Dark brown colour, small beige head. Toasted, sweet vanilla, chocolaty aroma. Light-bodied, even a bit watery for this ABV. Hazelnut, toastyness, vanilla in the flavour. Short finish. Clean but not very exciting.

Can at home. Fucking goddamn gusher again. Minus a fucing lot for that. God dammit. Murky yellow. Insane head. Yeah what'd you expect god dammit. Aroma and flavor are okay, but I'm still mad about the gushing. Gotta admit the beer is okay.

Can at home. Hazy pale orange color, full sized a bit bubbly / soapy white head. Aroma is malts, nicely bitter hops and grainy maltiness coming through. Flavor is malts, a mix of light fruit hops, lightly grassy hops and bitter hops. Well blended together. Quite decent.

American style barleywine from one of Ireland's new generation craft brewers, Stone Barrel in Dublin, active since 2013. Thick and frothy, egg-white, cobweb-lacing, thinning but generally well-retaining head, misty deep reddish-amber-tinged deep glowing orange blonde robe, cloudy with sediment. Aroma of fresh grapefruit peel, dry biscuit, whisky, bitter honey, kumquat, soggy peanuts, dried wormwood leaves, dried peaches, crackers, marmalade, pink peppercorns, some frying onion and black radish flesh notes. Sweet onset, mandarin, dried mango and apricot with a very faint strawberry touch somewhere, yet nowhere overly sweet, in fact less sweet than I expect from a typical barleywine; medium carb, full oily body, but not as vinous as a barleywine ideally tends to be. Biscuity, bit peanutty and rusk-like maltiness, flavoured with very grapefruity, eventually quinine-like, spicy hop bitterness bringing retronasal orange peel, toasted onion and green peppercorn aspects as well as a long-lasting bitterness, piercing through the remnants of that biscuity malt profile - until a whisky-tinged alcohol glow accentuates both the hop bitterness and the malt sweetness. Intended as an American style barleywine, but in a somewhat too 'thin' way, ending up much more like a DIPA or IIPA. If this brew really wants to be a barleywine, it needs to 'fatten up' in the malt department and become more opulent, full and vinous; that said, however, it is indeed a very U.S. style beer, flawlessly executed and very tasty, so I will not take 'truth to style' too much into consideration here - I hugely enjoyed it regardless.

Can. Hazy golden body with a white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of melon and menthol. Flavour of orange and grapefruit. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. Well balanced with a nice hoppy buzz.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - cloudy yellow. Fluffy head. Nose - sweet pineapple and then more particularly lychee. Taste - again sweet tropical such as lychee. Going to say guava too. Palate - creamy and close to medium bodied. Low bitterness on the finish. Overall - would like a bit more bitterness /dryness.
