Tap: Poured a hazy dirty golden color ale with a nice large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of grassy and floral hops with light sweet notes is quite interesting and refreshing. Taste is also dominated by lots of grassy hops notes with some floral undertones and some fruity ester. Body is full with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. I love those Belgian IPA and this one did not disappoint.

Tap: Poured a dark hazy golden color ale with a generous head with OK retention. Aroma of strong bourbon notes with light vanilla with some hops that are noticeable but also quite buried. Taste is also dominated by light caramel malt notes with strong bourbon notes and some light butterscotch. Body is quite full with good carbonation and some light warming alcohol is apparent. I am usually not a big fan of bourbon hoppy beer but I though this was well put together.

Tap: Poured a black color porter with a small brown foamy head with OK retention. Aroma of chocolate and roasted malt with some green peppers notes also perceptible. Taste is also dominated by roasted malt with light dry black chocolate notes and some green peppers notes. Body is bit thin for style with good carbonation. Not bad but I could do without the green pepper notes.

Sampled at the Clocktower, but not sure if this is the right one (as it was written Aged in Pinot Noir). I do not see any info on a Pinot Noir version. Anyways, pours a cloudy amber colour with a creamy off-white head and creamy lacing. Aromas of caramel malt and hops. Fruity with a little alcohol. Beautiful creamy mouthfeel, quite smooth, with a hop dryness in the finish. Fruity malt taste with grassy citrus hops and grainy cereal in the end. Nice bitterness in the aftertaste. This is a pretty different beer for the Clocktower, but a nice direction. Great collaboration with Beyond the Pale.

Thanks to PaleAleRider for this one, straight from the brewery. Pours a hazy amber colour with a beige-yellow head that has good retention and limited lacing. Great aromas of hops, but not your typical hopbomb. Well mixed with the fruity and caramel malts. Very slight dry mouthfeel. Grainy malt taste with the hop presence, but again, not too crazy. Just right with some grassy notes that lingers. Gets cloudy near the last pour. This is a pretty good brew. Probably one of my favorites so far from this brewery.
