Wee Heavy - Oaked from Persephone Brewing
12 years ago
5.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
On cask at the Alibi Room, pours a clear dark orange amber with a small beige head. Aroma is pretty subtle, with notes of wood and light caramel. Flavour is heavy on the oak / wood, with loads of wet wood, oak and light caramel sweetness. Interesting take on the style, with dominating woody notes. Decent one.

Double IPA from Persephone Brewing
12 years ago
9.4/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 9 Flavor 9 Texture 10 Overall 9.5
On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear orange with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out wonderful notes of resinous hops, lots of pine, and just enough caramel biscuity malt. Flavour is exceptionally well-balanced, with truckloads of resinous hops, piney hops, a touch of spice, and biscuity malt to back. Beautiful palate with all flavours in perfect harmony. Lots of hoppy bite and just enough malt to provide support. Phenomenal stuff - definitely the best IIPA in the province, if not the best overall beer.

Hop Yard Red Ale (formerly Rum Runner) from Persephone Brewing
12 years ago
7.1/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Draught at Tap & Barrel, Coal Harbour, Vancouver
Dark mahogany color with compact head. Strong aroma of caramel and hops. Smooth mouthfeel; there is just a light residual sugar presence; strong caramel aroma; hops are powerful, very bitter and resiny, with limited citrus fruit / orange contribution; actually the final is too bitter, a bit dusty and astringent too.
Brutal red ale, not an example of elegance.

Dry Stout from Persephone Brewing
12 years ago
6.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver, as Dry Irish Stout
Black color with the expected creamy head from the nitro pump. Mild, nutty roasted malt aroma. Smooth mouthfeel; roasted malt flavor, dryish, balanced, a bit fruity, and with very light acidity from the dark malts.
Nice, quite surprising for a nitro beer.

Draft - Caramel with pine hops and some toasted malts. Clear amber with a thin head. Aggressively hopped with pine notes and quite a bit of bitterness. Malts are lost with the hops.
