On tap at Ravens, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out bready malt and light sweetness. Flavour is bready and dry, with bready malt, cereal notes, and straw. Sweet and bready, with a crisp finish. It's alright.

On tap at Ravens, pours a clear pale copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle tart plums and some cereal notes. Flavour is not too pleasant, with tart plums, cereal notes and a little lacto. The plums are pretty poorly expressed here and there's a lingering yogurty character that isn't pleasant.

On tap at Ravens, pours a cloudy dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma is fairly fruity, with red fruits, bready malt and a touch of caramel. Flavour is dry, with English bready malt, some red fruits, and a hint of toffee. Dry and fruity, with a nice maltiness. Solid.

473 ml can. Pours a dark brown with bubbly head that dissipates quickly. Aromas of nutty chocolate, a bit of plastic and roasted malts. Flavors follow same with additional peanuts. Thinner than expected but like a porter. Was thinking the hot chocolate title would come with something chocolatey and creamy. Not so

Poured from 473mL can. Near black with tan head. Very mild roast malt start with a more dominant dark chocolate middle and a mild bitter roast finish. The chocolate notes are nice, but if the roast complimented it better, it would be very good.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Dark brown with minimal beige head. Black currant, oak wood, hint of balsamic. A little bit rough around the edges.

500ml at Matt's amenity room. Appearance: very dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: roasted malts, overfermented black currants, some sweetness and sourness. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: interesting, but I wouldn't care very much about it.

Dark brown. No head. Lots of brett, lots of dark fruit notes, which probably is probably the blackcurrant. So I'm not normally a fan of dark sours, but this does have a pretty good complexity to it. So I do like it.

500mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is loaded with oak, some black currant, and a little balsamic. Flavour is very oaky, with lots of woody oak, balsamic, and lightly tart black currant. That's a lot of oak--damn. Lots of oak, with just enough tartness and nice expression of the fruit. Very good.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver; tag 249180920 (sept 18?)
Golden colour, clean. The aroma is simple, near macro lager. It has a respectable malt flavour, mild, bread, with a little toast, balanced bitterness, and it's clean. Pleasant.
