Draft at Cascade West. Pale golden pour with a frothy white head. Aroma is grainy, malty with a touch of hops. Taste follows with more mildly sweet grains leading up to a crisp finish.

From the Brewvana Advent Beer Calendar. Canned October 13th 2022.

Pours black with a nice head of tan foam, with excellent lacing.

The smell is roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate with overall aromas leaning towards the bitter side.

Taste is coffee, roasted malt, chocolate, bitter but with a wee bit of sweet notes. Pretty darn yummy it is.

Solid medium body that is very smooth.

A really well brewed Stout.

Hazy gold body with white head. Full citrus aroma. Big hoppy taste with a tangerine finish. That should be 80 IBU. That is a typo.

On tap at GoodLife, pours black with a small brown head. Aroma brings out peanut candy, caramel and cocoa. Flavour is sweet and peanuty, with caramel, peanuts, and cocoa. A little too sweet for me but it's a fun candy stout.

On tap at GoodLife, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is loaded with intense bourbon barrels upfront, followed by vanilla, roasted malt and molasses. Flavour is sweet and barrel-dominated, with intense bourbon barrels, light vanilla, big roast, and molasses. Big and almost brutal, but well-done. There are more complex and elegant BA imperial stouts out there but this is super tasty. Excellent, even if a bit rough.

On tap at GoodLife, pours black with an amber tinge and a small light brown head. Aroma is intense, with loads of milk chocolate and treacly cherries upfront, rounded out by the bourbon barrels. Flavour is much the same, with intense chocolate and bourbon upfront, accentuated by the subtlest of cherries. That's some bourbon chocolate cherry liqueur right here. Very tasty.

On tap at GoodLife, pours a clear golden amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out plenty of grape skins and a touch of barrel. Flavour is musty and vinous, with some nice Pinot noir grape skins, champagne-like effervescence and light wood. High carbonation, sort of similar to a champagne. I think I like their Reserve Saison more but this is very nice.
