2017-10-23, draught at Parallel 49, Vancouver, as Three Hops Belgian Single, 4.5% ABV, 6-3-7-3-13=32
Hazy blond color. Crisp dry beer, with wildflower honey character, mild Belgian yeast character with earthy and spicy notes, mild astringency in the final. Good.
2015-08-26, draught at Tangent Café, Vancouver, as Sterling Single, 5% ABV, 7-3-7-3-15=35
Hazy pale blond color with large frothy head. The aroma is spicy, a bit flowery, interesting. Dry mouthfeel with a nice Belgian yeast character, spicy, and correctly bitter, crossed by a flowery touch that seems sweet.
Very nice.

@ BC Beer Awards. Golden colour, medium head. Bright. The nose is mostly sweet doughy pale malt bit there's also a nice little biscuit nose. On the palate the body is full and biscuity. Liking this.

Mooch tasting at Matt’s
Dark brown color with some bubbles, barely any head. Very nice aroma, caramelized sugars, light vanilla, some alcohol. Nice flavor of dark carMel, dark malts, with fruity esters, and alcohol warmth.
Not too deep, but very nice.

Dark brown. Not much head. This has a lot of bourbon aroma, with some sticky black sugars. Kind of fizzy, then fading into a soft brown sugar palate, getting almost sticky in the end. The taste is mostly bourbon, maybe some malt, more of those sugars. Not a lot of complexity...mellow mead, clean and dark sugar...rounded by bourbon but yeah, wishing for more complexity.

750mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of bourbon barrels, cola, roasted malt, molasses, and brown sugar. Flavour is very rich and sweet, with tons of bourbon barrels, molasses, brown sugar, and treacle. The honey is masked as a miscellaneous decadent sweetness that blends wonderfully with the other elements. Rich, wonderfully calibrated and a lovely sipper. Excellent.
