Tall can from the brewery at Alex's. Pours an almost black with a dark brown head. Aroma is coffee, roasted malt, some light fruitiness. Taste is similar with maybe slight bourbon notes. Good as a stout, meh as BBA stout.

473mL can, pours a deep dark purple-ish pink with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out blackberry puree upfront, with lactose and some vanilla. Flavour is along the same lines, with lactose, vanilla and blackberry puree. Not exactly harmonious and somewhat awkward, but it's okay.

Slight plum accent to the colour, with a thin head. It’s quite yeasty on the nose, with a vague stone fruit note. Yeasty palate, a bit gluey and underattenuated, but also with just that touch of plum. Pretty big meh.

Golden. Bright, thin head. There’s a sticky malt note, and this is also a bit fruity. Still, underattenuated for the style. 1

Taster at Alibi Room during The Bruery tap takeover. Pours a bit hazy blonde with a white head. Aroma is very hoppy and a bit grassy. Taste is similar. Very easy drinkable and refreshing.

Taster at the brewery. Pours a bit hazy dark copper with a tan head. Aroma is roasted malt with some slight fruity notes. Taste is quite sour, some sour cherries and roasted malt. Not sure how much of oak is here.

Taster at the brewery. Pours a hazy rose-ish with a white head. Aroma is somewhat dirty with some fruity notes. Taste is better, less dirt and more plums. Ok.

473mL can, pours a cloudy amber orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out fresh pitted plums, saison yeast, and light esters. Flavour brings out rotten plums, light tartness, and estery notes. Chaotic and poorly integrated. Not disastrous, but pretty weak.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy blond colour. Bone dry Saison, with a little fruity thing going on in the aroma, delicate spice (maybe the yeast) and some final astringency die also to the dryness.
Timid but well made, no fake American Saison. Then you read the ABV and you are even more impressed.
