12 oz bottle from Tavour. Deep mahogany pour witb one finger foamy beige head. Malty aroma, some boizy notes. Taste gets sweet fast, malts, fruitcake, raisins. Alcohol heat is there from the get-go and stays through to the finish. Mildly swet and lots of heat.

Bought a 6pack at Liquor Shed. They were canned on June 4th 2018.

It pours a dark reddish brown, a substantial head of foam that shrinks to a solid layer, excellent lacing.

Lots of dark fruit and brown sugar in the smell. Raisins, plums, some Belgian spices like cloves, lightly woody.

The taste is very good if slightly off kilter. Dark fruits and a strong sweetness and almost as strong booziness greet my taste buds. Cloves are stronger here than in the smell. Sweetness comes across as honey and molasses and candi sugar. Tres sweet.

Almost if not full bodied.

Nice slow slow sipper.

Canned May 23rd.

Pours dark brown, big head of off white foam, good lacing.

Smells of roasted malt and an extra dose of hops, which leans towards the piney side.

Roasted malt with mild chocolate and rather aggressive piney hop bitterness. Could be chocolate contributing to the bitterness as well.

Medium bodied with medium carbonation.

Excellent, very drinkable Porter.

From a 12 oz. can. Pours a clear gold with a thick white head. Bready aromas. Flavors are a bit tart with some lemon notes - light but jarring. Slightly bitter aftertaste.

Canned May 11th.

Hazy straw gold pour, large head of foam that shrinks quickly.

The smell is on the dank side. Bitter hops, some onion, light cracker.

Not as dank a taste as the smell implied. Grass and grapefruit bitterness, some mild sweetness from the malt, a bit rough around the edges.

Good enough mouthfeel. Decent IPA.

Canned May 22nd, part of a mixed 12pack bought at Liquor Shed.

Pours a clear straw yellow, good head of foam that shrinks to a fine layer. Pretty good lacing.

Pretty big nose of lemon citrus, some bread, but the lemon citrus has my attention.

Taste of lemon citrus, a bit stronger with the bread, fairly crisp, very refreshing.

Medium light body with light carbonation.

Excellent summertime brew.

From 12 ounce can bought at Liquor Shed.

Pours a reddish gold, oodles of foam, plenty of sticky lacing.

Smells of raspberry, wheat, hint of cloves but that's buried deep.

Raspberry and wheat taste up front. Wee bit of cloves that is just as hard to pull out in the taste as it is in the smell.

Good mouthfeel. Not very Saison like but it's a treat to drink.
