Burnside Permafrost is a big strong ale brewed with 7 different malts and copious amounts of Columbia and Amarillo hops pillowed in the middle to give this warming brew a chewy complex malt body and a unique fruity juicy hoppiness throughout. You won’t want to sip this dangerously strong and tasty beer like you should but pound it.

Draught at the Pumphouse, Richmond, BC; sleeve (14oz?)
Hazy Amber color, creamy head. Full bodied beer, moderately sweet, with good malt and caramel flavor, strong bitterness;/some hop resins. But also a strong buttery aroma and flavor. Toffee and fudge.
Something is wrong with this one, although it a not too bad.

Small yellow head, irregular, over hazy darker red-amber beer. Fruity & vegetable nose; "forgotten" vegetables, and the fruit is starting to rot.... Banana(peel), caramel, fusels. Bitter-sweet. Finish is nearly wry, but main taste sweet-fruit, as fruitmash with quinine. Retronasal amandine/rosewater; Very slick to viscous, hopoils, tartness backthroat. Some alcohol present. The nose just isn’t right. Drinking is easier.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a hazy orange amber with a small white head. Aroma bursts with many different elements, including dark fruits, resinous hops, caramel malts and candied sugar. Flavour is very sugary sweet, with lots of resinous hops, caramel malts and lots of residual candied sugar. Despite the intense sweetness, I quite like it. Rather cloying, but it's complex enough to be enjoyable in small amounts. Very good.

Clear deep amber, good creamy creme colored head, mostly lasting, light lacing. Rich aroma of roasted malt, caramel, brown sugar, raisins, dates, spicy, later quite some liquorice and alcohol while roastiness continues. Surprisingly smooth mouthfeel, taste light heavy sweet and medium malt bitter, milk chocolate, roasted malt, spicy notes. Full body, creamy texture, average carbonation, aftertaste bittersweet, dark chocolate, hopbitter and roasty till the finish, alcohol. A beer like a meal, something to savour slowly, though perhaps a bit one sided tastewise overall very good
