Good muddy brown body and modest foam. Chewy sweet biscuit on the nose, slightly syrupy. Flavour is like a caramel mousse, really smooth and yet light with hints of biscuit and vague custard notes. Finish is mostly dry, okay carbonation. This one's enjoyable, rich and refreshing.

Draft - Some roast and toast. Jet Amber with a decent small white head. Toast and some light roast with a nice light finish. This is very much a shwartz beer.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Hazy dark amber color, with creamy head. The aroma is mild, caramel, a bit dusty. The caramel flavor provides a rather dry mouthfeel, also because of some roasted malt, and a moderate yeast touch, that at least makes it taste more real; roasted nuts in the bitter final. Average.

Draught, Cafe Deux Soleils
Bright amber colour. Aroma is light - fruity, toasty, caramelly. Fairly light, mild, vaguely caramelly flavour with smokey, metallic undertones. Brian’s beers always walk that line between being tasty session beers and being a shade too bland. This one is the latter, unfortunately.
