UPDATED: MAY 12, 2020 650mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out tart fruits, a bit of wood, and bready caramel. Flavour is surely unintentionally sour, with acetic notes, tart red fruits, and a touch of wood. This is clearly infected and shouldn’t be sold (thanks Ferris).

UPDATED: DEC 22, 2019 Dirty brown color, green apples, cherries, oak in the nose. Light body, alcohol well hidden. Dry, but lacks depth, but decent

UPDATED: AUG 5, 2019 A bit disappointing for me, which is the Brett in it, that removes some of the smoothness to it, still, a very good and complex beer. A must try.

UPDATED: JUN 8, 2019 Tasty sour beer with lots of complexity. a different take on a medium sour beer. Not bourbony or woody, but different. bottle from nickel brook

UPDATED: APR 1, 2019 2017 vintage. 500 ml bottle. A bit of a gusher. Pours a deep brown with moderate head. Aromas of vinous wood and wet malts. Flavors follow same with red wine vinegar and sweeter malts Can't get much bourbon. Disappointing.

UPDATED: MAR 23, 2019 2017 bottle from Legacy. Ruddy brown colour, with a fairly thick head. Has a deep, woody nose with an underlying cherry-like fruit note, and vinous depths, with chocolate accents. Familiar, yet different. Tart up front, with sweeter fruit notes, tannins, and then a touch of bourbon. Complex, a bit of an 'all over the place vibe', yet it's not incoherent. Just a lot of stuff going on. Like 25% easy-drinker and 75% sipper.

UPDATED: FEB 9, 2019 Bouteille, édition 2017. Robe rouge foncée et moyennement trouble surmontée d'un col de mousse blanchâtre et rocailleux. Arômes de baies et leurs tanins, figue, vin rouge fruité, caramel, quelques levures sauvages cuirées, subtil bourbon boisé, épices légères (muscade, bâton de cannelle...). En bouche, beaucoup de baies rouges, levures sauvages à la fois fruitées et épicées, encore cet aspect vineux qui assèche un peu le palais. La suite est boisée, un peu houblonnée et citronnée avec un goût de bourbon qui se pointe à la fin et offre un peu de caramel grillés, vanille et alcool. Texture un peu légère et vineuse, séché à la fin, corps mince moyen. Intéressant, très fruité et le vieillissement en barrique de Bourbon est un beau complément sans être trop mis de l'avant. Manque un peu de complexité et d'onctuosité par contre.

UPDATED: SEP 22, 2018 Really dark amber/copper colour. Aroma is bourbon, molasses, spice, and vanilla. Taste is moderately sour with fruit, caramel, and raisin.

UPDATED: JUL 19, 2018 Bottled. The label is saying 2017. Wax sealed. Hazy amber brown color. Beige head, vanished quickly. Aroma of figs, red wine, fruits, sweet and sour. Taste mirrors the aroma. Taste starts sour, becomes dry and fruity. Alcohol hidden. Dry, bitter and sour finish. Balanced. Red wine aftertaste. Overall very nice!

[10260-20180317] 330mL bottle. Fruity candied plum aroma. Hazy, dark brown body with a quick foamy off-white head. Fruity dark plum flavour. Medium-full body. Good. (7/3/7/3/14) 3.4
