Dark amber-brown, no head. This is interesting. The aroma has a fair bit of toastiness, light fruitiness, some alcohol. This doesn't have a lot of bitterness, but it's certainly got a fair bit of malt, alcohol. The malt is toasty, but also has some old ale type oiliness, dried hops, raisins, some marmaladey accents. Light tartness in the finish as well. Described as barley wine, but it's an old ale for me.

Thick and inky appearance, no head. Holy shit the amaro is pretty prominent here...I get more in the cinnamon direction, nocino. On the palate, that's there, but so in the barley wine, with its big malt character, and light fruitiness. No carbonation, and that gives it a somewhat oily texture. But with nice sweetness. I'm thinking I'd prefer a blend that was more towards the fresh barley wine, but it's not bad. Again, a bit of walnut character. Unusual.

Amber, bright, pours basically flat with no head. The aroma has a funky mushroomy type of character, sweet acetic, with a bit of vinous note. On the palate, about the same. Tart, vinous, but odd, definitely something in the mushroomy direction, like they have a kombucha plant next door. I don't know what to make of this, but it's not entirely effective.

Dullish pale, some haze. Aroma is peppery, estery, with a sweet lychee pale malt. On the palate, off-dry, yeasty, with pear, lychee, and again that peppery yeast accent. Well-balanced. Solid tripel.

Dark brown. Thin head. Has a light blackberry aroma with a touch of leafy hop. The malts have a touch of sweetness, with a medium bitterness. With a hit of that leafy hop character. It's good, maybe not the hoppiest, but happy to have it.

Dark brown. No head. The aroma has some chocolate, that sort of fudgey thing Third Moon does with the slightly husky malts. On the palate, it's okay, medium body, some residual sugars but drier than I'd prefer. Mostly chocolatey. A touch of lactose lends sweetness to the finish. It's okay, but

Medium brown colour. There's a cardboard accent on this, maybe some roast but you really do have to look for it. On the palate, it's got a sharp sourness. Have you ever had carrot juice with a squeeze of lemon? That's the vibe I'm getting. In other words, not an imperial stout, like really not what they were trying to brew.

Grassy, slightly oniony hop aroma, pale body, no head. On the palate, it's got a nicer hop character, with blueberry accents, lots of bitterness, clean pale malt. Good balance. Solid - the chinook and columbus are doing the work here, with the mosaic maybe coming through a little bit, though for me that's not a good thing.
