On tap at the Bitter Tasting Room, pours a dark copper amber with a small beige head. Nose brings out toasted malt, toasted nuts, and herbal notes. Flavour brings out earthy malts, toasted nuts, and light herbal notes. Quite well-balanced actually, with a nicely herbally, toasted nut finish. Decent bock.

Dark amber color, clean, with small creamy head. Very mild aroma, some caramel and apple. Good body structure, although the mouthfeel is rather dry; caramel flavor with a roasted nut accent; correct bitterness; the final is a bit bready.
More Amber Ale than Bock, not enough malt or caramel.

Reddish dark brown. Smells thin, nutty, bland. Body is a bit better than the nose indicated, but it’s still this thin, nutty thing. Not really getting it done.

A bit murky medium brown. Aroma is mellow and coffeeish. Taste is sweet up front, with a bit of coffee kicking in late. Finishes sweet. Ok coffee stout, balanced and mellow.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Hazy blond color with compact head. Nice aroma of hay and cereals. Dry buy soft mouthfeel; the malt flavor is quite crispy, with a good accent of hay and cereals, and a bready impression; correct bitterness with light grassy hops. Harmonious.
Fresh and satisfying. A good choice.

Hazy light amber color with small creamy head. Dry, smooth, very bready, and nothing else. I had higher expectations on this one...

Updated Mar 2019. On tap. Nothing similar to the original. Now pretty boring. Original 2014: 650 ml bottle. Pours a clear clear gold with moderate head. Aromas of flowers, grain, and corn. Deep flavors of fresh bread, toast, and malt extract. 7/4/9/4/14

Hazy amber color with persistent creamy head. Smooth brew; it has a very strong character of dirty water, some paper; dry; correct bitterness; some astringency in the end.
Not exactly good.
