the nose. Flavour has very weak dry caramel malts, some dry grass, gentle spice. Not a whiff of port to be found. Pretty uninteresting; surprising given the line-up of breweries. Meh.

375mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma has tons of peated whiskey barrels upfront, toasted malt, some earthiness. Flavour is loaded with intense peated whiskey—wow, that’s intense—with a deep toasted bready malt base. The peat whiskey really carries this, accentuation what is probably a solid malt base already. I’m digging this but you really have to love peat.

Magnum pour at Barrel Fest 2025. Pours murky pale gold with a white head. Aroma has musty old blankets, some old citrus. Flavour has musty old wood, a bit of mildew. Not the most complex of their spontaneous blend but still excellent.
