Dark brown. Pours inky. This has a nice chocolatey, rich, slightly nutty character. Rich chocolate on the palate, a touch of alcohol, some nice dark sugars, good balance. The bourbon is decent, a bit hot, but fits with the heavy chocolatey body.

This one doesn't look great. Kind of a purplish/browny kind of thing, quite opaque. Light blueberry on the nose, and on the palate, again the blueberry is fairly light. There's some acetic notes, and that's actually the dominant character. Less refined than the usual Sante.

Dark amber. Thin head. Light caramel, okay body, not much depth or complexity. I get a bit of alcohol in the finish but it sort of clunks over top. Decent bitterness but the malt character really lets this one down.

Amber, slight haze, has a nose of peanuts. Some caramel, toffee sort of notes, decent body, a bit of stickiness, again the peanuts. Where is that coming from? Lots of boozy accents and some sweet, slightly caramelized sugars. Not showing a ton of age, I don't think. I don't hate it, but it's definitely a bit odd.

Slight haze, thick head. The brings a lot of stone fruit, some barrel, and a light wheaty sort of note. Showing a touch of oxidiation but not much for the age.

Dark brown. No head. There is a lot of cardamom on the nose, also a fair amount of vanilla. On the palate, it's a bit lighter on the body, again more vanilla and still cardamom. Does seem like a bit lighter/fizzier than I would have expected.

Dullish yellowy sort of colour, like slightly oxidized apple flesh. Light apple, some bit of tannin. On the palate, fairly dry, with apple skin and oxidation. Slight off-note, I guess that's from bottle refermentation or something?

Dark brown. No head. Lots of coffee on the nose. On the palate, the coffee is rich, the underlying stout is nice, maybe a touch nutty from the roast. A fair bit of alcohol in the finish. For this much coffee, it's pretty well-balanced.

Hazy, dullish pale. Vinous and gueuze nose, lots of complexity. Earthy, soft, sweet, lots of nice grape character and oak tannins. Seems a bit more tart than many of their other beers. But really nice character and complexity to this.
