Sample at the Roost. Thin watery black, beige head. Nose is OK, toast and roast, all malts, light cake. Flavor is chewy with malt and toasted bread. Thin though and feels forgotten. Dry finish with some lurking acid.

Pours hazy dark orange amber into a tulip. White head with excellent retention recedes leaving sheet lacing. Herbal hibiscus and rose hip aromas. Medium bodied with sweet clove, bubblegum and hibiscus upfront turning to orange and rose before the lasting earthy bark finish.

Cask Days 2018. Poured a reddish/purple, with a small pink head. Aroma is soft berries, strawberries in particular, with some tart juice, and light lactic notes. The barrel adds some light vinous notes, hints of vinegar, tart turn to sour at the end with a round, almost sweet tang of raspberry in the end.

Bottle from the lcbo online store. Bottle GUSHED and I lost about 2/3 of the bottle. Once the explosion was cleaned up, and my glass was 1/4 full it was a cloudy yellow, with a HUGE white head. Aroma is loaded with great funky notes, and malted wheat and funky, lemony grasses. Crisp and clean mouth feel, perfect carb. Peppery and funky, light barnyard aroma. Medium bitterness, prickly and peppery, grassy.... Just an incredible example of the style. I wish I actually had a full bottle.

Dark brown pour, soft reddish hues and a thick creamy, sticky beige head. Aroma is sour cherries, dark fruit, light vinegar, and loads of vinous notes. Mouth feel is nice, carb is perfect. Finish is quite tart, loads of tannic red wine notes, dark fruit, malt and red wine vinegar. Oak is present at the end, soft earthiness, hints og spice linger with strong sour, and vinegary fruit.
