Hazy amber pour, small white head.
Citrus aroma, but its slight considering the super citrus citra hop used. The citrus flavors are there but they are muted a bit by the big caramel, toffee malt notes.
The finish is light on the bitterness, and has a slight hoppy finish.

Clear orange/golden pour, with a small white head.
aroma is very herbal, grassy hops, lots of minerals, and some hard woodiness. Good mouth fee, solid carbonation. The flavor was quite hard, bitter wood, minerals, and some odd yeasty bready bitterness. not very good.

On tap at the burger bar. Right off the bat i found this quite bitter for a porter.
Big roasted, burnt malts, light cocoa, and a big bitter bite. Yes i would agree this is robust a little low on the carb, but the palate didnt suffer.

Volo Cask Days 2009. The ginger and lime are both represented and are easy to pick out. Very refreshing beer, another beer that would be amazing for summer.

Aroma of light tropical fruit, and quite a bit of cereal, and hay. Flavor was bitter, and the sweetness was a little too fruity , and kinda threw things off. Not bad, but a little odd.

I’m a little late posting this one. Just porting over notes taken from the recent Ratebeer Toronto East vs West Bombarbier event at the Only. I’ll admit I was getting a little loopy by this one, but I will not admit the defeat for the WEST! I’ll admit I love trying new (and potentially messed-up) beers. This came off a bit weird. Pours a rosy gold with some cloud, a finger of white dense creamy head. Nose has lots of raw ginger, some sweetness, and a mild malty-ness in the back. The taste is very malty, a good ginger zing lasts thoughout, but overall a little thin on the pallet.

Cinnamon is very light here so it integrates well with what tastes like their ordinary robust porter which I already love. The experiment works out here though, as they add just enough cinnamon to make a subtle presence. Pours pitch black with mocha head and lacing. Roast malt, some dark chocolate. Finishes with light bitterness and sweetness in good balance. C’est What Festival

This is pretty undrinkable - a drain pour for me. Pours cloudy orange without head or lacing. Some malt with ginger. Elements don’t really come together - seems like they just had a bad experiment and threw it at C’est what for the beer festival.
