650 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with light head. Aromas of chocolate powder and chalk with a hint of biscuits. Metallic and sour. Can’t really get much of the flavors after this assault. Bizarre.

Bottle. Classic peach/apricot hop aroma. Cloudy (light gray) yellow with a low white head. Yeast was on the decline in my bottle (month before BB), light autolysis, leafy hops, nice aromatic notes. Medium body, dry mouthfeel.Completely fresh I am sure this was a super beer, I only got its shadow.

Bottle from Central City Liquor Store, Surrey
Black color, with small head. Moderate aroma of roasted malts, with very light notes of bread and acid. Good body structure; unfortunately a lingering acidity is immediately perceived and spoils the experience; besides that, there is some dry chocolate and roasted malt; all indicates this could be a good beer if not flawed.
Note: the label has dents corresponding to the year (?) 02, the month 08 and the days 2 and 29; confusing

Hazy golden color. The aroma is breadish, strong, some cereals. The mouthfeel is dry; there is caramel flavor, with a mild character of bread cereals and vegetables; it has a quite strong bitterness, the hop providing a grassy touch.
I expected a beer with spicy yeast (Belgian) and fruity hop (American); instead this is a British Bitter.

Cloudy orange-amber color, with small head. Nice hop fruity aroma, with some apricot and oranges, and a light cheesy hint. Good mouthfeel, not too dry nor too chewy, with good toffee flavor; the hop is strong, partially resiny and earthy; the final is long.
I usually prefer fresher and fruitier IPAs, but this one too has a character, solid and very good.
