On tap at brewery. Pours clear dark gold with small white head. Aroma has a lot of pine and floral notes. Flavour predominantly pine and resin with malt and floral notes; some oily resin lingering on the finish. Mouthfeel could be a bit more aggressive, but was very drinkable as is. Good beer.

Amber, small beige head. Lightly sweet toffee nose. Toffee more prevalent in palate as it warms, vague hop finish. Drinkable, not memorable

473 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with full tan head. Aromas of dark sugars, cocoa and roasted malts. Flavors of sugary chocolate, cream and roasted malts with a hint of cinnamon. Big for the ABV but really sugary.

On tap at The Barley Merchant, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is soft, with lots of oats, no trace of brown sugar (likely fermented all our), and toasted malt. Flavour brings out plenty of brown sugar, toasted malt, and a touch of oats. A bit sweet but the sturdy malt bill helps it out. Pleasant.
