Can. Amber colour with a dull haze. The aroma is like this big rye bread chewy oxidized thing. Similar palate. There's a lot of rye. Spicy and fruity, but basically nothing behind it. Just dull malts, oxidation everywhere, and maybe some sloppy alcohol and legitimately shitty bourbon in the finish. But that's it. This just goes nowhere, in this odd combination of boring and sloppy.

Light brown and cloudy, dull and ugly, with almost no head. Heavy bourbon, mellow, lots of vanilla and fudge; sweet and sticky, but not enough malt depth. Strong alcohol.
Ok beer, but over the top.
2019-02-01, draught at St. Augustine's, Vancouver, 7-3-8-3-14=35
Cloudy amber colour, apparently still, with no head. Some aroma of alcohol and bourbon (6.5). Sweet mouthfeel, low carbonation, bready malt flavour, a bit oily, with strong vanilla and cheap bourbon character, quite some alcohol burn too, but it helps balancing the sugars. Low bitterness. The final is weak, short, unemotional.
Bourbon bomb, with no complexity. But it's enjoyable.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out pithy stone fruits, rich caramel, some spicy earthy rye, and bready toffee. Flavour is quite complex, with caramel, earthy rye, and bready toffee. The barrels then accentuate these elements nicely. Well-rounded and clean, which was the opposite of what I expected here. Excellent.
