Part of their 4-pack Winter Collection... from last year. Oh wow! Big toothpaste, gum wintergreen minty nose. Dark brown colour, looks clean enough with some copper highlights, a tad of ruby. The head is big, creamy-frothy, warm beige with very good retention and solid creamy lacing. I am almost getting some chocolate malt, but not really - the mint is so strong. Weird, the mint is much milder in the taste, with the roasted malt base. Hints of chocolate malts linger. Interesting brew, and not hating the minty dark brews, but this one might be a little unbalanced between it all.

Part of their 4-pack Winter Collection... from last year. Fairly clean golden-amber colour with a frothy-creamy warm cap that stays quite a long time and leaves creamy-foam lacing. Grassy hop aromas reminding me of West Coast-style, with a touch of grind coffee and some raisins. The taste is a nice blend of the hop grassiness and light espresso. The mouthfeel is a nice crisp-turned-into-dry-finish, with a tad tartiness from the coffee grinds. Was not sure what to expect, but it does work well and goes down nicely.

A deep dark reddish brown stout with a thin lacing mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, nutty notes, light coffee, pleasant. In mouth, a nice sweet chocolate malt with loads of nutty notes, light cereals, pleasant. On tap at Cheshire Cat.

This stout poured an almost deep blackish red colour with a creamy, brown head. Nice lacing. Scents include chocolate and hazelnuts most prominent. First swig was a little thinner than expected. Flavours of chocolate, hazelnuts, coffee and mild hops. Finish is like a box of Christmas chocolates.

Fairly clean, with a big of tiny particles through it, light golden colour with a frothy white cap leaving some foamy-soapy lacing. Nice fresh nose of lemon and lime over the straw malts, and some hints of herbal notes. The mouthfeel is on the light side, with the flavours as well - being a 4% lager. Thankfully, the citrus cuts the regular sweet malt and lingers lightly. Quite an easy-drinking, refreshing light lager with that twist of lemon and lime.

Can from the LCBO. Hazy medium gold with a large foamy off white head that lingers leaving patchy lace. Nose has some prominent yeast and spice with tropical fruit, green grape, grass and grains. Light fruity sweetness with some citrus peel tartness and light+ grassy bitterness. Mouth is medium slick with active carbonation and a lightly spicy finish. 8/3+/7/3+/
