Bottle from the lcbo. Pours a hazy dark brown, with reddish hues and a small beige head. Aroma is very woody, and earthy, with some dark cherries and light balsamic vinegar. Soft mouth feel, light mouth feel, light carb. Low bitterness, solid tartness, vinegar notes with solid barrel and dark fruit and some funk.

Been sitting on this bottle for a while. Pours a pretty ugly murky dark brown, but really, this isn't a beauty contest. Nose is vanilla and funky grapes. Taste is decently aserbic sour, with grapes, oaky vanilla, mildly sweet malt. The sour isn't overwhelming, and linger with sweet wine notes. Overall nicely done.

Un olfactif complexe et bien malté avec notes de boisé bien défini, de cerises noires et de pruneaux. Son coté acidulé est sobre et laisse les malts s’exprimer. Les sucres sont sous forme de fruits noirs séchés, de mélasse et de chocolat. Sa mousse beige extrêmement effervescente demeure quelques secondes sur le liquide brun aux reflets rougeâtres et d’une limpidité sans tache. L’entrée de bouche se veut vineuse, maltée, effervescente et boisée. Le fruité a des allures de prunes et de cerises noires sur une base bien acidulée. De très douces notes de chocolat en sourdine. Son coté vineux et tanique ressort bien et assure une base solide à la complexité des saveurs. Cette bière n’a rien à envier aux grandes rouges de Flandres Belges. Faudrait comparer à l’aveugle.

Bottle: Poured a dark reddish color ale with a medium size dirty head with limited retention and no lacing. Aroma of vinous notes with lot of oak, some cherry notes with some acidic notes also perceptible. Taste is also a mix of vinous notes with some cherry notes, some acidic notes with tart cherry and oak notes also noticeable. Body is full for style with medium/low carbonation. Not bad but lacking some attenuation with a little bit too much acidity and not sure high ABV is really necessary for this type of beer.

Cork and cage bottle from the LCBO. Pours a hazy, unfiltered copper-amber colour with a light mocha-coloured frothy head, average retention and light, creamy lacing. Sour nose with some well-blended balsamic vinegar and hints of dark fruits. Really, 9% ABV ?? Cannot feel this at all. So smooth, with flavours of again, well-balanced dark vinegars and sour notes. A tad wood to add to the complexity of this one. Another great product from this classy brewery, giving Hill Farmstead a run for their money.
