mabel (7455) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 13, 2014
[6238-20140328] Tap. Sour barrel notes in the aroma. Dark brown red body with a quick foamy white head. Sour red wine barrel flavour has a woody grape aftertaste. Medium-full body. Seems a little young but is interesting. (7/3/8/3/14) 3.5

Ferris (8510) - Burnaby, British Columbia, CANADA - SEP 6, 2014
Bottle - Oak, soured cherry and dark malts. Cloudy brown with a rich light brown head. Raisin, prune, sour cherry and nice barrel notes. Reminds me of.a Flemish Red. Quite well done.

jercraigs (8825) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - APR 17, 2014
2014-03-28. Very dark brown body with a small beige head that fades. 3+ Aroma is fruity and vinous, sweet non deScript malt below that. Flavour is lovely up front, fruity, lightly tangy, sort of vinous. Sweetish malt core but it finishes vinous with a light tangy undercurrent. Smooth average plus to medium bodied palate, modest carbonation could be a touch higher. Quite nice, rich, just a touch too much overall for me right now. Needs just a touch more of something (body? Base malt? Not sure. ) to go from very good to great. On tap at Volo, Toronto

neongolden (852) - Linköping, Sweden/Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - APR 14, 2014
(On tap at the brewpub, Mar 25 2014) Pours a moderately hazy dark orangeish brown with a moderate off white head. Aroma is fairly sour and brett heavy with red wine/grape, some wood, faint nutty spice and a little sweet/bready malt. Flavour follows, brett giving a fairly sour/tart character, red wine/port fruit character, woody but barrel character well integrated with malts. There’s a bit of yeasty spice and some bready notes that could well be English malts with a bit of sweetness. Finish is fairly dry, sour/tart, woody, slight hops and lingering booze. Mouthfeel is moderate and slick, low carb, fairly well-disguised alcohol. Interesting, wouldn’t call it an old ale without knowing what it was. Felt a little Flemish but it was a nice complex barrel sour.

Lubiere (11395) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - APR 12, 2014
A lightly hazed brown reddish ale with a thin mocha head. In aroma, beautiful sour cherry with light fruity notes, bourbon barrel, light cork, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with dark red grapes, light bourbon barrel, licorice notes, alcohol warmth, very nice. On tap at brewery.

mcberko (10105) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - MAR 17, 2014
On tap at Bar Volo, pours an opaque dark amber / mahogany with a small white head. Nose brings out quite a bit of brett, some vinous notes, and some very very subtle English malt notes. Flavour is similar, with notes of brett, light vinous notes, and some bready English notes. Fairly bretty, not really reminiscent of an English ale at all. Quite decent.

blankboy (6667) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 17, 2014
[Draught at the brewpub] Pours a dark amber-brown with a small lasting frothy off-white head. Nice aroma of dark fruit, red wine, light spices, dark malt, some wood, light spices and light sugary sweetness. Fruity flavour, lightly tart and vinous, along with dark malt, light spices and light hops. Medium bodied. Great stuff.
