I saw a number of these when I stopped in a few weeks ago. I almost bought some. Almost. The comments here support my thoughts at the time they they sounded like attempts at barrel aged beers that became infected. Who intentionally makes a sour wine barrel aged coffee stout? As far as the regular beer lineup was concerned they were proficient I thought.

The clue is they aren’t barrel aged. Didn’t try them, but heard the brown was the best of the bunch.

I thought I saw labels for a couple of them said they were aged in some Okanagan valley wine barrels.

Saw some today and there is at least three of them at Willow Park. Hadn’t seen your post at that time but didn’t notice Okanagan Valley wine barrels on the labels. Sure someone will correct and there are bottles of at 3 of them at Willow Park.
