Special release. An intense, multi-layered and palatable ale blend; Imperial Stout aged in Heaven Hill Bourbon barrels give us sweet notes of vanilla and oak, while Barley Wine aged in The Macallan barrels showcase notes of ripe berries, toffee and hints of whisky. Aged to perfection and blended by our Barrel Master. Drink now, or cellar for years to come.

Bottle shared thanks to kermis. Very dark brown with lasting deep beige head. Funky Brett, sweet brown sugar, soft smoke, blackberries, vanilla, whisky, crackers, old wood, sweet caramel. Lots of bourbon and whisky,some nice sweet stout but also a lot of dank Brett funk. Quite sweet, medium bitter. Almost full bodied.

Black with a tan head. Aroma of brett, oak, bourbon, chocolate, vanilla and caramel. Flavour is heavy sweet. Full bodied with soft carbonation. Clearly infected, shame.

Bottle from The Gull, North Vancouver, Vintage 2018, bb 11042023, batch 245
Dark brown colour, near black. Weird aroma, some Brett, Indian restaurant, roasted malt. Good body, moderate sweetness, it has good chocolate flavour, and very light sourness. It's probably infected, but still quasi-enjoyable now.

330ml @ Alex's. Appearance: dark brown with a tan head. Aroma: oh well, it smells sour, so it's definitely infected, some roasted malt notes too. Taste: still sweet, but it's definitely tastes sour dark malts. Overall: infected, but it did not become disgusting yet, however, I am sure that in another couple of years it will.
