(375ml bottle from Alimentation L'Impact, Quebec City) Pours brown-black with a decent pale cream head that lingers and leaves lace. Aroma of baker's chocolate, milk chocolate, burnt grains with a soft smokiness, slight acidic black coffee, moderate bourbon and some vanilla. Flavour has quite a chocolate core, with a mix of chocolate milk powder and bittersweet baking chocolate, nice moderate plus roast that's dusty and a little ashy or smoky, sweetish malt core but nicely dark fruit-inflected, bourbon is definitely present with some boozy warmth and spirit quality, wood is pretty soft but helps the drydown, and there's a fair whack of floral vanilla that builds into the finish. Finish is fairly dry, ashy grains, bittersweet chocolate, vanilla and some wood, a bit mineral, with a twang of roast acidity. Light to medium body for style, maybe a little thin, with pretty soft carbonation. Impressive brewing here, with the clean crispness of a baltic porter and nicely handled barrels/adjuncts. Enjoyed this!

Can: Poured a black color stout with a large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of spicy chile notes with some cinnamon and chocolate notes is OK. Taste is an unbalanced mix of cinnamon with some chile notes with mild spicy notes and some black chocolate notes and some residual sugar notes. Body is thin for style with good carbonation. Unbalanced and lacking harmony between flavours.

Au nez, des notes de pain frais et des herbes fraiches, une touche de miel et d’orange. Un col de mousse épais et dense s’éternise sur un liquide doré parfaitement limpide avec un volcan de bulles du fond du verre. Le verre se couvre d’une dentelle magnifique. Du pain moelleux et des céréales délicates s’installent en entrée de bouche. Fin de bouche aux houblons herbacés et subtilement épicés qui laissent trainer une amertume franche. Bel équilibre. Le corps est légèrement dodu et l’effervescence moyennement active. La levure Kveik est très neutre et n’ajoute pas grand-chose à cette délicieuse Pils super équilibrée et très savoureuse.

(473ml can from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours murky orange-gold with a thick eggshell head and heavy lacing. Aroma of quite sweet peach, candied oranges and pineapples, mandarin peels, Sprite-like sweet lemon-lime soda too, basically a very sweet fruity nose though some bready lightly toasty malt does come out as it warms. Flavour is semi-sweet peach and orange up front and then dries out a lot by mid-sip, slightly powdery, soft bready malt, notes of orange peel and citrus pith, soft pineapple, dusty dry grass, hints of Kveik esters, dusty citrus bitters aftertaste. Light body, slightly slick, moderately but creamily carbonated. Kveik IPAs are a funny business sometimes and this is no different, but at the same time it's a solid brew despite the sweet-dry whiplash.
