Prune and dark fruit. Deep dark brown with a small white head. Prune and some ginger cookie notes. Lots of graham cracker. Pleasant, but odd for the style.

Chestnut, tan head..Tart, funky and woody. More of a sour than anything

Smells of brett yeast and red grain but doesn't seem coordinated properly. Has a mellow dark brown body with minimal foam. Flavour is heavy meaty malt with strong brett yeast and hints of biscuit. Mouthfeel is good but needs to be better tailored to this flavour profile. This is all a bit of a mess, it needs work and the yeast is hindering rather than helping the flavour.

Medium brown, mostly bright. Lots of brett and definitely more of a dark sour/wild, quite American, oaky, relatively light bodied. .

Taster. Appearance: hazy copper with a white head. Aroma: some dark fruits, vegetables, roasted malt, caramel, nail polisher. Taste: similar. Overall: meh, one more strange barrel aged beer from Strathcona, unfortunately :-/

Draught at the brewery
Hazy dark amber to brown colour, small head. Fruity aroma, some of that is the cognac, spirit. Good body strength, just moderately sweet; dark sugar and bread flavour, the acetic is a bit too high; quite strong cognac character, also nice elements from the Brett; a bit earthy and nutty in the finish. Burning alcohol.
Not very elegant, and with minor flaws (acetic), but very interesting for Strathcona.

On tap at Strathcona, pours a cloudy dark red with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of wood, with some Belgian yeast and a toasted bready toffee. Flavour is loaded with barrel character, with tons of wood, a little whiskey, lots of alcohol, and followed by caramel malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with heaps of wood and alcohol, with boozy whiskey, Belgian yeast, and caramel malt. So much barrel but fittingly so. Very good.
