Bottle - Yeast and raw wood. Cloudy gold with almost no head. Sweet, light smoke and raw wood. Weirdly ok.

Bottle from the brewery. Hazy light amber. Aroma has some barrelly notes, it has picked up some tartness, touch of wheaty, banana accent, too. Light tartness, hint of smoke and banana and a bit of barrely dryness. Brett notes...so if Inperial Grodziskie makes any sense to you, that’s how I would describe it.

Tasting at Matt’s
Hazy light amber color with small frothy head, not persistent. Weird smell, soft cheese, wet socks, mushy banana, maybe bourbon. The mouthfeel is unexpectedly sour; there is some smoke flavor, but the body is too thin, and for 7.5% the booze feeling is too high; add to this also some vegetables, cabbage.
A real mess, very unpleasant.

650mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out the smokiness and JD barrels upfront -- doesn't smell like a hef. Flavour is unusual, with JD barrels, banana, medium smoke, and stale wheat. Why the hell would they barrel age a smoked hef, let alone in shitty JD barrels? An embarrassing testament to where the Vancouver beer scene still is. Really bad.
