On tap at Independence, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out elegant bourbon barrels, vanilla and caramel - complex as hell. Flavour is loaded with bourbon barrels, light vanilla, and caramel. Fair amount of booze, but it's not abrasive. Wonderful bourbon barrel character transforms this beer into a whole new entity. Fantastic.

Flavour is similar, with lots of raisins, red fruits, light yeast and esters. Nothing close to a biere de garde, but it's a fun red fruity ale of some sort. Good stuff.

On tap at Independent, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with cucumber skins upfront, followed by lacto. Flavour is likewise a cucumber skin bomb, being totally dominated by the cucumber. A little bit of lacto underneath. Crisp and highly drinkable. Excellent.
