Bottled. A deep red beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is powerful with notes of fruit and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, fruit, alcohol, and light notes of wood, leading to a dry and bitter finish.

From bottle, blind #32. Pours dark brown to black with a slowly collapsing off-white head. Solid hoppy and light wooden aroma. Light fruity and hoppy aroma. Light bodied. Mild roasted to acidic base flavoured. Bitter and fruity base flavoured. Light acidic and fruity into the far finish. Smooth and fruity hoppy lasting impression.

Bottle: Poured a deep black color ale with a huge foamy head with some great retention and some lacing. Aroma of medium bitter roasted malt mix with some dry bitter hops. Taste also consists of roasted malt with some bitter dry hops which is not the most interesting combination IMO. Body is about average with some great carbonation. Interesting but not necessarily something I would go for regularly.

Reddish brown ale with a thick light moka head. A sweet caramel malt in aroma, with light fresh green hops. In mouth, a roasted torrefied malt with smooth hopping. A mix of porter and IPA. Nice. Bottle from JM in Port Coquitlam, BC. Nov. 3 tasting at Marc’s.

Thanks to Oakes for this one! Pours black with a minimal off-white head. Caramel malt aroma. Roast malt flavor that quickly adds a bitter roast bite in the finish with some assistance from the bittering hops. The sweetness stays underneath the bitter malts the complete time. Not quite a Porter, not quite a Brown Ale. Roasty, bitter, dry, yet smooth and medium bodied. Different and uniquely good brew.

Bottle. Dark chestnut, low creamy brown head. Grass, herbal and piney aroma. Roasted nuttynes overlaid with plenty of hoppy goodness. Slightlly more chewy body than the rest of the Phillips beers I have tried so far. Ends on a bitter dry hop note which lingers on, a hint of bandaid retronasal. Enjoyable stylemix.

Bottled. Clear very dark ruby. Striking lychee aroma. Medium dry with clean mouthfeel. Very hoppy - the lychee and grapefruit flavours seem to last forever. Very bitter finish. Good stuff!
