Panda thanks to Cloin. A light haze on this amber beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Smooth and semi dry palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth malts, fairly dry, a little caramel and cream. Some Belgian like esters. Mild alcohol spice on the semi dry finish. I do appreciate breweries attempting a straight barleywine, you don't see that many these days. That said, this has no malt depth and if I'd been given this blind I would have likely said it was a quad.

Deep, murky red with a tan head. Big malty profile, toasted, caramel, followed by citrus and pine. Finish has more malt and a bitter bite. Medium to full body. Solid.

Orange with a fizzy white head. Has a sweet citrus profile over a pale malt backbone. Not really a lot going on here. Medium bodied. Finish is the same. Nothing wrong with this but very pedestrian.

Black with a light beige head. Sweet berries, a bit of earth, dark sugars, roasted malt, a bit sour. Medium bodied. Finish is dry. I always want more rum influence on these rum aged beers. Sure, I pick up some notes of dark sugars and that could be from the rum but there is so much more to rum than that yet the stout seems to lack it. It’s a tasty beer, no doubt. But I wanted rum in this stout.

Black with a tan head. Dry coffee, roasted malts, some burnt malt, plenty of licorice, cocoa, a bit of earth. Medium bodied. Finish is very dry with cocoa bitterness and licorice. The licorice brings a touch of sweetness to balance this otherwise rather dry stout. It’s a fine beer.
