Bottle - Caramel malts and sticky sweet cherry. Cloudy copper brown with a rich beige head. Cocoa and cherry with a touch of chocolate. Light tartness in the finish. This is a very confusing beer that can't seem to decide what it wants to be.

Bottle bought in GIbsons. Bright amber, not much head. The aroma definitely has the spruce. On the palate, soft fruity spruce, vaguely caramelly, biscuity malts, and moderate hop bitterness late. Decent.

Tasting at SF, Vancouver
Dark brown color. Decent beer, moderate acidity, dusty dark malts, raspberries, but I don't believe in the concept of dark beer and berries.

Bottle - Dark sour malts. Deep dark brown with a small light beige head. Raspberry, Soured dark malts and a light finish.

650ml bottle at Brian's office. Pours a very dark brown wiyh a tan head. Aroma is roasted malt with leather notes. Similar taste with raspberries notes. Harsh and not elegant, though. Meh.

Dark brown. Thin head. The aroma is a weird mix of nuttiness, raspberry and husky malts. There's some raspberry on the palate up front, toasty and bitterness. The malts are sweeter on the palate, less huskiness. It's okay, but I would say it doesn't come together all that well.
