This beer has a nice aroma. Quite hoppy, but with some spice underneath. The body is a little thin to back it all and make it great. Central city variety pack

Can: Poured a clear black color ale with a nice brown foamy had with OK retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of light roasted malt with some black chocolate notes. Taste is a mix of black chocolate notes with roasted malt with some hints of smoke. Body is light with good carbonation. OKish but lacks flavours and body is too thin for style.

Part of Across the Nation Collaboration Out West 2018. Pours a darker brown colour with copper highlights, a creamy beige head, good retention and loads of creamy-patchy lacing. Roasted malts for nose with some hints of molasses and smoke. The smokiness is a little stronger in the taste over the burnt malts. A nice dry mouthfeel helps not being syrupy like most of this style. Some good hop bitterness lingers. Best of these collabs done tonight.

Can from the LCBO. Part of the Across the Nation collaboration pack (2018, West). Clear dark mahogany with a small lingering khaki head. Nose is molasses, light smoke, roast nuts and coffee. Light sweet molasses with a medium- dark chocolate and coffee bitterness and smoke through the finish. Medium mouth with soft carbonation. Not much happening here. 6-/3+/6+/3/13-

Okay off-white foam on top of a brown-ruby body. Big amber sweetness aroma, caramel and malt, soft barley, very nice. Flavour is roasted coffee with some sweet toffee hints, and slightly watery mouthfeel. Drinkable and just about okay for a beer like this.

Mooch tasting, can
Brown colour. Aroma of smoke and caramel, light cardboard. Simple Brown Ale base, with strong caramel notes and light residual sweetness, moderate smoke presence, a bit ashy in the finish.
Drinkable.

Medium brown. No head. Slight haze. This is toasty on the nose. Thin body, light smoke, the stout character is actually fairly minimal, just some toasty malts, without complexity. I would say that this is inattention to the base beer, and that undermines the smoke character.
