Tap at MBCC. Az addiciok nem annyira voltak prominensek lenni sem izben sem illatban szvsz, ezt leszamitva egy olajos, suru, kremes es intenziv stout.

Tap at MBCC, day two. Vegre valami izgalmas kombo, nem a szokasos csoki-vanilia tengelyen mozgo tema. Jon a tokos jelleg, szerecsendios, kisse vanilias es borubonos. Azt sajnalom hogy a jugarszirup kevesse erzodik, de ezzel egyutt is fasza meg izgi.

Taster at KEG. Jet black pour with an offwhite head. Nose is intense chocolate, molasses, lots of bourbon, loads of vanilla, pralinee, light coffee. Taste is a lovely sea of chocolate with lots of vanilla and bourbon again, also some notes of wood, spices, coffee and nuts. Nothing new here but the balance is so outstanding that it blew my mind really. Very much my cup of tea.

Can from the LCBO. Pours a murky light orange with a large white head.Up front tropical fruit, thick cereals, slightly bready, with some stone fruit. mouth feel is full, carb is nice. Medium bitterness, stone fruit finish, semi sweet, sticky, a touch boozy. Was expecting more fruit and hops.

Cash days 2016. Listed as Berliner with peaches, vanilla and cinnamon. Pour is a Cloudy orange/yellow, with a medium white head. Aroma. As citrusy, mild wheat and subtle cinnamon, and hints of vanilla. Light stone fruit, hints if herbs. Lots going on, but very subtle at the same time. Watery mouth feel, lively carb.. Finish has next to no bitterness, stone fruit and light spice. Hints of lactic tartness.... Interesting, but nothing special, pretty messy, and all over the place actually.
