16oz @ Alex's garage. Appearance: very dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma: roasted malts, coffee, some chocolate, and subtle fruity character. Taste: moderately dry and sour with a lot of chocolate and some coffee. Overall: very nice for the straight non-BA imperial stout.

Sort of cloudy gold body and some modest foam. Vague bubblegum and banana aroma, nice when you smell it but it's all too faint. Taste is bitter banana, plenty of spicy cereal, nice but ends too watery. Firing on a few cylinders, but not all, this could be another example of a beer killed by committee.

473mL can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is oily, with lots resinous oils, piney hops, and sweet caramel malt. Flavour is oily, with lots of resinous and piney hops, sweet caramel malt, and some syrupy notes. The balance is borderline acceptable, but still too malty, oily and sweet. It's not the most refined, nor is the hop character all that potent. Not bad—I appreciate that it's west coast style—but it needs some work to be notable. For me, too malty and oily.

Can from Legacy LRS, Vancouver, BT0730A, July 30? possibly 1.5 months old
Golden colour, clean. Mild aroma, sweet malt and ripe fruits. It's full bodied, not too sweet, maybe a bit oily; mellow malt base, with a touch of caramel and biscuits; the hop has some fruity qualities (ripe stone fruits), and balanced bitterness; the alcohol is hidden.
A good Triple IPA, not vibrant, but very clean and reasonably well made.
