On nitro tap at Portico, pours black with a medium, creamy tan head. Aroma has dry cocoa and a touch of earthy roast. Flavour is dry and malty, with a dry roasted malt character that dies off quickly, finishing with earthy, dry cocoa powder. A bit too earthy and gritty but it’s alright.

On tap at Portico, pours a hazy murky dark amber with a small white head. Aroma reveals plenty of earthy spice, dry toffee, bready malt, and subtle dry-hopping. Flavour starts malty, with plenty of bready and caramel malt, transitioning to quite a bitter hoppy, spicy finish. Definitely a hoppier amber. Solid.

On tap at Portico, pours a cloudy orangey yellow with basically no head. Aroma has a lot of bubblegumy esters, hinting a typical, incompetent American Belgian ale, some clove and doughy malt. Flavour is less estery than the nose suggested, with doughy malt, light bubblegum, some clove, and some banana. More like a hef than a Belgian—yeast is used right. Meh.

On tap at Portico, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has very light yuzu, some straw, and crisp crackery malt. Flavour has bright but restrained yuzu notes upfront, with a soft biscuity malt base. Nice citric finish. Simple but pleasant.

Can (5/3/21) from Craft Beer Cellar, Newton. It's a murky, opaque reddish-brown with tons of dark floaties, light sparkle, finger-width rocky off-white head with good retention and decent lacing. Aroma is rye, caramel and faint apple and winter spices. Taste is similar to aroma but everything is stronger and better balanced. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, an interesting, but kind of weird, winter warmer quality to it. Too carbonated and could use some help in the looks department. Surprised CBC would sell this for full price 10 months after it was canned. Would have expected this from America's favorite discount liquor store, but not one that should totally know better. No matter where you are--gotta check the dates! Glad to get the brewery tick but am bummed I got this version. At least is doesn't seem that different from previous reviews.

Draught @ Grafton st Pub, Cambridge (9 May 19). Murky amber red with very small frothy light beige head, faint sweet caramel aroma, medium carbonation, medium bitter caramel taste with grassy hops flavor, thin body, medium finish. Not very remarkable.

Draught at Deep Ellum, upon debut, then contract brewed at the now defunct Watch City.
Lightly-to-minimally hazy, blonde-golden with strong maize tints. White head atop is medium-sized, slowly falling to cover.
Fruity and with light-to-moderate mineral and phenol character, adding light white pepper, apple and pear. Cereal and biscuit behind it seems to gently balance while the hops add light notes of herb and lemon that gives it a bright edge on the end. Not terribly kolsch-like, with more malt than that usually has and the belgian yeast contributing more fruitiness and of course the phenols being out-of-place (though they arent heavy). No alcohol or flaw.
Flavor-wise it's pretty well-attenuated, with lemony hop and a fair bit of bubble gum ester. Cereal and biscuit through the middle lead to light pepper, hints of honey-like malt and lingering fruity yeast. Strong carbonation. No alcohol or flaw, but just a bit more white pepper and clove lingering than I'd prefer out of anything, let alone something roughly trying to imitate a kolsch. Still, it's a solid offering and perfectly drinkable.

Pours an amber from a bottle, little head. Aroma is a bit of citrus and banana. Flavor is a light banana and maybe a little spiciness. I feel like this is more of a witbier or hefeweizen, and is really only kölsh-y on the finish. Okay beer.

Pours a rich dark brown from a bottle, aroma is a malted milkshake, flavor is tofee, oak, cola. Pretty good beer.
