Clear yellow, white head.
dry slighlty flowery aroma, faint citrus, very mild even for a session IPA, almost more like an european blond ale.
flavor is artificial flower flavor, almost soapy, some fruit peely hop bitterness that clashes with the rest, medium malts with a slightly buttery feel to them.
total fail as i see it as an ipa - they should've called just called it ale, this would not survive a trip to india, probably maybe not even by airplane.

nice hoppy fruitty sweet fruity aroma. bittersweet malty, exotic fruity. meaty. normally i don't fancy this kind of aroma, but this one is in fact quite likely and nice. good job for a bittersweet exotic fruty ale.
flavor is malty, bitter hoppy, west coasty bitter hoppy, sweet malty, almost bitter caramelly. end is lots of bitter hops.

milky yellow with a big smooth creamy good looking white head. looks like a lemon milkshake, but with white head.
strong aromatic hoppy aroma with loads of sweet malts to base it, faint citrussy note.
flavor is a bit over the top exotic fruity, but in a laid back way that almost works. in the end thogh, way to bittersweet imho. a far distance away from the exceptionally awesome aroma .

Clear brown
small brown head that quickly disappears
aroma: well blended soft velvety almost roasted malty note with a bit of boozy notes also. not very woody. malty but more dry nutty malty than roasted malty. is a barley wine so it fits that well. not much coconut, nothing stands out as coconut, but it can be found if you look for it. phenolic boozy hit if i sniff it fast. a abit too rough and boozy i think. Ignoring the boozy sting i do get a very soft and blended and velvety aroma that is complex but very tighly knit.
flavor is surprisingly sweet, notes of wood, roasted malts, chocolate, toasted coconut flakes, no boozy sting at all, salty notes, really good salty licorice, flavor is a whole other level than aroma. i can still sense the stingby booze when i breathe thrugh the nose while tasting - but the flavor is awesome. A bit to the sweet side, but totally complex and well composed and very rounded.
not worth the 999dkk i paid for the can - but i'd do it again if i had never tasted this one before. it is unique and it is made very well indeed. Nearly all other barley wines will pale if taste compared to this.
Edit. now tried the rest of the can after a day in the fridge, so more chilled. Even better. licorice and coconut is stronger. less boozy cold. increasing score.

pretty strange wheaty-herbal slightly salty aroma. can't say it's pleasant.
flavor have aspects of berliner weisse, but also some hay like cardboard like herbal notes that seem way off. quite watery palate, faint sweet cereral and sweet malts. not quenching at all.

hazy almost milky , white smooth head.
very very good hoppy aroma, herbal us west coast hoppy, some smoothness from malts, good flavorful sweet malty balance, low hazy-licorice like note, quite close to exactly how i like my hazy aroma.
flavor is juicy hoppy with exotic fruity notes and sugared grapefruit and a sweet malty ending, very easy drinking and very pleasant to drink, somehow the hops balance the sweetness and makes it quite okay.
does not feel like it's abv is too high, or taking things to an extreme, comes off as balanced and very flavorful

Thick and heavy aroma, dark chocolate, roasted malts, dark chocolate cake, tonga beans, phenolic alc. hit, booze lagered in steel tanks, sniffing this when you have a cold, will probably kill the cold, not the aroma. faint vanilla. faint fresh coconut juice.
poured black with a brown head that soon disappeared
Flavor is really good, clearly better than aroma. salt licorice, roasted malts, dark chocolate cake, do i get a faint hint of bourbon? , alc is not very well sensed except the beer feels like it packs a punch, very solid, full bodied and fairly layered and complex. the bourbon is blended so well in, that it's not the first i notice, but it does its wonders anyway.

pitch dark with a surprisingly dark large dark brown head tht does not last long.
aroma is smokey, caramelly, dark bitter toffee, cheap chocolate dessert fillings, flattish, sweet cheap licorice.. not very good really.
flavor is better. salt licorice, cheap dark filled, chocolate, faint sourish/fruty note, honey. better but not really good.
I understand it's hard to make a NA black beer, but guinness 0.0 is proof it is possible. This one is off imho.
