330mL bottle, pours a hazy rusted amber with a small white head. Aroma is dominated by the celery-like gin barrels, with subdued dark fruits and bready malt. Flavour is quite tart, with tart red fruits, intense gin barrels, and celery. Tart, botanical-like, and red fruitiness. This doesn't work at all IMO.

330mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma reveals a nice whiskey barrel expression, gentle smokiness, medium roast, and a little iodine. Flavour reveals a nice interplay between the smoke and whiskey barrel, light iodine, and medium roast. There's also a bit of tartness on the finish that seems like it shouldn't be there. Nice barrel presence and decent base beer, but could be improved.
