On draught at the brewpub, served in a chalice. The beer is a clear orange-gold color with a medium thin and bubbly off-white head that diminishes slowly. Patchwork lacing on the glass. The aroma is fruity with pale malt and spice notes. Medium, clean body with a sweet fruity character accompanied by chrystal malt and lightly spiced hops. The finish is tart apple with a malty backbone. Pretty good overall.

Draft at the brewpub. Filtered brown amber-orange color. Malty, but not aggressively thick. Really straightforward. Sweet, with a a spicy hop balance. Comes off almost Lager-like to me. OK.

Draft at the brewpub. Filtered, slightly hazy orange color. Not aggressively fruited, the apricot is actually quite well incorporated. A nice sour tangy aftertaste. Easy drinking stuff. Sweet, malty, watery body. Unique.

Draft at the brewpub. Reddish black color. A little bitter chocolate in the aroma. Some bitter chocolate sweetness flavor-wise, but a little too watery and light. Smooth and drinkable, average example of a US Porter.

Draft at the brewpub. Thick, cloudy orange-gold color. Sweet, yeasty aroma. The taste is equally yeasty, with an earthy freshness. Creamy, with a solid alcohol backbone. Some orange tang in the yeast. Pretty good.

On draught at the brewpub. This brew pours black as pitch with a medium foamy light brown head that diminishes slowly. Thick rings of lacing stay put for the duration. The aroma consists of roasted coffee and hops, plus a bit of malt. Medium, dry body with flavors of roasted malt, bitter coffee and dark chocolate. The finish is tangy hops and coffee with a lingering bitter aftertaste. Overall, CBC’s first attempt at an Imperial Stout is fairly respectable.

Bottle thanks to BeerVirgin72. Thank god I opened this chilled, as it was a slow gusher, and first pour was all foam... Head continued to rise for several minutes just sitting in my glass...Weird. As said, the head was huge, and creamy, just slightly off-white. Good lacing. Underneath is a hazy but effervescent body that is a deep orange hue. Aroma is sweet with berries, hops and cinnamon. Taste is odd and metallic with some fruit and harsh grainy malt. Not balanced. Notes of ginger that burn a little. Very fizzy and dry.
