This Märzen poured a cloudy amber colour with a creamy, tan head. Medium lacing. Scents include ripe fruit, maple syrup, cereal and a little hay. First swig was smooth with low carbonation. Slightly sweet with flavours of caramel, ripe fruit and toast. Finish is lightly sweet with ripe fruit flavour lingering.

This ale poured a rich amber colour with a creamy, off white head. Nice lacing. Scents include caramel, light melon and a little cereal. First swig was nice and malty with flavours of brown sugar hops and syrup. Finish is lightly bitter with that light caramel flavour lingering.

This porter poured a deep dark amber colour with a dark tan coloured, foamy/creamy head. Almost no lacing. Scents include boozy, coffee, molasses, caramel and ripe fruit. First swig was a punch in the palate with thick sweetness, molasses, coffee and a hint of cherry. Finish is sweet and malty with a winey, coffee flavour lingering. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours an almost black, dark brown colour with a mocha creamy head and lacing. Aromas of roasted malts with molasses, coffee, nuts and hints of dark fruits. The taste is smooth with the roasted barley and mild burnt aftertaste. Very smooth all around with the alcohol very well-hidden. Light chocolate malt and coffee as well. Quite drinkable !

Nose has coffee, roasted nuts, dark chocolate, light vanilla, a touch of wood and a bit of dark fruit, Light+ sweet molasses with a light dark chocolate and coffee bitterness and a good dose of roast in the middle. Medium- creamy mouth with quite soft carbonation and a fruity finish. Quite good 8/4/8-/4/15.

Pours a clean mid-amber colour with a big frothy light-beige head, good retention and lots of foamy lacing all-around. First aromas of cereal malts with bread notes. After a while, turns into caramel malts with more of a butterscotch nose. Kind of on the diacetyl side of things. The taste has the caramel malts, cereal darker grains with the light hops in the finish. The dryness grows as it lingers, but not too crazy. A decent American Pale Ale that is a little unbalanced, but does the job.

First of two Ontario Pilsner tonight (the other being the Perth one). Pours a light golden colour with a white cap, almost creamy, long lasting and with some creamy lacing. Sweet malty nose with some bread notes and honey. A little hops, but more apparent in the taste. Decent bitterness and Saaz notes. This calms down the sweetness in the mouth. Good cereal malts overall. Refreshing, crisp and quite drinkable. Maybe a little too rich for a pilsner.

Can from the LCBO listing 5% ABV. Pours a dark brown, almost black colour with very little highlights. The head is creamy, bubbly, long lasting with some nice dirty lacing. Chocolate malt aromas with hints of coffee and roasted malts. The taste is mildly sweet from the oatmeal, over the roasted malts, chocolate and coffee notes. Decent Oatmeal Coffee Stout but nothing too exceptional.

Single can from the LCBO. Pours a clean, deep amber colour with a beige frothy head, good retention and creamy lacing. Nutty roasted malt aromas with hints of coffee, caramel and even chocolate. The taste is roasted malts, kind of watery, with notes of caramel and some decent hops in the finish. This creates a little grassy bitterness and dryness. Not bad, but missing a little balance.
