Spicy estery yeast with pale malt, coriander, fruits, notes of calvados and a little alcohol. Fairly sweet with low bitterness, mildly boozy. The calvados barrel works well with the base Tripel, after tasty cognac and calvados BAs I'd like more, please.

Grainy malt with soft hops, caramel, some citrus and pine. Sweetish, relatively malty and restrained. So-so, disappointing as an APA.

Citrussy with lemon, light pale malt, some perfumed notes. Sweetish flavour, mild bitterness. Don't care much for this one, I think it's the combination of a bit sharp lemon, perfume and sweetness.

Dark malt with caramel, dark bread, notes of chocolate and ripe fruits. Sweet but also fairly bitter for a Doppelbock. Solid, I enjoy that touch of chocolate.

Yeasty and herbal with spicy juniper, ripe citrus, notes of stone fruits, herbal and floral hints. More sweet than bitter, but also mildly dry in the finish. Nice one, spicy/herbal and fruity with typical yeast.

Malty with tea, herbal hops, fruits (mostly orange), caramel, light pine. Bittersweetish, not getting many Saison aspects, mostly a herbal tea hop and malt aroma. Modestly fruity, kinda nice, bit disappointing if you expect Saison meets fruity APA.

Roasty with notes of salty liquorice, coffee, some hoppy tones. Lightly chocolate. Roasty hoppy bitterness, light to moderate sweet. Easy Porter, pretty straightforward.

Juicy tropical fruits with orange, lactose, light pale malt and pine, dextrose, tropical notes, mango. Moderate bitter and sweet, pretty soft and pleasant, but no IIPA MOAB bomb.
