750ml bottle from the brewery. Jet black, big brown head. Huge, intense Aroma. Giant roasty notes. Loads of sweet barrel, and vanilla with some sherry. Coffee, and bitter cocoa come through also. Hints of soy, and some sweet, dark cherries. Impressive...... Oily, sticky, thick, viscous mouth feel. Coats my glass like old motor oil. Medium bitterness. Finish is sweet, and slightly roasty with hints of charcoal, and smoke. Barrel takes over, and mingles with the roast, and coffee. End with a strong barrel, woody sweetness with a big Bourbon note. Quite nice. Anxious to see what some age does to my other bottle.

750ml corked and caged bottle from the brewery. Cloudy reddish brown pour, with a big beige head. Aroma is tart cherries with some light pie crust and floral flowery aromas. The base beer seems to have a decent malt bill and it’s coming though in some bready sweetness that honestly does not lend itself very well to the tart cherries. The barrel is earthy and adds some light wood, and brings out a little booze. The finish is semi sweet and subtly tart with more cherry juice and earthy barrel with hints of vanilla. Not what I was expecting at all. The base beer and barrel throw this for a loop for sure. A good one though....

Lemon grass, lemon and lime zest, light wheat, and pale malts. Incredibly drinkable, exceptional session ale.

Can from the brewery.
Slightly hazy orange pour, with a huge, sticky, pillowy white head. Huge pine resin aroma, sticky, pungent resins. Light citrus, and citrus zest, fresh sticky hop cones. Oily mouth feel, soft carb. Sweet sticky malts balance the big hop bill. A well balanced old school double ipa. Great stuff, a touch heavy though.

Tap at sawdust.
Hazy yellow pour, with a small white head. Aroma has some nice piney hop aromas, with good cereals. Low to medium bitterness, with a subtle pine resin finish. A nice alternative to a labatt 50, or molson ex.

Tap at sawdust. Hazy slightly beige pour, with slightly redish hue, and a big off white head. The aroma has soft cherry, with grassy undertones, and some light citrus. Lively carb, effervescent mouth feel. Sweet cherry pie finish with some soft grass. Quite nice.

Hazy yellow pour, big frothy white head. Quite grassy, with some herbal notes. I’m picking up sage, and subtle cedar with some pine resin. Very soft mouth feel, and soft carb. Finish is medium bitter with some light funk notes and some lightly tart cereals, with some malted wheat. Hints of citrus zest and white pepper. Interesting, complex, and refreshing.

Can from the lcbo. Clear brown pour, medium beige head. Aroma is incredibly sweet, lots of vanilla, and super sweet, sticky caramels. Mouth feel is thinner than youd expect from the aroma. Finish is cloying, and just a vanilla, caramel bomb. Not my bag.

Tap at Barhop and cans from the brewery. Spicy hops, with some pine and citrus rind. Flavour is big on lemon oil, and a soft pine finish. Medium bitterness. Good malts, we’ll balanced.

On tap at the brewery. Black pour, tiny, white head. Aroma is a boat load of hazel nuts and all around nuttiness. Some cocoa comes through, but it’s subtle, with hints of vanilla. Watery, thin mouthfeel, with a below average carb. Finish is surprisingly not sweet, light bitterness, satisfying nuttiness, and some dry cocoa, and roasted malts.
