On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out a shitload of juniper berries from the gin upfront, followed by moderate bourbon, some booze and sourness. Flavour brings out lots of boozy gin upfront, followed by harsh bourbon and weird astringent sourness. Seems really messy, but is quite fun to drink. Not exactly well-constructed, but it's decent.

Tap at SBWF2014. Deep ruby color, small white head. Aroma has bourbon, tartness and caramel. Medium-bodied. Fruity maltyness, berrirs, bourbon and tartness in the flavor. Odd.

Draught@SBWF2014. Ambery/pale coppery colour with a small white head. Aroma is glue, some alcohol, barrel and mild cookies as well as cinnamon to it as well. Flavour is gingerbready, some alcohol, nice wooden notes as well as some slight sweet bready and toffeeish notes. Very tasty and drinkable, after getting over the first aroma/flavour shock.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver, 14oz
Cloudy dark amber color with small head. This beer has a sharp vinous character, not the typical Saison profile; the bourbon/gin barrel aging adds a boozy touch, dish product, rosemary; more gin than bourbon anyway; it has a moderate sourness. It also has a very light yeasty/footy impression.
Quite pedestrian (if you get the pun).
