Bottle from the brewery. Clear dark gold with a two finger lingering off white head that leaves some sparse lace. Nose is toffee, light honey with some light floral notes. Light+ sweet malt with a very light accompanying bitterness. Mouth is slightly thin with average carbonation and short crisp finish. 6+/4-/6/3/13

Can from the brewery. Slightly hazy medium copper with a small white head that quickly fades. Nose is yeast, bananas, light cloves a bit of pear, and some candy and bubblegum. Medium sweet malt and candy with a very light spice and minimal bitterness. Medium slick mouth with soft carbonation. Just OK

Sticking with tonight’s semi-Belgian theme this is Bell City’s Lenoir 6.5% Belgian Style Ale (can served in a teku glass). Pouring a surprisingly deep amber-orange with minimal head. The aroma is hugely malty, pear, hay and a peppery clove cream soda and freshly threshed wheat aroma. Medium to light bodied with a dry finish. The taste is sweet, caramel, tobacco leaves, cloves, oatmeal. Man the malt character on this blending with the spices gives me very odd images of spiced gruel and a hayloft. Tasty enough and unique though not particularly Belgian in my book.

This stout poured a deep black colour with a big, beautiful light brown head. Quite creamy. Scents include coffee,roasted malt, caramel and a little cocoa. First swig was really roasty with a nice level of carbonation. Not a thin mouthfeel but it could be a little creamier. No that that is a complaint. Nice roasted coffee flavour with a medium bitter finish.

Can from the LCBO. Clear deep copper with a generous off white head that fades slowly. Nose is toffee, honey, grains with a touch of vanilla and some light fruit. Mild sweet toffee start with a lightly bitter middle. Medium creamy mouth with light carbonation. Definitely creamy with a smooth finish but not a whole lot of character.

I bought this at the LCBO as it had a great looking sky blue can and served it in a footed pilsner glass. It poured a clear light amber color with a light beige head. The aroma was light caramel + cocoa malty aroma. It is a touch bready with some savory vanilla. It is smooth with a creamy mouthfeel. The taste has nice bready caramel malts and is a touch tangy with light tannic + vanilla notes. Nice.

This cream ale poured a deep amber colour with a small off white head. Scents include ripe fruit, malt and candy. First sip was quite malty with a side of fruit. Finish is a little perfumey.
