Thor's Equinox is a Belgian Dark Strong Ale that is big in flavor without the chewy body holding you back from finishing the whole glass. We have stepped back from the emphasis on yeasty phenols to showcase malt and a unique woody note from Angelica spice, creating a beer that is still Belgian, yet can satisfy stout and strong porter lovers as well. Thor's is a beer series that rotates throughout the year with a strong emphasis on strong ales.

Bottle: Dark reddish caramel color with a short lived, fizzy tan head. Really impressed by the aroma... authentic Belgian yeast and esters from Seattle. Quite nice. A heavy breadiness accompanies the yeast and esters in the flavor. Some dark fruits. Feels a little heavy too. Overall quite a pleasant brew. Thanks to the mother-in-law for bringing this over.

Bottle. Pours a deep ruby hue with a medium light beige head. A big sweet nutty and fruity nose. A nice flavor: big spices, some strawberry, dark chocolate, nutmeg, finishes dry. Interesting. A bit warm.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Dark mahogany color, with creamy head. It has a mild aroma of toasted nuts. Smooth mouthfeel, good body strength, strong flavor of dark caramel, with some residual sweetness, and strong bitterness; traces of chocolate and roasted nuts too. They could have extracted more malt flavor; and the yeast gives a dusty impression instead of a classic Belgian spiciness; also, in the final there is some alcohol perception.
Solid but not impressive.

650 ml bottle. Pours almost red with a fine head. Aromas of malt and wood. Light roasted malt flavor with some spiciness and definite wooden barrel notes. A little light overall for a Belgian style ale even with the barrel aging.

#10! Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours very, very dark amber with a slight beige head. Nose has a bit of everything - spice, dark malt, chocolate, cinnamon, maybe anise. It brings Mexican chocolate to mind. Med body. Flavor is dark malt, with contributions of dark fruit, chocolate, anise and spices. Still think there’s cinnamon. It’s complex and interesting. Finishes on the dry side.

Sampled on tap at SIB, pours deep dark red with a medium beige head. Aroma of candied sugar, caramel and dark fruits. Flavour is cloyingly sweet, with a little wood, heaps of caramel and candied sugar. The intense sweetness detracts from what would otherwise be a well-done Belgian-style.
