This espresso porter poured a deep black colour with a creamy, tan coloured head. Nice lacing. Scents include coffee and cocoa. It’s strange but I don’t get allspice in it. Spice, yes… almost a thyme smell to it? First swig was smooth and creamy and slightly sweet. A tiny bit thin in the mouthfeel, but delicious first impression. Flavours of coffee, burnt malt, cocoa and a little allspice. Finish is roasty and full of coffee/spice flavours that linger forever.

Dullish pale. No head. Simple kettle sour, simple orange note. It's clean, the orange is a bit artificial. It's okay.

pleasant nose, with light chocolate, some coffee and hint of the promised oatmeal. The taste is understated and balanced, same as the nose with a little added brown sugar. But the chocolate and coffee dissipate pretty quickly, which is unusual for an oatmeal stout. What is left is malt, oatmeal and some sweetness in the aftertaste.

This is a tasty, understated blonde ale. It does not overdo the Belgian yeast, which is a mistake many brewers make (IMO) in this category. Again, as with their English Ale and IPA, this is a malt forward beer. It is a nice sweet bready taste, and appropriate in this style of beer. Very refreshing.

Can’t say I am a fan of an IPA where the malt is so much more present than the hops. Cascade and Centennial hops are capable of a lot more than this. Not as tasty or category appropriate as their English Ale, IMO.

A nicely balance English-style ale. The expected dark bready malt has a soft caramel and toast profile, set off nicely by what I expect are classic understated English hops. An appropriate but significant effervescence punches up the taste. A nice session ale for the long, cold Ontario winter!

473mL can. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Dry grass and biscuit malts. Flavour has dry grass, biscuit malts; a touch skunky. Medium-bodied with soft carbonation. It's a fairly middling blonde.

A lightly hazed golden ipa with a thin thick frothy creamy lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with light resinous hops, light treacle, light citrus pulp, pleasant. In mouth, a nice caramel malt with light grassy resinous hops, light mineral notes, light cereals, OK. Can at Ottawa on Tap 2025.
