Hazy and pale, medium head. Decent sweet malt, medium bitterness. It's not bad, even at sub-peak freshness.

473 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with full tan head. Aromas of fruity coffee, dark chocolate, cola, and roasted malts. Flavors follow same. A bit thin and the fruity flavors although interesting seem odd; more along the lines of a black IPA. OK overall.

This IPA poured a hazy, light yellow colour with a creamy, white head. Nice lacing. Scents include pineapple, lemon and grass/resin. First swig was a little thin with flavours of lemon tea and pineapple. Finish is mildly hoppy with flavours of grass lingering.

330mL can, pours black with a small tan head. Nose has plenty of salted caramel, followed by bourbon barrels, and some toasted malt. Flavour has plenty of burnt, salted caramel, gentle woody barrel, and some roast. There’s something lacking here–not a great malt base or depth. Good but deficient.

Dark brown. Thin head. Aroma comes across thin, with light caramel. On the palate, there's a bit of chocolate, light caramel, and toastiness. Again, though, the body is light, and we know Nickel Brook is capable of a bigger stout than this. The lack of sugars definitely hurts this, as the chocolate-caramel balance is pretty good, and just needs a little something sugary to carry it across the palate.

355mL can. Pours a very dark brown with a beige head. Bready nose with notes of caramel and barrel. Flavour has dry salted caramel, a bit bready, solid roast. Has nice consituent flavours, but lacks the power to drive it home.

355 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with moderate tan head. Aromas of light caramel, sugars, and bready malts. Flavors of caramel, woody oak, and toasted malts with a funny medicinal note and possibly some salt if I think about it. Not that great, and disappointing; but drinkable.

Somewhat cloudy blond with half a finger of soapy white head. Taste is strongly hoppy. Resin, perfume, a touch of citrus and some bitterness in the finish. Here's the rub, its all over a fairly thin, dry hay malt bases. But....it's only sporting 3.5%. It's pretty good for a light session.
