On tap at the moose in north bay. Clear dark brown pour, with a tiny white head. Sweet, fake, artificial cocoa aroma, light spice, and sweet butterscotch malts. This isnt totally unpleasant, but whoa is it sweet. I washoping the finish wouldnt reflect the aroma, but its just as sugary and sweet. Not awful but not my bag either.

12oz pour at Biercraft. Pours clear dark amber with white head. Aroma has a ton of vanilla and sweet malts; like cookie dough. Flavour is also dominated by vanilla with sweet bread malts underneath. Objectively, this is an unbalanced vanilla gimmick beer, but for technical qualities aside, this is also a comfort beer.

(Tap) Clear mid brown with small tan head. Chocolate aroma. Medium body, well carbonated. Pleasant and interest taste with a lot going on. There’s chocolate, vanilla and toffee together with some tartness and a hint of smokiness in the finish. Very pleasant.

341ml bottle. Pours a clear red-amber with a medium, creamy, long lasting, beige head that laces. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, vanilla and light spice. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, vanilla and light spice with a mildly dry, bitter finish. Light body with a creamy, smooth, syrupy texture and soft carbonation. Not bad.

This beer is very full bodied and has a strong caramel sweetness. It's a very clear amber with medium carbonation. Quite sweet, not a lot if spice, but all around good xmas beer

Slightly sweet malty lots of toffee and oranges. Not super well balanced, but enjoyable.

Le produit ne sent pratiquement rien. Au goût, c’est plutôt bon (surprenante vanille, chocolat blanc) mais ça s’arrête là... J’ai vraiment eu l’impression de croquer dans 3-4 Maltesers ;-)

Draught. Clear dark caramel with a minimal head. Big chocolate vanilla nose. Flavor is powdered chocolate, vanilla, a little spice. Not bad
