Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Black colour. Quite roasty but still balanced, some dark chocolate, salt, roasted nuts, mild smoke, and some alcohol feeling.
Very good.

Smoked dark sweet notes. Jet dark brown with small slight brown head. Sweet and sticky with some smoke. Solid.

16 oz. can, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out some smoke, light cinnamon, caramel, and graham cracker. Flavour is somewhat smoky but very soft, with caramel, cocoa, cinnamon and graham cracker. Smoky palate, with no harshness whatsoever. Very tasty.

Dark brown. This is a bit thin, but has a touch of chocolate and a touch of vanilla. Arguably I'd like a bit more sugar. There's some things in here that are okay, but definitely some aspects that don't get it done. Need more sweetness, I keep coming back to that.
