500ml bottle. Hazy, orangey golden colour with average, frothy, rapidly diminishing, white head. Bretty, funky, dusty yeasty and fruity aroma, notes of overripe, fermenting yellow stone fruit, peach, nectarine, mirabelle, weak lactic background, woody overtones. Taste is initially sour, lactic, later more and more fruity, notes of peach, unripe peach, hints of sauerkraut. Too sour, unbalanced, slightly disguised, surpressed and/or mutated fruitiness.

Pours deep amber with a small tan head. It smells sour with caramel malt and oak. It's important to note that this barrel aged brew is one of those that's picked up sourness in the process. The flavor has a sour character with dark fruit and caramel malt. Oak and bourbon are in there though not as strong as I expected for 14 months in the barrel. It's good though personally I prefer a barrel aged wee heavy to not be sour.

Aroma has cocoa and tobacco. Also licorice. Flavour has salmiac, licorice, some ash and tobacco. Too salty for my taste.

Tried on Newcastle trip. Deep amber colour with a thin head. Aroma is caramel. Lots of malt. But slightly thin body.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Medium golden pour, clear, small tight foamy head. Aroma and test taste reflect the maltygrain bill of the beer, bitter bite from the Hops coming in at the tail end. Crisp and clean. Lingering bitterness.

Can @ home shared with Joes. A bit unclear dark orange color, average sized white to off-white head. Smell and taste wheat, sweetish, ginger, herbal / spices a bit. Oh well. Drinkable.
