500mL bottle, pours a clear dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma is full of perfumey paint thinner from the bourbon, followed by apples and pears, and a bit of bready caramel. Flavour is boozy, bringing out low-quality bourbon, apple, pear, perfumey, and sugars. A boozy, sugary, apple-y mess, with low-quality bourbon. Poor.

500ml @ Matt's new place. Appearance: clear dark copper with almost no head. Aroma: sweet red apples, perfumy, apple skins. Did someone mixed bourbon barrel with a calvados one? Taste: along the same lines, very intense, boozy. Overall: not good.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Blond colour, dull, slightly hazy. Delicate aroma of smoke, and mellow malt. There's a nice bread base, moderate smoke (not excessive, but evident), maybe a bit too much sweetness, and balanced bitterness (why not keeping the sweetness but increasing the bitterness just by a handful of IBUs).
Pleasant.

Slight haze, pale amber, not much head, big weyermann smoked malt character. Yeah it'�s gloppy and not extracted well, but there's enough smoke to make me happy. Why you'd volunteer to be the 2nd best BC beer to have this name I don't know, not very original.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy copper with a small, foamy, short lived, off-white head that laces. Mild aroma of grainy caramel malt and floral hops. Sweet flavour of toasted biscuit malt, caramel, earthy yeast and leafy green hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average to soft carbonation. Tasty and easy to put back.

473mL can, pours a dark amber/caramel colour with a tiny head, hinting at undercarbing. Aroma is quite caramely, with sweet caramel bready malt, and a touch of herbal notes. Flavour is very malty, with lots of caramel, bready malt, and a hint of toasted nuts. The carbonation is definitely abnormally low, which highlights the above average sweetness that is too high. This needs some work.
