Bottle - Tart. Plum, light raisin and soured malts. Deep clear Amber with a rich light brown head. Light soured malts, light perfume, plum and some raisin. Tart, medicinal and interesting.

Draft - Cherry, blackberry and pomegranate. Deep clear copper with a decent beige head. Slightly tart pomegranate and Berry juice. Tart and light acid in the finish. I love the style, this just didn’t work, tastes like juice.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear dark copper amber with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out notes of vinegar, sour dark fruits, and Worcestershire sauce. Flavour is less vinegary, revealing notes of tart stone fruits, light vinegar and a little bit of funky yeast. Not a very complex sour brown, but it's drinkable. Decent, but lacking.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a dark mahogany with a small tan head. Aroma brings out licorice notes upfront, followed by coriander and a touch of toffee. Flavour is bizarre, bringing out a strange mix anise and coriander. This isn't cohesive at all. Really messy and rather unpleasant. Not my thing.

Hazy amber color. Diacetyl loaded Amber Ale, with no evidence of fresh hopping.
Unprofessional.

Hazy dark amber color. A beer with a lean caramel profile, good hopping level, mild fruity touch from the hops, but also a clear buttery hand. Butterscotch aroma, mild.
Drinkable because I don't mind some diacetyl, but it needs some rectification.

Notes from BC beer awards - on tap. Pours brown with fine head. Aromas of wood, bourbon/alcohol, and brown sugar. Flavors are similar and stronger: cane sugar, wood barrel, and bourbon. Somewhat acidic and hot but a nice variant of the quad which makes a better product.

Draft - Oak aged version - Brown sugar, raisin and plum with some barrel notes. Dark cloudy brown with no head. Boozy, oaky with raisin and dark sugars. Would be amazing with a bit of age to mellow out the flavors.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Cloudy carmine red color with pinkish head. Aroma and flavor remind me of refined white sugar, the flavor is off-sweet with vague fruit touch, the bitterness almost absent.
Not bad drink, also not a beer.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Hazy blond color. American Saison, a bit drier than the average, quite spicy, but also with a presence of vegetables.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma is clean, with crackery malt, some Belgian yeast, and floral notes. Flavour is clean but fairly bland, with light Belgian yeast and floral crackery malt. Dry and drinkable. Thirst-quenching but fairly boring.
