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.

Bottle pour at Barrel Fest 2025. Pours hazy pale blonde with a white head. A ton of fruit notes on the nose from the quince; some pepper and dry grass. Flavour has a really nice quince character, some base level of funk that's really nice. This is an excellent quince beer.
