On tap at Northpaw, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma is very vinegary, with boozy raisins, some bourbon, and perfume. Flavour is very poor, with perfume, vinegar, intense booze, and burnt brown sugar. How could they make such terrible use of a Woodford Reserve barrel? It's cool that they're attempting to do BA beers and using good bourbon barrels, but they need some serious work to pull this off. Perhap the worst BA beer in BC that I've tried. Terrible.
