On tap at St. Augustine's, pours black with a small tan head. Nose brings out a good balance of roasted malt, oats, and dry cocoa. Flavour is very dry, with lots of oats upfront, followed by toasted bready malt. Bone dry palate - could actually use a touch of sweetness. As is, very good, drinkable stout.

Can was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-hazy burnt orange color with a slim finger’s worth of white head. Light lacing glazed along the glass.
The smell had a semi-roasty nutty to caramel to light toffee about it.
The taste copied the smell and bled into a wet caramel aftertaste leading to a dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionable aspect to it. Slightly mouthy rich nutty notes string along my mouth.
Overall, I say this was a good American Amber/Red Ale that I would have again.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking semi-hazy yellow color with a decent transparency about it. Light carbonation was seen rising to fill a slim fingered white foamy head. Light ringy lacing clings and then slides into the beer.
The smell had some sweet corn and cereal / graininess to it.
The taste was mainly sweet through the corn with a long sweet aftertaste leading to a wet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a good sessionability about it. The carbonation was pretty smooth as it seemed barely there.
Overall, not bad, definitely do-able, but I think it may have been a little old as the carbonation seemed just a bit too smooth.

Bottle. Hazy orange Amber, offwhite lace. Minerally espresso aroma with hop overtones, which seems weird. comes together on the palate: roast, Berrylike coffee notes, almost but not quite vegetal notes, broad hop profile. Mellow medium full creamy body. Dark Ipa without the "dark" and with some unusual complexity. Interesting

Can from the LCBO. Clear medium amber with a generous off white head. Nose is fruit and flowers with a generous helping of toffee and a bit of pine. Lightly sweet toffee and honey with a light bitterness and a hint of spice. Medium slick mouth with average carbonation. Well balanced.

Bottle - Espresso and grapefruit. Clear copper with a decent beige head. Espresso roast, pine and grapefruit with a nice bitterness. I laughed at this now I love it. Better than most Black IPA’s I have had. Well done.

Copper color. Malty and kinda flavorless. Some toffee notes. Very boring beer. Re-rate on tap at brewery at it is worse. Some weird nutty chemical flavors are going on. Cloying. Pass

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Dark mahogany color, almost black, with beige creamy head. The roastiness in this beer is under control, it has some chocolate, it’s rather dry and highly carbonated, quite bitter, presents hidden hop qualities, but also light chicory traits and yeast.
Good beer.

Bottle: Poured a clear amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of bitter hops with some caramel malt with some very distant notes of pumpkin pie. Taste is also dominated by bitter hops notes with some light sweet caramel malt notes. Body is lighter than expected with good carbonation. Spice notes are too subtle to really register and hops profile isn’t that interesting.
