On tap at Garrison Brewing. Pours hazy amber-brown with a beige head. Peppermint and subdued esters on the nose. Flavour has a ton of candy cane-like peppermint up front with some estery notes and a bite of fresh grass and pine. Why does this taste like a candy cane?

On tap at Garrison Brewing. Pours black with a beige head. Dusty crusts and cacao on the nose. Flavour has dry cacao and dusty bread crusts. It's fine, but doesn't really hold a candle to some of the oatmeal stouts around here. Disappointing for the style.

Malty, plenty of pineapple marmalade. Old school double IPA. Pours clear golden in colour. Matliness kicks around in your mouth for a bit on aftertaste. Can.
