Mellow chewy malt aroma, has good foam on a soft brownish copper body. Flavour is soft chewy malt and nothing else. Mouthfeel is full. It's simple but delivers, hits enough Märzen notes for a match.

Soft floral hop and malt aroma, has good foam on a soft copper body. Flavour is mellow maltiness, maybe some vague hops but it's hard to tell. Full mouthfeel. It's simple but brewed decent enough.

Soft faint hop aroma, very nice light gold body and good creamy foam. Flavour is sharp hop, good pilsner notes. Clean and crisp enough, a good BC pilsner.

Soft malt aroma, good foam on clear dark gold liquid. Flavour is buttery malt, soft grain. Full mouthfeel but otherwise this one's not so hot, unlike the weather here.

On tap at Empty Keg, pours black with a reddish tinge and a small tan head. Aroma brings out burnt vanilla and toasted malt. Flavour is fairly malty, with burnt brown sugar, a little vanilla and toasted malt. Rather harsh and jagged but pleasant enough.

On tap at Empty Keg, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out cloves, banana, and some fruity esters. Flavour is only gently estery, with clove and moderate banana. Wheaty and quite highly carbonated. Fairly well-done, though the higher-than-average carbonation is unusual. Decent.

On tap at Empty Keg, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of holiday spices, especially nutmeg and cinnamon, with a little gingerbread. Flavour is heavily spiced, with lots of nutmeg, gingerbread, clove and a hint of cinnamon. Spice-dominated but in a pleasant way. There's a lot of sweet caramel malt underneath. Fun beer.
