On tap at R & B, pours a clear copper with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out plenty of coffee upfront, with little else to speak of. Flavour is coffee-centric, but also has a decent bitter hop punch, with a crisp biscuity malt punch. Crisp and coffee-forward. Nothing special but it's pleasant enough.

On tap at R & B, pours a mahogany-tinged dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is full of artificial hazelnut extract and vanilla extract — wow, that is extract-heavy. Flavour is like I'm drinking vanilla extract, along with cocoa and a touch of coffee. Artificial as hell and does not really seem like beer. Ridiculous nonsense.

On tap at R & B, pours a fairy clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out esters from the Belgian yeast, candi sugar, and some crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is on the estery and sweet side—so, unlike an authentic Belgian golden—with candi sugar and floral notes. Too estery and too much residual sweetness without any complexity from the yeast. Not very good.

Poured from the tap. Medium dark brown with beige head. Definitely getting that maraschino cherry with slight astringency and a hint of lactose and feint coffee… and apparently it has almond (unadvertised on the menu), but a synthetic extract… so that’s apparently okay for a nut allergy? Whatever… underwhelming, only had a couple sips.

Poured from the tap. Clear yellow gold with small white head. Bland coffee underlay, vague hints of citrus, boring.

Poured from the tap. Clear blonde gold with small white head. Mild coffee permeated throughout with a light, grassy lager base. Uninteresting, but inoffensive.

Poured from the tap. Slightly hazy gold with white head. Old style IPA, caramel malt, light citrus and grass hops, touch of cardboard, and overall just really timid and bland.

Poured from the tap. Cloudy yellow with small white head. Tons of lacto, generic tropical notes. Disappointing.

Poured from the tap. Clear-ish gold with small white head. Esters, wheat, and light citrus. Meh.

Poured from the tap. Fairly hazy gold with white head. Citrus hops and stone fruit, slightly malty. Fine.
