Draft - Corrainder and citrus with lots of yeast. Cloudy gold with a small white head. Coriander, green herbs, citrus peel and a decent perfumy finish.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a hazy dark copper amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out subdued coffee beans and a touch of lactose. Flavour is a bit harsh, with earthy stale coffee grounds. Not really getting the lactose. Dull and dirty. Not good.

Can. Gold colour. The saaz is a touch cheesy, the malts are a bit sticky, but in general it’s a decent pilsner.

On tap at St. Augustines, pours a hazy carame amber with a small white head. Aroma is very subdued, with toasted nuts and light bready malt. Flavour is likewise subdued, with notes of caramel, toasted nuts and candied sweetness. Timid and underwhelming. If youre going to brew like this, why do it so halfheartedly?

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Clean dark amber color. Light Aroma of caramel. I never had a Nanaimo bar, this beer has a mild nutty flavor and light caramel and chocolate, dry mouthfeel and short final. Mikkeller and Omnipollo can do some good dessert-beer, Old Yale can’t. Also, typical BC old style, they don’t dare brewing something stronger and sweeter.
Mediocre.

On tap at 12 Kings, pours a clear purple with a medium murky white head - absolutely bizarre. Aroma is quite subdued, with just a hint of floral character. Flavour is quite subdued, with very light floral notes, not much else. Pleasant enough - tastes nowhere near as alarming as it looks. Okay.

Draught @ 12 Kings. Purplish colour with a thin head. Aroma is faint but if you try hard enough you’ll get some florals. On the palate a touch more floral but mainly a clean pale malt note and touch of hop earthiness. Don’t mind this.

Purple color. Dry and weak mouthfeel; light flowery aroma; light flowery flavor and very light fruit. The mild astringency in the final makes it not very suitable for crushing.
Nothing special.

Bouteille de 650ml du Canada Craft Club. Traditional chocolate cake and coffee for aroma. Medium brown head on black and opaque liquid. Chocolate cake, brownies, caramel and sponge toffee are the main flavors of this creamy sweet stout. Roasted malts are not agressive giving this beer a high level of drinkability. Pleasant beer. L’olfactif présente des effluves de gateau au chocolat et également des traces de café fort. La torréfaction est assez présente et lui donne un nez assez traditionnel. Une bonne mousse brune couronne ce liquide noir et opaque. Caramel et chocolat introduisent la palette des saveurs. Des notes de gateau au chocolat, brownies, caramel, tire éponge. Belle palette. Gustatif supérieur à l’olfactif. En bouche, c’est rond, c’est crémeux, sucré, mais pas trop. L’amertume de torréfaction n’est pas trop prononcée. Bonne buvabilité. Plaisante.

Dull, amber. Nitro? This kills the nose. Well, except the butter. Nothing NE about this. Egregious misuse of yeast. It’s orangey butter. Goddamn it fuck diacetyl.
