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.

Medium brown. Thin head. Tart, touch of dark malt. Plums are evident but what do they add? The base beer goes nowhere, so not much.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear copper with a cascading white creamy head. Aroma brings out lots of lactose, herbal vegetal notes and subdued hops. Flavour is all sorts of fucked up, with vegetal notes, lactose, and earthy hops. Something is very wrong here. One of the nastiest milk IPAs I've had. Dreadful.

Dark color, almost black. Some dark bread, that clashes with the mild fruit acidity (the plums) and some lactic acid.
Not very pleasant.

Hazy golden color, creamy nitro head. The aroma is mild, it’s fruity and footy. Low carbonation; light malt flavor, light acidity (why?), a bit fruity, but also creamy, buttery.
Very confused, not pleasant.

Bottle - Dark roast and some toast. Jet brown with a small light beige head. Soured plum and some roast, toast and a long finish. Not bad, but why?

Draft - Nitro - Orange peel and some caramel. Clear gold with a rich beige head. Citrus and intense mango notes with a creamy finish. Nothing like normal Milkshake IPAs, but quite fruity.
