Muddy brown body and little foam, sweet cherry cola with some coffee on the nose. Flavoyr is sweet cherry and some good biscuit and coffee, though it's all too watery. Kind of a musty finish. Some good elements here but there is room for improvement.

Muddy brown body and little foam, watery chai coffee on the nose. Flavour is more chai coffee, deep biscuit. Modest carbonation, simple enough and not too badly made though hardly exciting.

Deep brown with a rich light brown head. Light spice and cocoa. Light spice, touch of bitterness and toast. Not bad and not too spiced.

On tap at Faculty, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is husky, with earthy, murky saison yeast, graininess, and maybe some diacetyl. Flavour is rough, with lots of husky grainy notes, some diacetyl, and dry yeast. This is messy and very poorly calibrated. Off the mark.

On tap at Faculty, pours a hazy pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is of full of spicy ginger, saison yeast, and cereal graininess. Flavour is dry and grainy, with gentle ginger spiciness upfront and saison yeast drying this out. A touch of esters, but it's pretty dry. Seems better than it used to be based on the older ratings.

On tap at Faculty, pours a cloudy, opaque peachy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is full of gentle turmeric and a touch of sweetness. Flavour is a turmeric bomb, with loads of spices dominating. Not very interesting or pleasant, but it's not terrible.

Very little foam and a dark brownish body, muddy dark chocolate on the nose with vegetal notes that don't do it any favours. Flavour is smooth chocolate, indeed dark, kind of a brownie cake thing going on but less sweet. Full mouthfeel and reasonable granularity given the dark chocolate roots. Not exceptional but certainly okay.

Pours clear brown with modest foam, nice sharp fruity hop notes on the nose with malt hints. Flavour is muddy sweet malt with a sharp hoppy back end, a bit candyish, some biscuit. Mouthfeel is dry and crisp. A little mediocre for what it is but still drinkable.

Good beige foam on a deep solid dark brown body, chewy chocolate and molasses on the nose. Flavour is burnt coffee, chocolately barley. A little thin on the mouth for what it is and I'm not sure where the hefeweizen comes in but it's still all right.

Cloudy, slightly dull. Has a fair bit of bitterness, but it’s really husky, thinnish, overaparged, just does not come clean. Yeasty, messy, lacks brightness...I mean it’s not awful but for a brewery that’s been around four years or whatever it’s been to still be whiffing on the fundamentals is kind of exasperating.
