7.9/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Can from Stacks. Hazy ochre, small, white head. Aroma of ripe white grape, melon, pineapple, watermelon, orange popsicle, vague mint & rosemary, chalk, onion, cheese rind. Taste has sweet pineapple, melon & grape in a doughy, almost creamy malt body surrounded by dank sweet onion & cheese, a bit spicy too. Floral hops in the finish, lingering juicy stone fruit, dank onion and warming gin-like alcohol. Medium to full body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Intense and tasty, but just a tad more bitterness would have been welcome.

Can from Gedeelde Vreugde. Hazy dark brown, thin, tan head. Intense peat, apothecary, green apple, stewed plum, dates, dried fig, tobacco, charred wood, bunt brown sugar, whisky. Taste has sweet date, fig & green apple in a toffee-like, brown-sugary malt body covered with notes of peat, green apple and something meaty-umami. Herbal hops in the finish, lingering dried fruits, quite medicinal, touch of wood and boozy peated whisky alcohol. Full body, oily texture, average carbonation. Very rough and intense, but enough complexity to enjoy.

T: sweetish papaya, dough, pepper, bit dank cheese.

Dank & spicy, but no actual hop burn, maintaining that juicy profile. Great!

Can from Gedeelde Vreugde.
A: clear amber, thin, off-white head.
A: dusty old raisin, dried plum, fig, toffee, wood, overripe red grape.
T: sweet grape & blue plum, toffee, bitter tea leaves & wood.

P: medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation.
Complex, but the barrel treatment also adds a musty element which fits the style less.
