Keg at Mawell’s Plum, Halifax. It pours deep amber-red with a small white head. The nose is soft, sweet, jammy, Victoria sponge, strawberry and fresh summer fruits. The taste is crisp, bitter-sweet, jammy, red berry, candy, toasty cereal, brown bread, metallic lagery notes and caramel with a short, dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Basic red ale. Far from excited me...

Keg at Stillwell, Halifax. It pours clear amber with a decent white head. The nose is bready malt, lemon sherbet, some piney varnish, earthy, barnyard and cereal. The taste is rather bitter, pine needles, varnish, some alcohol hit, green hops/grass, toasty grain, pretty spicy actually and cracker with a dry, peppery finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Good bitterness to it. Decent stuff.

Draft at Red Shoe Pub. Opaque dark brown with a ring of tan foam. Coffee aroma, roasted grain taste, thin body and malt finish. OK but not a standout stout.

A hazed amber ale with a thin light mocha head. In aroma, nice fruity caramel malt with light spruce, floral hops, pleasant. In mouth, a crisp sweet fruity malt with light grassy hops, OK.

On tap at The Maxwells Plum in Halifax Roasty and a bit fruity with hints of light chocolate. Nice enough oatmeal stout but a bit thin and light on the creaminess.

Très bon produit de cette brasserie que je viens de découvrir (cadeau d’un ami)... Excellent équilibre entre la torréfaction et le houblon.

A hazed golden amber ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light grassy hops. In mouth, a crisp biscuit malt with metallic hops, some astringency, so-so.

A hazed reddish amber ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, nutty malt with grassy hops, herbal character. In mouth, biscuit malt with grassy hops, rather watery and with off notes.
