On tap at Irish Caskival at YBC. Aroma is dark fruits and roasted malt. Taste is slighlty sour, dark fruits, roasted malt. Burnt malt aftertaste. Good.

On cask at Yaletown, pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma brings out lots of bourbon and coffee upfront. Flavour is rather abrasive, with notes of bourbon upfront - not barrels, just straight bourbon - with secondary notes of coffee and cocoa. Not especially harmonious, just a haphazard attempt at amping up a base beer. Decent.

If this is the same as what served at Central City’s Winter Cask festival: On tap. Pours a very dark brown with light foamy head. Aromas of light bourbon and brown sugar. Flavors of watery grainy bourbon and sweet malts.

"Casks for Kwantlen" event, at BRB, Richmond
Black color with generous tan head. The bourbon is delicate, more evident in the aroma; the mouthfeel is smooth, and more coffee appears. Clean, very pleasant.
