6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
650mL bottle, pours a clear dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma of clove, Belgian spices, a little banana and a touch of candied sugar. Flavour brings out light spices, clove, a bit of Belgian yeast, a touch of dark fruit, and some candied sugar. Quite spicy and dry, with a finish of candied sugar and dark fruits. Solid stuff, but nothing special.

2012. Pours ruby clear with great head of foam and good lacing. Aroma of hops, caramelized malt and some prune and dark fruits. Booze as well in finish. Soft carbonation. Finishes bittersweet. Well-balanced and well done overall. Texture thick but not too syrupy. Bottle from Cook Street.

8/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 10 Overall 7
Pretty well done. My major mistake was drinking this after an expedition stout, but it still holds up pretty well. Initial malt smell a tiny bit off like a few Ontario I-stouts I’ve had recently. The bourbon is pretty evident here, with some booze, dark chocolate and roasted malt. Finishes all bourbon with some boozy sweetness. Pours black with good mocha head and lacing. Texture creamy and slick. Has a little spice in the end as well. 2013 bottle.

Pours cloudy pale with nice head of foam and good lacing. Some light banana but a watery flavour and watered down aroma overall. A little clove and citrus, but that may be from the lemon they put on the side. Finishes clean mostly but with some sourness. Soft carbonation. On tap at the beagle.

Smells grassy. Pours clear orange copper with decent head. Overall taste of a light saison. It tastes a little watered down. Finishes with some bitterness, has some hops but needs some more fire power. On tap at the Metropole.

Bottle - Grains, some hops and sweet malt. Clear amber with a bubbly full off white head. Grains and some light brown sugar sweetness, a quick hit of bitterness and finishes on the grains again. Creamy taste but light on the tongue. My first Alt, but I will definitely seek out more.
