Draft at Schützenkeller Annafest Forcheim Friday 31st July in the company of Jonas and Ursula. Difficult to be certain of the colour but suspect slightly darker with a large white head, toffee and caramel in abundance, soft mouthfeel, very easy drinking. Score: 7.3

Can picked up from Craftbeershop Parchim and consumed at home sat on the balcony, it's a glorious evening, Thursday 30th July 2026 listening to a random selection of music including the new albums by Luke Haines and Robyn Hitchcock. Pours deep reddish brown, there was a head but it's now gone and I didn't note colour or size. Yes even more hoppiness and sweetness, burnt caramel, there's even a little bit of chocolate here but with a bitterness. This is a fab' big Barley Wine and not a million miles from a Bigfoot 🫈 just needs to be even more bitter. Score: 7.6

Bottle picked up from Craftbeershop Parchim and consumed at home Monday 27th July 2026 in the company of Mum and Keith, we're listening to Four Tet - Three. We have Meatballs with Orzo and Feta for tea. Pours hazy yellow/gold, with a large white head. Spiciness, soft mouthfeel, some sweetness, a little vanilla, this is very nice, drinks very easy for an 8.5% beer. Score: 7.4

Can picked up from Craftbeershop Parchim and consumed at home Monday 27th July 2026 in the company of Mum and Keith, we're now sat in the living room. Had this Sunday 2th July 2026. We had Indian Summer Lamb Traybake for tea. Pours gold almost but not completely clear, white head mid sized. Nice aroma, predominantly citrus but there's a little pine resin and something else which I cannot identify, the flavour following a similar trajectory. Lovely bitterness, nice crispness and it's a bit dry, bitterness builds, this is lovely a solid West Coast IPA. Score: 7.9

Bottle picked up from Globus hypermarket Ceské Budêjovice and consumed at home Monday 27th July 2026 in the company of Mum and Keith, we're listening to LCD Soundsystem, not sure what album as Loz was in charge of the music and preparing tonight's tea, Spicy Meatballs with Orzo and Feta. Pours gold, almost clear, large white head. A touch thin, clean, light fruity, it's okay but not really doing it for me. Score: 6.0
