16oz @ Ryan's shared with Alex. Appearance: dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: some dark fruits, sweetness, oak, and a bit of meaty notes. Taste: along the same lines, moderately sweet, noticeable charred barrel notes. Overall: pretty good.

4oz pour at their East Van taproom. Pours clear gold with a white head. Aroma has bright lemony sugars, maybe some pine. Flavour has a ton of artificial lemon sugars up front, resinous pine underneath. Clean, but lacks a good WC hop expression.

4oz pout at their East Van taproom. Pours murky dark orange with white head. Aroma has a generic berry jam. Flavour has lactose, light berries, some stringent berry notes on the finish. Berry flavours are muddled; not unpleasant but pretty boring.

Poured from 473mL can (canned 2021-11-18). Near black with small beige head. Fruity dark chocolate, some wood, aroma is better than the taste, okay. One of the better recent Howe Sound imperial stouts.

473 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with short tan head. Aromas of dark caramel, chocolate nougat, soft bourbon and sweet bready malts. Flavors of toasted malts, nutty chocolate, flat bourbon, cognac/spirits and raisins. Smells like it should be really sweet but comes across quite dry. Quite tasty…
