A hazed blonde ale with a lacing white head. A strange fruity malt with boiled veggies, so-so. In mouth, a sweet spiced fruity malt with grassy hops, decent.

Very well done. I’m a big,Belgian fan and this is done per spec. Great florals in initial aroma with good dose of coriander and even a light hint of Brett. Pours cloudy orange with great lacing and good head. Finish is soft and flowery sweet like kissing perfumed panties. Smell is just as nice. Tap at volos.

(on cask at BarHop, Toronto, Feb 19 2013) Poured clear, very dark brown with a small, fine dark tan head. Aroma toasty oak, bourbon, dark malt - very barrel forward. Flavour again leads toasty oak barrel and bourbon with toffee sweetness from the malt, some chocolate, vanilla, again heavy on the barrel and whisky character. Finishes with slight sweetness and little bitterness from roast. Carbonation very light even for a cask, mouthfeel is quite light for the style. Booze comes through more as the beer breathes despite the room-temp pour. The lack of big roast in the malts and the lighter mouthfeel are shared with the Pinot Noir version but this barrel adds more toastiness. Quite good bourbon stout, but could use a bit more oomph.
