650mL bottle, pours brings out lots of lacto upfront, followed by floral dry hopping and some citrus. Flavour is bizarre and clashing, with a floral, earthy hop character, followed by lacto, and some herbal, pot-like notes. Doesn't really come together well. Pot-like, floral notes finish this. Okay.

Bottle from High Point, Vancouver
Cloudy golden color. Pungent aroma, animal, sweaty scrotum, spicy rye, dry corn cobs, manure, resiny hops; you guessed right: very nice! Dry but soft mouthfeel; the spicy character of the rye is evident, and luckily not as earthy as in other beers; it’s complemented very well by the resiny hops, with hints of candied orange and not much other fruits. Aggressive and very pleasant.

Bottle - Orange citrus and some earthy hops. Clear gold with a nice head. Bright citrus bitterness and a long peel finish. Touch of mango and quite nice. Solid.

On tap at 12 Kings, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with floral hops upfront, followed by dank piney hop oils, and some herbal pot-like notes. Flavour follows accordingly, with a very floral hoppy and earthy, spicy rye character dominating. Aggressive but not quite abrasive. Really well-constructed and palate-destroying. Very good.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Black color. Mild aroma of roasted malt, milk cream, dark chocolate. The body is lean, not as strong as expected; good flavor of dark malts and dark chocolate, a bit salty; the residual sweetness is very low for this beer; strong hopping, with an evident resiny pungent character.
More like a strong Black IPA than an Imperial Stout, but still a very good beer.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, some hops, slightly dirty. Taste is roasted malt, hoppy bitterness. Very bitter aftertaste. It is more Black Imperial IPA, than RIS...

On tap at the brewery. Pours a cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma is sour, fruity. Taste is sour, with some strange fruity bitterness and mango notes. Don’t like that bitterness. Just not bad.
