Poured from the tap. Dark brown with beige head. Sweet espresso flavour with mild lacto. Mild chocolate and roast malt, nice blend, a little more flavour would push this over the top.

355 ml bottle on Octobe r3, 2017, at Beerbelly Tavern (Gushan District) 啤酒肚餐庁文忠店.Clear dark brown to black color, light brown fizzy head with lacing. Malty, sweet, roasted, some caramel scent. Coffee, roasted, dry, grainy taste. Dry, bitter, a tad sweet aftertaste. Medium mouthfeel, perhaps with a little too high CO2 for what I'd like. Medium high bitterness enhanced some by the dry finish.8/4/7/3/14=3.6

So how many craft brewers are there in B.C. anyways? And why are there several more every time I get back to Vancouver? Is this a part of the economic action plan, to have a brewer in every small town? The results are uneven, and I wonder how many of these brewers will even exist five years from now; and I can’t guarantee that my efforts to purchase their products will keep them afloat in an incredibly crowded market. Nonetheless this beer pours with an okay dark brown-black body and modest head, ehuminating an aroma that best resembles iced coffee. The flavour is kind of a mixed sweetness that is iced coffee once you have dumped a packet of sugar into it. So, this beer really defies description but can best be described as cold alcoholized coffee - which might work on some teenaged hipsters in the Fraser valley but since I’m not one of them, it merely gains a "meh" from me.

Bottle - Dark coffee roast and malts. Deep jet brown with a decent beige head. Coffee roast and pretty thin. Like cold coffee, decent but nothing special.

Light brown. Mellow roast coffee nose. Thin, bit sugary. The coffee craps out a bit on the palate, but it is the lack of malt structure that hurts this beer. Had it next to NoLi Wake and Grind, which is a more complete example.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is all espresso - very pleasant with not much else. Flavour is surprisingly sweet for an espresso stout, bringing out a mix of espresso and caramel sweetness. Not overly sophisticated, but this is compellingly enjoyable to me. Very nice one.

Draught at Big River, Richmond; 16oz
Almost black color with small head. Aroma of coffee and coffee grounds. Soft mouthfeel, almost week; some roasted malt flavor, some lactose hence sweetish, and low bitterness.
Not fully convincing, below F&W standards.
