Oakes Profile - Brewver

Dark brown. There's a lot of coffee on the nose. A little bit of the coconut showing up in there as well. Fairly thick, and much more coconut on the palate. Less coffee - it comes across as more balanced. Overall, it's sweet, flavourful and balanced. Not the legend the first batch was, but still very good beer.

Winesap (2024) from Floodland Brewing

7.6/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Pale, hazy. On the nose, a fair amount of apple. On the palate, has a sweet honey-apple character, with mild and vaguely buggy saison underneath. A touch yeasty, but that bright and sweet apple note is pretty cool.

Vermillion - Barrel Aged (2022) from Perennial Artisan Ales

7.8/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8

Dark brown. No head. Looks a bit flat and muddy. The aroma has some nice vanilla, but also quite a bit of fruitiness in there, some dark malts. The fruitiness is great - dried fruit, lots of alcohol, wood, and vanilla. Great complexity - a bit flat but otherwise this is coming together really well.

Oude Pêche Jaune à l'Ancienne (2022-2023) from Gueuzerie Tilquin

Peachy colour, but lively. No head, though. Nice peach aroma, some juicy fruit and leathery brett notes. Tart, lean, nice sweet peach character on top of that. Balanced, nice fruit character. A bit more acidic, which I guess is normal for peach.

Dark brown. Rich. Big nose, very good bourbon. Big body, lots of sweet malt, and a fair amount of bourbon. This has a sweet slightly meaty character.

Hazy, thin head. Some haze. The aroma is floral, a bit hoppy, and a bit honeyish. The palate has a moderate acidity, again the honeyish, floral notes, decent bitterness. Well-balanced. Quite good.

7.5/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Dark brown. This has a bourbony, fruity aroma. On the palate, there's fruity depths, with a nice spicy note, lots of char. It's lightish for the style but also got a lot of complexity. It's intense, lots of dark malts and a massive barrel.
