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.

Nez de malt rôti doux (légèrement brûlé), de chocolat au lait sucré (notes lactiques d’avoine), de chocolat noir, léger de café moka et de crème ainsi que des notes de caramel toffee, de vanille et de houblon herbeux.

Post-goût moyen-long, moyennement amer de rôti/ brûlé, de chocolat au lait, léger de café de houblon herbeux ainsi que des notes de noix.

Hazy straw colour with abundant tiny bubbles and thick, plateauing head. Hoppy nose (grass, calamansi) with peppery alcohol/dusty Belgian yeast notes and sweet, seabreezy malts. On the palate, however, it’s kind of dullish, especially the malts, which plod along like undercooked Wonderbread. The hops, too, lack zip, losing the citrus and leaving just a little bit of spiciness. Yeast is still too much of a factor here, muddling the rest of the components in ways not suitable for a pilsner. The finish is getting towards wateriness, accented only by the dull malts. I won’t go so far as to call it cultus, but it’s not skookum either.

comes in what is pretty much the most metal bottle ever conceived. + points for that. Beer is dark as night and the head is as brown as Bigfoot’s fur. The delightful head leaves us a little bit too soon though. Smells roasted coffee like and all. There is a taste of coffee in the beer with a little alcohol tinge somewhere around there. It isn’t full bodied, but it feels like something is going on...
