Tried this one at the Bridgehead on Sparks street in Ottawa, February 2012 (as their launch to this brew). Pours a deep copper colour with a creamy off-white head that is long lasting. The nose had great cacao scent with coffee notes and light fruitiness. The taste has nice coffee hints with smooth bitterness. Pretty nice collaboration with these two great local brewmasters.

Tried this one at the Bridgehead on Sparks street in Ottawa, February 2012 (as their launch to the Collabrewator). Pours an amber colour with a slight creamy white head that coats the brew. Mild bitter coffee aromas with fruitiness that gets better as the brew breathes and goes down. Very mild taste with some hop bitterness showing up in the finish. The coffee appears in the aftertaste. Overall started bland, but got was better near the end as it warmed up.

(600mL from the LCBO) Poured cool, a reddish amber with an inch of foamy cream head. Aroma of caramel malts with a nut character and a little bit of roasted grain. Flavour not too sweet, malt again, toasted nuts, smokiness, light vegetal hop bitterness, finishes fairly dry and grainy. Fairly light-bodied, soft carbonation. Quite drinkable and solid, but not particularly complex or interesting.

Pours a copper colour with a beige frothy head that last a while, but does not stick to the glass much. Mild beautiful aromas found in a Belgian ale with soft spices and yeast. Medium-bodied. Roasted malts that taste more sweet than burnt with notes of bananas in the finish. Pretty cool that they use wild harvested bog myrtle instead of hop. Nice and easy drinking spicy ale, but does not warm up much for those winter day (or nights). Still, a pleasant different brew that is mild overall (which it was stronger in all aspect).
