650 ml bottle, thanks to my boy George for sharing.
Pours a clear dark reddish brown, some orange highlights, medium sized tan head forms and settles down to a medium layer, pretty solid lacing on the glass, looks good.
Smell is nice, big and malty, some caramel and a light nuttiness, raisin, some booze, wood, vanilla, biscuit, a bit of brown sugar, cookies, whiskey, all the flavours are well integrated, nice aroma.
Taste is nice too, very malty, big caramel hit up front, on the sweet side but now cloying, nice bourbon/whiskey notes, vanilla and a touch of oak, lightly nutty, some raisin and brown sugar, a bit of booze, balanced in the finish.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with low to medium carbonation. Pretty nice stuff, much more enjoyable than Serendipity No. 1. Thanks George!

The second in a (very) limited release, that saw those bottles allocated to Edmonton quickly snapped up. Fuck that. Luckily, I made it to Kelowna last month, and to the last store to have any of this in stock, on sunny Lakeshore Drive, with an absolutely frigid beer cooler, and polar opposite hot and friendly beer store proprietress...
This beer pours a hazy dark reddish amber colour, with two fingers of thin creamy beige head, which leaves a wall of fine effervescence residue around the glass as it recedes. There's a wee bit of coarse sediment whirling about as well. It smells of a faint charred woodiness - a bit of pale caramel, and some mild grassiness. The taste is quite a surprise after the anaemic aroma - big caramel/toffee malt, slightly boozy oak woodiness, molasses, vanilla, sesame snaps, and musty, earthy hops. The carbonation is on the lower end of the scale, and the body damned-near full in weight, smooth, and clean. It finishes quite sweet, the bready caramel malt only barely countered by the struggling hops.
A marked improvement over No. 1 in the series, this is one malty, but still very drinkable, barrel-treated ale.
