Description
A blurry picture of a sweet little farmhouse popped up on their computer screen. They smiled. A few short weeks later Melanie and Jeremy White were standing at the bottom of a curving drive, somewhat stunned to realise they had just bought over 100 acres of pristine Cape Breton farmland. Perched on a southern slope facing the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Bras D'Or Lake, a hopyard was planted, and the land was certified organic. Water naturally rich in minerals was perfect for brewing. Construction began.
Ten years later, Big Spruce Brewing is focused on creating exceptional ingredient-driven beer. All of our ales and lagers are brewed with organic grain & hops, and we continually strive to keep giving you the perfect pint, every time.

Tasting at Matt's; vintage 2018
Violent gusher. Dark brown colour. Very strong earthy smell and flavour, some sourness; after that, there is a thin dark malt beer, and can't feel the rum.
Infected, not good.

Opening the bottle shows signs of infection, but it's not gushing like the Nicaraguan Rum bottle. Black colour. The aroma is mild, but it's earthy, and possibly sour. It still has some decent Imperial Stout flavour, but the mild infection is increasing the roasty and earthy notes.
Not as bad as the other version, but not great either.
