Bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear amber with a half finger of white head. aroma is sweet with honey and a decent floral hop aroma. Taste is fruity with vanilla and oak and some sweet honey. medium bodied with a slick texture. Lively, almost fizzy carbonation and a very long finish. Overall, I’m really liking this one. Not sure where the barrel flavor comes from, but I’m digging this.

On tap at Fountainhead. Pours a clear amber with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a bit of honey with sweet grains and a hint of sweet fruit. Flavor has a slightly boozy honey with a bit of light fruit and flora. Drinkable but not complex.

bottle - Pours clear, deep golden with a huge, fizzy white head. It smells of honey and cereal malt. The flavor is sweet honey and bready malt with a little alcohol noticeable. It’s medium bodied and bubbly. Interesting brew.

Beautiful amber color; high carbonation, nice thin perlage, big frothy head. The aroma immediately shows some sourness, confirmed by the flavor; the body is now thin, there is light caramel and very light liquorice, maybe a byproduct of the undesired fermentation. The bottle is not fresh, almost 2 years old, and it hasn’t kept up gracefully.

Bottled. Clear deep golden, ultra-brief head. The faintest hint of coffee up front. Sweet and understandably honeyish with rounded mouthfeel. Restrained grain, floral flavours, some vanilla jions in. Balsamic finish without bitterness. Nicely warming and without edges, but I ge tthe feeling this beer is just made out of curiousity. Except from the mere fact that this is a rare style it fails to interest me much, and it has limited function as a thirst quencher. So I’ll play ignorant and downrate it.
