Big thanks to Kan for sharing this! Poured a cloudy near black with a brown head that dissipated slowly to the edges. Aroma had dark grain, slight smoke and a strong pine note with a bit of backing dry wine. Flavor started with dark grains which was joined by a pine note with a bit of smoke and dryness coming out in the finish.

Growler at the Funky 6. Pours cloudy gold with a moderate, white head. Lemon zest aroma with notes of Belgian yeast and bready malts. Nice citrus, bread and honey sweetness, with some light earthy bitterness. Light to medium in body with average carbonation. Dry finish, with further lemon and cereal. Very nice. (First rated August 2010, score: 3.8)
Had a bottle on 25 September 2015 and thought it was pretty damn good. Bumping the rating up to 4.0.

Bottle thanks to Paul, shared with others! Pours dark grown with a brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma has a nice combination of smoke, roasted malts and a slight dry wine note, nicely balanced. Flavor begins with roasted malt and becomes slightly smokey with a bit of a dry roasted finish.

Bottle thanks to Paul, shared with others! Pours a dark brown with a brown head that dissipated quickly to the edges. Aroma has a nice combination of smoked meat (ham) with a bourbon note and backing roasted dark grains. Flavor begins with roasted and smokey malts but has a growing bourbon note to help balance out the smokiness.

50cl bottle pours a watery, opaque brown with one ring of tan head. HUGE smokey aroma, bacon, charcoal, wood chips, smelled a little sweeter than the Cab barrel. Flavor is sweet, sugary, a touch smokier than the Cab barrel, bacon, toasted grains, more brown sugar. Full bodied, smokey finish with a touch of booze in the back of the throat. A little more balance, diversity of flavor. Marginally better than the Cab barrel.
