Bottled in Kimberley, BC. Clear amber, no head. Caramelly nose. Sweet with medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. More caramel than hops. Slight resiny bitterness. Feels a bit limp.

650mL bottle - pours black. Thinner than I like my stouts. A little sour on the palate. Flavour is dominated more by fruit than chocolate. Drinkable, but definitely disappointing.

Blind tasting at Papsø’s
Hazy deep blond color. Creamy aroma, buttery malt and hop, puke, sweat. Normal flavor, cereals, too much bitterness at the end. Unbalanced.

A light yellow pils with a thin white head. A funky herbal german hops aroma, a bit mineral. In mouth, a crisp malt with mineral notes, light hopping, short in mouth...a so-so pils. Trade with Capflu.

Bottle: Poured a deep black color stout with a big dark brown foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of sweet chocolate malt with some subtle coffee notes. Taste is also dominated by some semi-sweet chocolate notes with some subtle but well balance coffee notes. Body has a nice creamy texture with some good carbonation. I thought this was very well done for the style, nothing extreme in here but very well balanced overall.

Bottle: Poured a deep amber color ale with a medium foamy head with some average retention. Aroma of citrus hops with some grapefruit notes. Taste is dominated by some bitter notes with some hoppy notes of citrus and grapefruit with some limited malt characteristics. Body is about average with some good carbonation. Definitely better then expected but a bigger malt profile would have increase its score even more.
