On tap at The Beer Masons - Koh Samui, pours a dark copper amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of whiskey notes, sour notes, and some balsamic. Flavour is complex, with lots of balsamic, pleasant stone fruity tartness and some whiskey barrel presence. Rather acetic on the finish, but it's certainly manageable. Nice stuff, though they want about $17 CAD for a glass of this, so I'm rating a sample.
