On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a hazy dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out bready malt and subdued resinous hops - not getting peat. Flavour is along the same lines, with no notice of the peat, and pretty much just bready malt. Tastes like the Amber - did St Augs fuck this up again?

@BC Beer Awards. Not the most refined but yum...all kinds of peated yum and a yeasty unrefined base. If you're not into peated malt, there really isn't much else in here for you.

Can - Light hop and amber malts. Cloudy amber copper with a soft beige white head. Soft caramel malts and a reasonable if boring finish. Exactly what I expect.

On tap at VCBW Festival 2017, pours a hazy dark amber red with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out vegetal notes, light hop resins and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with notes of hop resins, wood, vegetal notes and biscuity malt. Rather astringent in an awkward way. It's okay.

On tap at VCBW Festival 2017, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out biscuity malt and a touch of grass. Flavour is fairly grassy, with some weed and biscuity malt. Very herbal and somewhat vegetal. Not very impressive. Meh.

On tap at GCBF 2016, pours a clear pale golden with a medium white head. Nose is fairly hoppy for an amber, with biscuity malt subdued. Flavour is along the same lines, with a bitter finish. It's okay.
