6.4/10 Appearance 2 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Muddy yellow and little foam, just a bad scene, sweet dried apple on the nose, hints of resiny hops, lemon zest. Flavour is chalky mandarin orange, pineapple juice, soft pine. Good dryness and crisp carbonation. No complaints, ugly but tasty, and way too similar to 90% of their other beers.

Soft light clear brown body with disappointing foam, mellow caramel on the nose with vague cardboard and hop hints, stale hazelnut. Flavour is more stale hazelnut, caramel, chewy cardboard soaked in brown sugar. Good carbonation but a rather uninspiring Vienna.

Good foam and cloudy yellow, very much a lime soda vibe aroma. Flavour is all tart lime, soft grain that comes across lile coconut. Good tart finish, abv is low but doesn't detract. Comes across a little artificial but drinkable.

Muddy yellow and little foam, some sweet lager grain on the nose with soft sweet hop hints, vague burlap notes. Flavour is some sweet grain, soft hoppiness, dry sweetbread. Good carbonation. Subtle and easy but not especially complex.

Murky yellow body and bad foam, seriously it wouldn't kill them to make these half pours more attractive. Lots of piney chalk on the nose with hints of pineapple and skunk cabbage. Flavour is very chunky cabbage, earthy candied burlap, lingering chalkiness. Sweetness is there to keep it real. Enjoyable hazy.

Milky yellow body and little foam, piney potpourri on the nose with a hint of hoppy chalk but still a bit muddy. Flavour's all chalky hops, mellow pineapple, soft lemony breadfruit. Good dry chalky finish, a nicely crafted hazy IPA more or less.

Lighter clear gold body and minimal foam, kind of a rotting cabbage mixed with ashtray and sugar aroma that I don't appreciate. flavour is cardboard and soft cabbage, mellow sugar. Sweetness keeps it nice but I can't say it's too interesting a lager.

Foggy yellow body and bad foam, nice juicy hops with a balanced coconut kick on the nose. Flavour is bright coconut with soft hoppy pineapple notes, wet finish. Really nice balance, enjoyable.

Draught at the brewery
Beautiful copper colour, hazy. Nice aroma, delicate, malt, bread, also very light chemical thing, though. The body is lean, there's a bit of malt, bread and cereals, but it lacks of support, getting weak in the finish, and without apparent hop. It's clean and pleasant, but simplistic, without the malt depth of a great Vienna.

This was the 4th Indulgeousness they brewed, but it was a repeat of the first batch; the can is tagged "down with the thickness". Black, with large, tan head. Luckily it's still coconut galore, that one hasn't faded; it's moderately sweet, and it's thicker than the average pastry stout; the one thing I never get used to, though, is the slimy mouthfeel of massive lactose, something that this brewery has in common with Bas-Canada pastry stouts. I wouldn't consider this one for aging, in fact it may start having some soap feeling, but at this point it's still good. Extreme. Excessive.

Large brown head, but it disappears quickly. Aroma of chocolate, some cardboard and vanilla. Full bodied, quite thick, but not syrupy; some flavour of roasted malt, chocolate, burnt sugar; there is some lactose sliminess, but it seems less rich and lactose driven than when they released it; a bit metallic.
It's massive, but a bit clumsy, the experience is less enjoyable than it was initially.

Pitch black, poured brewery-style, with giant dark brown head. Strong aroma of chocolate, with coconut, and some vanilla. It has a full body, with round mouthfeel; sticky sweetness, but the lactose for sure, in this amounts, is weird to drink, like a coffee creamer; the chocolate flavour is dark, very rich, and salty too; some nuttiness, but less coconut than expected, and than it was on tap; a pleasant touch of leather/tobacco. A very rich, dark chocolate beer.

2020-12-04, draught at the brewery, 9-4-8-4-17=42 - Exceptional: smoothness - Great: chocolate flavour, cocoa, coconut aroma, umami, (hiding the) alcohol - Not fully convinced: that lactose flavour, feels almost like sweeteners

Pitch black colour with large brownish creamy head. There's a massive aroma of coconut and roasted hazelnuts. Full bodied, it's sweet, lip smacking, with rich chocolate flavour, strong roasted coconut, cocoa, cream; warming alcohol feeling; maybe loses some complexity in the finish. Important to notice, it's very harmonious and everything is well integrated. Chocolate is the dominant character. This is a sensorial explosion, a great result, also considering it's kind of a first time for Superflux.
