Hazy, straw, floral, bit of yeasty staleness, bubblegum. Bit sweet, touch of mango in there. Ok...not the best malt character.

Aromatic hops, lots of pale malt, great balance, lots of bitterness. Top stuff. The malts have a nice biscuity quality as well. Long, lean, hoppy...this could be a staple.

Cask d/h with centennial. Big centennial, soft body...bit phenolic...lots of leafy hop but underpinned by sweet malts. Not sure about the regular version but the dry hop works quite nicely.

Hazy light amber. Bubbly head. Aroma is very yeasty, in an autolyzed kind of way. Taste is still autolyzed, some light fruitiness. The malts are sweet and slightly caramelly. Not all that composed...just a bunch of mediocre individual components going nowhere.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden orange with a very large lingering white foamy head. Aroma brings out loads of brett, Belgian yeast, and biscuity notes. Flavour is very funky and wild, with dry brett, floral notes, Belgian yeast, and dry hops. Finishes on funky, dry, and yeasty notes. Now this is an expert brett saison. Must be the best farmhouse ale in BC. Phenomenal.

Dark brown and massive coffee character. Big coffee taste...nutty... Not balanced. But a good shot of beer with my coffee.

Medium brown. Nice aroma. Chocolate malt big time. Earthy, lots of chocolate. Good porter, rich, rounded, lots of character.

Hazy golden-amber color with creamy head. the aroma is delicate and fruity, quite original, with a touch of cloudberries, tangerine, yellow peach; lightly funky too. Good body strength; the mouthfeel is not too dry; strong malt and caramel flavor, with a rustic character, followed by a robust yeasty spiciness with animal soul, and finally strong bitterness with plenty of hop resins and moderate fruity presence, sweet oranges.
Nice degree of complexity, and of integration.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a hazy orangey amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out candied sugar, rye, and Belgian yeast. Flavour is extremely fruity upfront, followed by rye and Belgian yeast. Doesn't come across as anything of an IPA, just a strange Belgian-themed beer. Finishes slightly bitter. Decent beer - though a bit jumbled.

Dark brown color with red hue. Mild aroma of roasted malt. The mouthfeel is rather dry, but not aggressively; the flavor plays mote with roasted malts and coffee than chocolate; correct bitterness, some from the roasted malts too.
Ok beer, a bit monotonic, but not a real Porter, midway with a Stout.
Earlier Rating: 3/8/2014 Total Score: 2.9
Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Black color with small head. Light aroma of roasted malt. Roasted malt flavor, with light acidity from said malt; the body is weak; roasty bitterness.
It’s not a Porter (for example, absence of chocolate), oats are not discernible, it’s weak, it has minor flaws (combination of yeast and acidity).
