4.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 4 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
On tap at Bells & Whistles, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out musty armpits, with light earthy hops and biscuity malt. Flavour is a little more pleasant, with earthy hops and dry bready malt. Earthy and dry. It's okay - at least it tastes better than it smells.

Hazy and pale. Thin head. On the nose, The hops are sort of herbal and earthy. The malts seem biscuity but also husky. On the palate, I like it better - nice spicy hop, the malts are a touch husky in the finish but have a nice sweetness up front. Low bitterness, but also the yeast is restrained. OK example.

Ugly look, it's a dull and hazy light brown with very small head. Mild elements, it's a bit grainy, a bit herbaceous, light vegetables, infinitesimal butter.
This is missing the Hazy IPA style by a mile.

Nice foam, good foam, the kind of foam that's probably the best foam. But the Mexicans should pay for it! A soft orange-copper body though, good yeast funk with solid hints of orange rind and peach zest; the flava flave is heavy on the big oily hops, apricot and mandarin orange. Oily on the mouth. Could use more flavour. But otherwise a good effort, nice drinking, casual and could use more refinement.

Has a decent darker beige head of some creaminess and a slightly transparent dark ruby body. Aroma is watery roasted barley, soft black coffee, and nothing else. Flavour is a nice mellow mix of coffee and molasses, good smoothness, nice mouthfeel and not overbearing. Alcohol is well hidden, though that shouldn't be too surprising as this is on the lower end of an imperial stout strength. Which ain't so bad as it's drinkable. Go get trashed somewhere else.

2018-01-25, bottle from The Gull, North Vancouver, 6-4-6-3-12=31
Brown color, medium head, not very persistent. Aroma of Strong Ale (some malt) with apple. Medium body strength, some caramel, light sweetness, bourbon, a bit sour, the barrel gives some apple taste.
Quite chaotic, and dubious.

Brown color, clean. Nice aroma, but also smells like those oxidized barley wines. Sweet and fruity, dark fruits, raisins, plums, a bit sour, whiskey, with a thinner finish. Like an Old Ale, quite good.

Can, just a sip
Amber colour. Aroma of leafy hops. Malt base with light sweetness, hint of hops and maybe honey, flowery.

Poured from 500mL bottle [2017]. Dark brown with dissipating beige head. Aroma has lots of bourbon and chocolate and dark fruits. Taste is quite different - sweet fruits, light caramel malt, mild tartness, bourbon gets hidden amongst everything else going on. The aroma was quite good, but the taste did not deliver.
