18.7 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with no head. Dry phenolic and acetone aroma. Wooden and phenolic to acetone dry flavoured. Distinct malty note. Fruity and acetone flavoured finish. This is getting closer to salad vinegar than beer.

( 187ml bottle, 14% abv version ) Pours a clear golden body with a spare white head. Strong aroma of paint thinner, light fruity notes, and rubbing alcohol. Flavor of cheap watered down whisky, caramel, blackberries, raspberries, vinegar, and light funkiness. Hot!

Tap at the Bistro BA Fest. Pours amber with no head. Aroma is oaky funk. Medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is oaky/funky. Really so. It is so mildly, decently soury, funky. And wonderfully oaky/woody.

Tasted on tap at the Bistro Barrel Aged Beer Festival on 11/15/2008. This barleywine/wheatwine pours a medium orange gold color from the tap. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is strange to say the least, I mostly got acetone and diesel, then some funk and must. A medium bodied barleywine/wheatwine. The malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are earthy. Kind of funky and musty, but the acetone aroma is not in the flavor. The palate is strange, kind of thin with an alcohol after bite. Not sure I can get past the aroma on this one. Mouthfeel is thin. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is tart with and alcohol bite.

Draft. Slightly hazy amber beer with an off-white head. Boozy, wheat, and malt aroma. Boozy, wheat flavor with white wine fruitiness. Medium-plus bodied. Wheat, yeast, white wine linger with alcohol.
