Bottle: Poured a hazy dirty beige color ale with a small foamy head with low retention and no lacing. Aroma of lightly sweet notes with some faint wheat malt also notifiable. Taste is lighter then anticipated with some light wheat notes with a sweet honey finish. Body is quite full with limited filtration and low carbonation. Not the most exciting beer from this brewery with lacking ester and complexity.

Almost black. No real head. This beer has a meaty, cheesy richness like the counter at Oyama Sausage in the Granville Island market. I probably should have used a Halifax reference, I know. There’s a gorgeous dark fruit note with a nice nutty malt accent. It’s a shade thinner than I’d like in the body but the dark fruits and sweet malts are very nice. It’s got a nice, fairly bright character, but the aroma promised more richness and in that respect I felt a little let down.

A deep dark stout with a super thick dark moka head, resilient. Aroma of chocolate, plums, light vinous notes, with ashen quality. In mouth, a rich black coffee and bitter chocolate, with notes of licorice and soy. Rich and warming, with good alcohol burned. A very nice offering. Bottle from Probstk, more than one year old.

Thanks to JoeMcphee - my notes are a bit limited on this, but I need all the Canada ratings I can get - aroma of skunky european hoppiness, with this malt and floral notes - the flavor is quite gentle and subdued, with notes of honey and wildflower - a kind of stale hop flavor (I noted "fuggles," but perhaps not) - buttery in the finish - meh.
