Draught at MBCC 2018, green session.
Copper-orange body, with a small, yellowish head.
Aroma of moderate smoke, wood, citrus, dried fruits, some vinegar.
Tastes quite similar, with more barrel notes, less smokey.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes medium dry, wooden, fruity, citric, a bit sweet, subtly smokey.
Very nice. A pretty unusual Bière de Garde I guess, but really interesting, with a diverse mix of not too overpowering smoke, fruits and barrel notes. Drinks smooth and balanced, really enjoyable.

Draft at Max's. Just cause you could doesn't mean you should. The sourness is run amok and seems more of a mistake that purposeful. This overshadows any BdG or smoke that the flavor is supposed to have. Still a decent nice smoke on nose but gone in taste. Put this Frankenstein's monster out of its misery.
