Quite pale. The aroma is like weak apple juice. Light, kind of like fermented apple skins, not so much cider, let alone ice cider.

Quite pale and with a slight haze. The aroma is soapy, lots of ginger but there's something else in there, and that's the part I'm not vibing off of. On the palate, same thing. Some ginger, and some of... diacetyl? There's something else for sure. I'd want more ginger to make this work. And residual sugar, of course.

Pale, slight haze. Light floral notes from the honey. Some floral notes, but it's thin, and there's some odd cleaner-type phenols in there. The rhubarb lends its usual sourness and accent, but there's not a lot else. You'd want more residual sugar all round, but especially to balance out the rhubarb.

Dark red. Thin head. This has a big chewy aroma but the orangey, piney hop notes come through clearly. It's fairly bitter, with a bright crystal malt, orangey notes, and a clean pine. This is solid, well-balanced, and retains bright character rather than chewy.

Quite dark, just short of being stout dark. Inky. This has some booziness on the nose, with a good coconut character, and some figs and toffee. On the palate, the barley wine has really nice depth. It's quite fruity, lots of dates. A fruitcake character has me thinking orange peel. The coconut comes into the finish, blending fruity depths with a light chocolate and some tannic, alcoholic dryness from the barrel.

Quite pale. Has a slightly woody, vaguely floral aroma. Similar palate, but with a mild hop character and a light bitterness. Very light. Slight effervescence. This is a strange one because it's so light, and the vague hop doesn't necessarily do anything here.

Pale, some haze. No head. There's a lot of brett on the nose, a touch musty. Has a fairly clean brett character, especially C but some other bugs, too. Some malt still, too, which is nice to see. It's held up fairly well.

Quite black. Pours thick and inky. This has a rich molasses aroma, light rum. On the palate, it's really rich, some burnt accents, dates, and some good dark sugars. A bit of chocolate, a touch of alcohol, and the rum just lends a little accent. This is very good. Very rich, with lots of complexity.
