On tap. Pours dark brown with little head. Thin Porter like beer with a bit of nuttiness. Otherwise nothing to write home about

473mL can, pours black with a large beige head. Aroma has some faint toasted hazelnuts, crusty bread, and a little cocoa. Flavour is rather metallic, with very subdued toasted hazelnuts, metallic overtones, and dry cocoa powder. Thin body that's too metallic and lacking any sort of depth. I was hoping for a (much) lighter version of Gold Foil, but this is a lifeless shell of that that's too metallic. Not very impressive.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
It pours like cola, and it has a compact, beige head. Mild aroma of dark malt and cardboard. Thin, dry, roasty, metallic, ashes and cigarette butts, no hazelnuts.
I guess they went for this one without a pilot batch, this is nothing like it was promised; it's drinkable, but the metallic notes sink this one a bit further down.

Can from the Gull. Medium brown. Not much head. Husky sort of aroma, light chocolate and stale coffee grounds. On the palate, it's thin, off-dry. The roasty notes are a bit better on the palate than they are on the nose - cleaner coffee, and more rounded chocolate. Not really getting that hazelnut. These sorts of stouts - dry but not bitter - just come across burnt and thin to me. Not my thing.
