Dark brown pour topped by a tight-laced head. The nose is a little bit fruity. Some plum and cocoa with a bit of earthy, wet tobacco herbaceousness. Chewy and a bit rich with some nice roast and a touch of tartness on the back. There is a fairly complex malt profile and a little bit of lingering dark fruit. Cooked raisin, leather and a touch of plum and some soft char. Really delicious brew. I barely get the barrel character but it’s a rock solid strong ale.

blankboy (6667) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 22, 2015
[Draught at Volo] Pours a very dark brown, almost black, with a spare lasting tan head. Aroma of dark fruit, chocolate, some light sweetness, light hops and some wood. Really nice flavour, it follows the aroma along with a bit of alcohol. Moderate bitter finish. Medium bodied. Great stuff.

Helsdon (310) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 17, 2015
Coke brown and opaque with tan head. Malty nostalgia of caramel, molasses, and a little bourbon. Big malt taste too. Roasted caramel, booze, bourbon, dried figs. Nice.

On tap at Bar Volo. Dark brown, an old ale with much cognac character. Very good drinkable and enjoyable.

2015-06-22. Dark mahogany brown body with a small tan head. 3++ Aroma is interesting, sort of vinous fruit, toasty malt accents. Very dry finish, lightly alcoholic. Long aftertaste. Flavour is similar, toasty malt, fruit, and vinous touches. Average plus bodied palate, soft carbonation. Decent but I think I’d enjoy it more on a different day. On tap at Volo, Toronto.
