Miles, Brooklyn tap ($6): Pours amber with a beige head. Aroma is caramel malt, slight amount of Belgian yeast, dark fruitiness. I found this to be way more amber ale with just a little touch of the Belgian ale aspect. It was fine and inoffensive, but far from interesting.

On cask at the stags head. Pours cloudy plum brown with thin head. Aromas of dark fruit and yeast. Tastes of plums, yeast, tobacco, wood, earth, and raisin. Seemed decent but Id like to try again not on cask as the added carbonation may lift this up

Draft at Jimmy 43 with Linh, Caroline and Will. Pours a slightly hazy red body with thin white lacing, foam lasts throughout. Aroma is bitter, harsh malts, belgian yeast, and a weird tobacco flavor. Mouthfeel is somewhat abrasive with notes of smoke, belgian yeast, harsh malts, light fruit. Not one of the better Barriers Ive had the pleasure of trying.
