Description
Temporal Artisan Ales is a brewing project that is crafting delicate oak-aged beers in a shared space at Luppolo Brewing Company in Vancouver, BC. The beers we create are fermented 100% in our oak barrels over lengthy periods of time, imparting delicate complexity. Portions of separate barrels are blended to enhance specific characteristics unique to each barrel. Every beer we release has been meticulously crafted from start to finish.

330mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a tiny tan head. Aroma has plenty of woody barrels, some cognac, plenty of alcohol, and gentle tart cherries. Flavour has some cola, leather, cognac notes, a touch of tart cherries, and lots of wood. Quite hot but has good flavour complexity. Leathery and pretty cognac-y on the finish. Good stuff.

16oz (thx, Ryan!) shared in Porto Cove on Canada Day with Andriy and Kyrylo.
Aroma: weird mix of gin and roasted.
Taste: along the same lines, some sweetness, very botanical.
Overall: weird one, but it's ok.

330mL bottle. Pours murky brown with a very small beige head. Rye, port, raisins, bready malts, toffee on the nose. Flavour has a lot of toffee and raisins, nice presence from the rye and port barrels, lots of dark sugars. Thick, smooth mouthfeel and a warm boozy finish. Maybe a bit cluttered, but quite enjoyable nonetheless.
