UPDATED: NOV 11, 2021 Bottle from the local LCBO. Pours a slightly murky coke-brown, with a bare ring. Nose of booze, vanilla, dried fruit. Nice. Taste has sweetness, and a bit of an acidic burn, with citrus, vanilla, a little of that cinnamon (but thankfully not much), booze. There is alot going on here. There is a surprising amount of juicy fruits going on underneath. It's a real mash up, but it works, and works well. I wonder how this would cellar? The acidity would drop? Hmmmm. Might have to try.

UPDATED: DEC 29, 2020 Bottled. 2020. Half hazy brown body, beige head. The aroma has bourbon, cherry. The taste has oak and nuts with sour Cherry and a good tobacco finish.

UPDATED: NOV 23, 2020 Bouteille datée du 29/04/2020, bue après 7 mois. Robe acajou claire et surmontée d'un mince col de mousse beige et rocailleux. Arômes de petits fruits, caramel boisé, pruneau, léger cacao, vanille, malt légèrement torréfié. En bouche, framboise et cerise noire, cacao et goût de bourbon doux. Ensuite, mélange de chêne et café brun, balsamique, quelques traces de houblons qui deviennent plus amers, noyau de cerise, muscade, noix de Grenoble, vin rouge boisé. Texture vineuse, un peu sèche et astringente à la fin, corps mince à moyen. C'est bien, belle présence des levures sauvages, fruité et épicé, goût boisé qui vient atténuer le tout mais le côté bourbon est plutôt effacé considérant le vieillissement de 2 ans. La première gorgée était surprenante mais la qualité de l'assemblage baisse un peu par la suite.

UPDATED: OCT 1, 2020 Bottle - 500ml. Hazy, dark brown body with a thin, lasting, beige frothy head. Good malty/hoppy aroma with Bourbon, oaky, and yeasty hints. Its robust malty/hoppy taste carries Bourbon, oaky, fruity, and some spicy notes. Ends with a long, warming, bittersweet finish. Good stuff.

UPDATED: SEP 15, 2020 500 ml bottle. Pours a reddish brown with moderate head. Aromas of sour mash, muddled fruit, and doughy malts. Flavors of sourdough, greenish oak, and sour old fruit. OK, but doesn't meet expectations.

UPDATED: AUG 20, 2020 Part of the LCBO 2019 Autumn Beer Program, shared with my nephew, a nice and strong BBA old ale, never enough.

UPDATED: AUG 14, 2020 Bière cuivre avec divers fruit confits et un herbacé et caramélisé bonne bière . .

UPDATED: AUG 4, 2020 500mL bottled, pours a dirty dark brown with a small beige head. Nose is funky... yep, that’s infected. There’s lots of brett that seems to have found its way here. Ugh. Flavour is tart and funky, with lots of brett funk, some sourness and wood. Totally fucked up. Sad.

UPDATED: JUL 14, 2020 Interesting beer. Aromas of funk and herbs and molasses. Tastes like it smells. Funky, a bit sour. Beautifully aged as there is zero alcohol presence for this big beer.
