David is drinking an Omen - Dark Strong by Omen Brewing
Bottle
Bright and raisiny. Drinks very easy for an 8.6%. Enjoyable as a one off but not something I would actively seek in this style of beer.

David is drinking a Tenebrous by Deep Dark Wood Brewing Company
Bottle
Cellared this for a year and a half after being given it. It’s mellowed out from when I had it last time. Syrupy currant aroma with a dry but not vinegary flavour. Short finish but quite refreshing.

David is drinking a Thor's Hammer (2014) by Red Racer
Bottle
Toffee, raisins and very smooth. Chose way too big of a glass as I didn’t realize it was a barley wine. Not too shabby.
David is drinking an A Study of Lactic Acid Bacterial Flavour Expression As Seen Through Historical Beer Styles; a.k.a. the Transformative Properties of Wild Fermentations On Oak by Trial & Ale Brewing Company
Bottle
A little funky, tart but gradually changes to a grape/stone fruit sweetness. The 9.1 abv is not noticeable here. A very tasty experiment that I will have to get more of and age for a year or so.

Dry, tart, floral and oaky. Slightly bitter but rose hips will do that and I’m ok with that.
