Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Dark brown colour. Aroma of bread, caramel, mild spice. Full bodied, moderately sweet, it sits well somewhere between European impies and North American pastry stouts; dark sugars, caramel, touch of spice, breadcrust, rye.
Very good.

Poured from the tap. Clear yellow gold with small white head. Clean, crisp, pale lager malt with some toasted breadiness in the background, it’s decent.

Poured from the tap. Slightly hazed bright orange with minimal white head. Fairly malty, there are some very feint grassy hops, but the malt really covers it all up. What’s the point of fresh hopping if it’s going to be completely overpowered by the malt?

Poured from the tap. Clear gold with small white head. Astingent, weak citrus hops, sweet caramel malt backing, feint hint of soap. Out of balance.

Poured from the tap. Cloudy yellow with minimal white head. Stone fruit and some tropical hops with a mild pithy finish. Decent, especially for Faculty.

16oz @ Alex's. Appearance: dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: moderately sweet, some roasted malts and dark fruits, a bit of chocolate. Taste: along the same lines, pretty good body, a bit dry in the finish, dark chocolate. Overall: good one.

473mL can, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out dry cocoa nibs and dry medium roast. Flavour brings out cocoa nibs, earthy roasted malt, and a touch of vanilla. Surprisingly tasty. Not the most intense or full-bodied but clean and tasty.

Poured from 473mL can. Hazy gold with small white head. Ginger, coriander, cardamom, maybe a hint of tumeric. Okay.

Blond colour, with an orange shade, cloudy to murky. The aroma is remarkably fruity for Faculty, tropical fruits, pineapple juice. Good body strength, there is still some residual sugar, and the oats component is not too evident, fortunately; there is some good hop juice, leaning towards orange pith in the finish.
Overall, it's a bit rough, but it has some flavour, it's enjoyable
