On tap at Propolis, pours a cloudy dark orange with a large white head. Aroma brings out earthy notes, farmhouse rustic yeast, and light floral notes. Flavour is earthy and floral, with a decent earthy rye character, some lightly sweet spiciness, and gentle floral character. Pleasant.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Elizabeth Station. Dense chocolate, coffee brown pour, thin bubble head that fades rather quickly. Really interesting brew all around here. Aroma has notes of licorice, chocolate, some caramel, and a rich indicator. Flavor finds it more bold than rich. Robust background with a cool licorice, chocolate, dark fruit hints, and a touch of root beer in the late palate. Long lingering flavor here, and a nice creaminess and full mouthfeel to this stout. Very intriguing flavor, and an easy one to drink. Totally on board with this unique treat.

375mL bottle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Nose is very buggy, with lots of barnyard funk, rustic saison yeast, gentle tartness, oak, and some lemon rind. Flavour is tart and complex, with rustic saison yeast, lemon rind, oak, and some bugginess. Not really noticing the cognac, but I do get plenty of oak. Buggy, grainy, tart finish. Very interesting and quite enjoyable, but shy of excellent.

Opaque, yellow, big thick head. Some floral notes, herbaceous hops with a bit of citrus accent. Decent body. Mild bitterness. The malts are thick, and there's a bit of wheat acidity as well. The hop aromatics - which aren't a ton to begin with - disappear on the palate. I suppose it's intended as an easy drinker.

500 mL bottle at Kevens. A cloudy, golden yellow pour, thick foam head. Moderately tart, floral notes with some pear linger, light straw grain under the wild character. Cool, smooth and easy drinking. Late reminder of more pear, some white grape, tart mixed fruit, more floral notes. A really unique brew. Fun, tasty brew.

Capped & corked 375 from Bine & Vine. Pours bright coppery gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is slightly tart wine and wood. Med body. Flavor is very woody in a slightly musty way; red wine and something like a fresh kumquat - rind and all. Oh, and it is very tart - verging on sour. My first impression was BFM, but it's only about 10% of one of those very sour ales. It settles the taste buds very quickly, so it's quite a pleasant drink.
