Taster at the Parallel 49. Leftovers from the barleywine festival that took place 10 days ago. Pours an almost black with a tan head. Aroma is bourbon and chocolate, very nice. Taste is surprisingly sweet and sour with lots of fruity, bourbon and some boozy notes. Hm, kind of disappointed - the view and aroma is so good, but taste... Come on guys, you definitely could perform better brewing this.

On tap. Pours a dark brown with moderate head. Aromas of brown sugar, caramel malts, dark fruit and oak. Flavors of green oak, sweet caramel, and sweet raisins. Almost vinous. A little long on the oak - off balance...

St Augs. Light straw-amber. Thin head. The malts kick off kind of a vague biscuit note. Low bitterness, diacetyl on the palate...toasted butter. Not oppressive but definitely noticed.

650ml bottle at Slack. "Vintage" 2017. 90 cases batch. Aged for 18 months in chardonnay barrel chips. Aroma is funky, some sweet wine and barrel notes. Taste is moderately sour, ascorbic, fruity, woody, winey, some chocolate notes. Quite nice.

Draught @ St. Augustines. Dark brown, medium head. Quite a bit of coffee and chocolate on the nose. Tart, thin. Ok maybe some chocolate but this has gone sour. Shame - the nose had so much promise.

Dark brown, thin head. Earthy aroma, light chocolate. Tart, with just a touch of fruity dark sugars. So the tartness is a bit odd, more than I would prefer, but it’s a fun attempt. If you’re going to left field, you need to have fun, and I think this does.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Black color with brown head. Good aroma of roasted malts. The mouthfeel is too weak, there is some roasted malt flavor, but acidulated to the point of being unpleasant; no evidence of beets, thanks god.
Subpar Stout.

Bottle - Roasty, caramel and some plain drip coffee. Dirty brown with a small beige head. Sour, light toast and toast with an odd finish. Not right.
