Nice amber body, okay bright beige head on top. Aroma is cream and malt. Flavour is a very soft maltiness with a dry bready finish. Mild indeed, but highly drinkable.

650mL bottle, pours dark brown / black with a medium beige / tan head. Aroma of cola, sweet caramel malts and raisins. Flavour of sweet caramel / roasted malts, raisins, slight [holiday] spice notes, and cola - slightly bitter hoppy finish. Quite nice - enjoyed more than the average.

650mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Purely espresso on the nose. Flavour is not as bold, with espresso still being really the only flavour, but watered down a bit. Not bad.

Deep brown,thin tan head. Great nose of brown sugar and coffee. Palate is watery espresso. Nose promises more than flavor delivers

Sampled at GCBF 2010. Cloudy neon red. Raspberry, not tart at all - more like a juice. Medium body, mellow mouthfeel. Not unpleasant, not particulary interesting either.

Bottled. A hazy deep red beer with a tan head. The aroma has notes of malt, hops, grass, pine needles, and grapefruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and alcohol as well as strong notes of hops lending it notes of lemon, grapefruits, and pine needles, and a dry and bitter finish. The body is light.

Bottle at Rangoli, pours clear bronze. Aroma of some caramel, cinnamon and dough. Flavour is underwhelming - subtle notes of raisins and caramel malts, with a citrus finish. Not too good.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Hazy blond color; creamy head, nice lace. Wet paper and cereals aroma and flavor, light sweetener sweetness, a bit skunky; strong bitterness. Rather bad.

Cask gravity at Dix, Vancouver, as R&B Espresso and Vanilla Stout, 5% ABV
Black color, beige ring of bubbles. Without surprise, there is coffee aroma: mild, freshly brewed American coffee, spicy. Lean body, coffeish flavor, fresh, dry, with a moderate presence of ashes, and light chili peppers. The final is quite dry and roasted. Balanced. No vanilla, and this is good news. Good.
