On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a cloudy a dirty dark mahogany with a small tan head. Aroma is light, with caramel malts and English bready malt. Flavour is about the same, with English bready malts, toffee, and just enough hops to balance. Well-balanced, quite robust and drinkable. Decent, but lacking character.

Draught at 12 Kings, Vancouver
Last glass of the keg. Cloudy brown color with small creamy head. Caramel flavor, but also some rubber and dust, yeast, and low bitterness. Lightly sour.
Not convincing, but it could be old…

Dark beer, at first it seemed interesting, but eventually it just has a thin body and a lot of roasted malts, a bit ashy, with some metallic feeling in the end. Nod bad,nothing special.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is very dry, bringing out oats and bitter dry cocoa powder. Flavour is well-balanced, with notes of oats, dry cocoa powder and a touch of roast. Balanced and drinkable, but not very exciting. Competent.

On tap. Pours a very dark brown with light white head. Aromas of roasted malts. Flavors of oatmeal, heavily roasted barley, and bitter cocoa. Rather sharp as opposed to oatmeal smooth. Simple first iteration.

On tap at The Met. Hazy and quite pale with a fairly thick head. The aroma has clean pale malts, and a light smoky nose. Nice lacing. Pale malts and the same mellow smoke on the palate...some underlying poopy pedio being the only issue of note.

Growler from the brewery. Fairly hazy, amber-brown. Aroma has some strong phenols including a touch of bubblegum, and some dusty yeast. Flavour is sweeter up front but there is a bit of tartness as well. The phenols are toned down but there is some yeast character as well. Ok but definitely needs refinement.
