5oz pour at the Mt Pleasant location. Pours hazy light blonde with white head. Aroma has an okay Belgian yeast expression, citrus peel. Flavour has orange peel, coriander, and some spicy Belgian yeast. Decent carbonation. I find it hard to classify this as a tripel, more like a strong lager that happens to use Belgian yeast.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver; 10% ABV on the can
Black colour. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla, and a hint of berry. Medium body, the roastiness is stronger than the sweetness, dark cacao and coffee flavour, too much alcohol evidence, some acidity apparently; the vanilla is hidden, and so is the strawberry.
Solid Imperial Stout, but imprecise and rough.

16oz (thx, Alex!) @ Ryan's. Appearance: almost black with a dark beige head. Aroma: chocolate, a bit inky, moderately sweet and bold, slightly earthy. A bit artificial. Taste: along the same lines, quite roasty, medium body for 10%, not very sweet. Overall: ok.

Poured from 473mL can. Very dark brown with small beige head. Roast malt with feint artificial strawberry and vanilla. Not picking up much chocolate surprisingly. Since the adjunct is fairly subdued, it's not as egregious as I had braced for. Okay.

473ml can. Pours a cloudy orange with a small, foamy, short lived, beige head that laces. Spicy aroma of bready pale malt, cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg. Sweet flavour of bready pale malt, lactose, carrot juice, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon in a dry, slightly tart finish. Medium body with a sticky texture and average carbonation. Gimmicky, but interesting and tasty. A little sweet, but makes a good dessert beer.

(Can) Pours cloudy orange with short-lived loose pale orange head. Aroma is primarily cinnamon. Medium bodied, smooth, with good carbonation. Taste is slightly sour with plenty of cinnamon. There’s carrot, notes of other spices, vanilla and lemon. Very unusual and rather pleasant.

(Tap) Clear amber with tiny head. Surprisingly little aroma- floral hints. Medium body with bright carbonation. Taste has nice toffee malt and some pleasant hoppy bitterness but not enough to live up to its name. Nice easy drinking beer though.

(Can) Pours hazy golden with huge white head. Great aroma of tropical fruit and pine. Medium bodied with some texture and good fine carbonation. Great taste too. There’s a nice tropical fruit start and a good amount of bitterness in the finish. There’s some biscuit malt lurking in the background. Very well balanced and enjoyable.
