Description
It all began with a 27 year old brewer, a windowless apartment, and a mountain of credit card debt. Phillips’ first brews were about as unconventional as his financing structure. In the conservative beer climate of 2001 the brewery launched with an Espresso Stout, a Raspberry Wheat Ale, and a boldy-hopped IPA; a suitable foreshadow for the creativity to come.

Since then Phillips has moved out of the apartment and into a more brewing-appropriate facility (with windows) closer to town. We have launched a soda company, a distillery, and most recently a malting facility–the only one of its kind in Canada.

473ml can. Pours an opaque black with a medium, creamy, long lasting, tan head that laces. Aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate and earth. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, dark chocolate, ash, earth and light smoke in a dry, bitter espresso finish. Light to medium body with a creamy, velvety smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Light in ABV, but big on flavour.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6

Medium clear gold body and okay foam. Sharp armpitty hop aroma, lemon zest, a bit of caramel. Taste is fruity hops, soft sour notes, ends with a bit of carbonation and yeast. Not bad, simplistic but has a fruity funky angle to it.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 4

Light clear gold body and okay foam. Kind of a tangy hop aroma and really making no sense. Taste is mellow grain, vague hops, and ending wet. A pilsner best forgotten, implosion is quite apt.
