3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
2013-03-09. Lightly hazy dark orange body with a nice beige head. 3++ Pretty interesting aroma - Lovely orange citrus, peach, woody lightly funky barrel notes. Wood starts to take over later. 7++ Flavour is similar, fruity citrusy flavour up front, modest wood grows, lingering bitterness in the finish and aftertaste. 7++ Smooth average plus palate. 3+ Much better than expected!

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Aroma is faintly reminiscent of wine, pear, slight tang. Very hazy appearance, can barely see through it, light brown. Quickly dissipating head. Nice taste, pear again, lightly sweet, kind of boozy tasting but isn’t disturbing. Not much hop bitterness in the finish, spicy notes. Medium carbonation, kind of thin/watery body. Interesting beer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
750ml bottle from the LCBO.
Hazy amber pour small white head. Light woody aroma, soft citrus, some apples and pear. The mouth feel is a tad thin, and the carb is very soft. The cognac adds a bit in the finish as thebeer warms. There is some slight boozy sweetness. There are very light otes of oak. The barrel ageing is thin, and subtle.
