Dirty and dull, low bitterness and vague hops, mediocre malt, doesn’t hit at all.

Appley, light malt, low bitterness, low hop expression. I guess making fake Lucky had better margins than just selling Lucky?

Pale, a bit dullish, medium head, aroma is obviously Dag with light sauternes, rounded, mellow, solid sauternes, still wish for more of a buggy/botrytis character but this is better than the one last year.

Dark, thick head, rich dark sugars, some bourbon, soft body, good barrel integration on this.

Soft, amber-brown colour, has some caramel-toast, lighy acetic, a bit of wood, fits the style but doesn’t have any standout elements.

Hazy pale, yeasty, lightly sweet, hint of pears. Decent but as usual the brett hasn’t kicked in nearly enough maybe this will be the year I age one of these.

Pale orangey-pink and hazy, light cherry, brett, well balanced, clean mild cherry, touch yeasty. Excellent.

Medium brown, thin head. Looks like a 6% porter tbh. It’s boozy af, that’s the dominant character, with kind of a cocoa powder note. Definitely dry for the style, lacks the sugars I like. It really does come across like that 6% porter with a bunch of random extra booze in it. Unbalanced.
