On tap at the Alibi Room, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of oats upfront, maybe some dry cocoa but no detection of oranges. Flavour is much the same, with dry oats and a touch of cocoa. Rather metallic tasting but it's not too detracting. Okay, but needs work.

Draught @ Alibi Room. Quite murky, dull brown. Totally messy sour, yeasty autolyzed stuff. Same taste, completely undrinkable. Why would you try to sell this?

At Matt’s place. Sweet caramel and perfume notes in the aroma. Very bitter taste with a touch of caramel.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy reddish orange with an off-white head. Aroma brings out lots of bready malt and a bit booze. Flavour is absolutely vile and infected, with a disgusting chemical infection of some sort, followed by bready notes and alcohol. A complete disaster. Total drain pour.

Draft - Light caramel and some sweetness. Cloudy caramel with a decent white head. Caramel, light bitterness and a long finish. Heat is in the throat.

Tasting at Matt’s
Hazy red-amber color, small frothy head. Mild aroma, stronger malt flavor, but it also has some off-flavors typical of high gravity brewing by brewers who don’t master it, and plenty of cabbage/vegetables in aroma and flavor.
Poor.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out a melange of holiday spices, with ginger especially upfront, followed by nutmeg and maybe a touch of cinnamon. Flavour is about the same, with some cosmetic notes, some nail polish and a little ginger. Typical poor Red Collar quality - off-notes galore. Very poor.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Murky brown color with almost no head. Mildly sour and mildly fruity, but the flavor is also a bit dusty, too yeasty. Why combining fruity sour with dark beer?
Dirty beer, purposeless and rather unpleasant.

Draft - Light buttery notes and a touch malt. Dirty brown with an off white head. Bitter, light tartness and malts. Just not good.
