Poured from 473mL can (back to back with original Fracture). Very dark brown with small beige head. Better than the bourbon barrel (original) version, but still lacklustre. Mild woodiness, mild brandy fruitiness, some astringency. Average.

Dark brown. Thin head. The aroma has a bit of toast, a hint of chocolate. The character here is a bit boozy, and a dash of chocolate, and then there's a light fruitiness character. A bit of brandy in the finish but the base isn't really lending anything here.

16oz @ Matt's new place. Appearance: dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: roasty, grassy, some light sweetness. Taste: along the same lines, harsh. Finishes with a big roasty character and moderate sweetness. Overall: meh.

473mL can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma doesn't really showcase the barrels -- there's sludgy earthiness and toasted malt. Flavour is full of medium roasted malt, a hint of miscellaneous barrel, and sludgy earthiness. Rough and sludgy, with odd barrel notes. I like this slightly better than the Blanton's Fracture, but this is still rather messy.

Dark brown. Thin head. This is really fruity on the nose. On the palate, there's a pretty strong barrel, comes across rough. It's a light base, with a strong, boozy bourbon in the finish. It's not refined, just a bit harsh. Not bad, definitely needs work.

Poured from 473mL can (back to back with Fracture 22Ti). Very dark brown with small tan head. Lots of wood glue, some soy sauce, feint roast, not digging this one.

473mL can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out moderate roasted malt, light bourbon barrels, and a touch of soy sauce. Flavour is very barrel-heavy, with soy sauce, toasted malt, glue, and subtle bourbon. Weak base beer I guess, but how can the Blanton's come through so poorly? Not terrible, but pretty amateur.

16oz @ Matt's new place. Appearance: almost black with a beige head. Aroma: lots of bourbon barrel, but not the good one, kinda grassy one. Taste: along the same lines, lots of grass, roasty. Harsh, abrasive, unbalanced. Overall: not good.

Half wine half beer and all sour! So good. Not surprised it’s from Chile, they’ve got great wine. So why can’t France do great wine/beers like this?!

Poured from 375mL bottle. Hazed dark brown with no head. Mild dark fruit, mild vinous notes, boozy, a little bit thin. Okay. It's not infected at least...
