Poured from the tap @ Tinhouse. Clear copper gold with small white head. Biscuit malt, pine hops, aroma is a bit subdued, simple, no issues with it.

750 ml bottle. Pours a thick black color with short tan head. Aromas of oak, soy sauce, molasses, sour mash, and slick roasted malts. Flavors of roasted malts, dark powdery chocolate and vanilla. Interesting, though not what I would expect from bourbon barrels. May be a bit of a souring effect.

Tasting at Matt's, bottle
Black colour, with tan head. Aroma of dark malts, vanilla, wood. High carbonated, the body I a bit thin, possible additional fermentation, because it may have a mild Brett character; a lot of roasted malts, and roasted malt bitterness. It's ok, but not my kind.

Hazy bright blond colour, white head. The aroma is a bit spicy. Good body; weird combination of spicy yeast, residual sweetness, and weird barrels, that come across more like rum than bourbon. It's ok.

750ml shared with Phill and the gang @ Matt's new place. Appearance: a bit hazy golden with a white head. Aroma: apples, some wood, crispy, some acidity. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: it's not good, unfortunately

Pours clear gold with white foamy head. Aroma is muted bourbon, candied malts, some orange, and herbs. Flavour has some very muted barnyard flavours; sweet backbone with bourbon flavours. Weirdly harsh. Bourbon flavours don't really mesh well with the saison. Not great.

750mL bottle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out cheap bourbon barrels and some rustic saison yeast. Flavour has rounded bourbon barrels, toasted caramel, and toasted bready malt. This is a total mess. Even for a bourbon BA saison -- which is a shitty idea -- this doesn't work well.

Pours black. Aroma has crusty malts, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Flavour has good dark toasted malts and bourbon notes with an underlying sweet malt. Flavour is really nice, needs a bit of aging for the bourbon flavours to blend with the rest. Nice carbonation.
