750mL bottle. Pours murky brown with a foamy beige head. Dark currants, burnt caramel, oak, and healthy dose of red wine barrel on the nose. Flavour has dried dark berries, caramelized sugars, dry woody barrels, red wine. Only moderately sour. Nice complexity and barrels well-incorporated into the beer.

Bottle: Poured a reddish/amber color ale with a large off-white foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of oak, cherry and tart notes is nice and enjoyable. Taste is a mix of sour notes with some strong oak and cherry notes, subtle residual sugar with light acidity also detected. Body is pretty full for style with good carbonation. Enjoyable Flanders red but not sure why ABV need to be so high as it doesn’t bring anything more.

Strong aroma, I could smell it from a distance after poured. Very malt and flavourful, the abv comes through a lot. But maintains a medium body with medium-high sourness. Bottle from sobeys
