650mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown / black with a small beige head. Aroma is quite harsh, with licorice, harsh roast, and abrasive hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with abrasive hops, harsh roast, and some licorice. Harsh hops and bitter roast. Not so expertly made. Meh.

Bottle from High Point, Vancouver
Black colour with large beige head. Roasted malt aroma, metallic, light smoke, ashes. Smooth, dry, heavily roasted, maybe a bit metallic, nice smoke, but also too bitter (chicory) in the finish.
Not too bad.

Piney and roasty notes. Jet black with a decent beige head. Bitter, pine and roast. Perfumy and decent. Solid.

Bomber bottle. Has a somewhat thin and heavily carbonated dark brown body, very modest darker brown foam on top. The aroma is chocolatey coffee with a hint of vegetable. Flavour is more chocolatey coffee with a crisp finish, however the mouthfeel is quite thin. An okay sipper, residual notes of pumpernickel and dark chocolate but could be fuller.

650ml bottle from JAKS NW shared with Andrey. Pours a very dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is lots of coffee with milk. Taste is pretty similar with some roasted malt notes. Low to moderate sweet. This is a nicely balanced product that tastes exactly how it's described. Unexpectedly good.

Taster at Legacy. Pours a bit hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is some tropical fruits and some malty notes. Similar taste. Not bad.

Chilled bottle, poured aggressively it has just a little head and a nice cute pink body without much carbonation. The aroma is lots of blackberry, somewhat fresh but not in a cloying way and a good balance of decent juiciness. Flavour is nice subtle blackberry with a hint of grain malt. Mouthfeel is not too present though, a bit watery, could use more sugar or oiliness I think. Overall decent drinking for a fruity kinda beer.

Pours with a nice layer of creamy head and a darker copper body that's got modest carbonation. Aroma is rosewater, sharp hops, citrus, and just a hint of grapefruit. Flavour is a nice mellow pale ale with lemon and a waft of grapefruit throughout. Dry finish. Quite nice, balanced, floral, drinkable.

Bomber bottle. Good pour of semi-creamy head and cloudy orange liquid, decent small bubbles coming up. Sharp hops aroma leaning toward vegetable but not quite, a bit nutty, some malt, crisp, pale ale like, no alcohol noticed. Flavour is big sharp sour hops, some vegetable, lingering chewy leaf hops with slight sweetness. Big oiliness hides any alcohol. A little bit too bitter for my tastes but the nine percent is invisible so it's got that going for it.
