750mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma has some clove, plenty of esters, some banana… not really much champagne-like effervescence. Flavour is better, with plenty of champagne-like effervescent, light clove, and a touch of banana. Unusually estery for a brut. It’s decent but doesn’t quite hit the mark.

Dullish colour. Not much head. This is a bit phenolic, definitely giving off "strong tripel" vibes. It's a bit off-dry, with phenols, banana. It's fairly sweet. It's not bad, but it's not coming together all that well for me.

Poured from 750mL bottle (bottle 95). Hazed gold with full white head. Belgian yeast, underlying esters, soft champagne yeast character in the background. Okay.

On tap at Otherlands, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of clove, banana esters, and a touch of wheat. Flavour is quite estery, with plenty of banana, a touch of spicy clove, and dry wheat. Estery, banana-like finish. Pretty on-point, just not my thing.

On tap at Garden Path, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Nose brings out toasted malt, some roast, and earthiness. Flavour is much the same, with a robust roasted malt character for a porter, and a dry earthy, bready base. Nicely balanced, robust indeed. Good.

Poured from side pull @ Magnet. Hazed blonde with small white head. Very crisp pils malt with mild grass hops. Well constructed. Not sure how much of an effect that side pull is having.

Chestnut colour. Thin head. Yeasty, with some toasty notes. Yeasty palate, too. It has some toastiness, but it's not clean. I don't like this yeasty "rustic" aka lazy lager making.

Dark brown, with a thin head. Toffeeish sort of malt sugar nose. Soft body. The sugars aren't quite as big on the palate, and this allows some juiciness to come through that makes it more drinkable. Solid effort.

On tap at The Magnet, pours a dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma has a nice dry caramel malt base, bready notes, and dark red fruits. Flavour has a bready caramel malt, some red fruits, and gentle earthiness. Nice malty character, finishing bready. Good stuff.

4oz pour at The Magnet. Pours black with a beige head. Dialed back toasted malts on the nose. Flavour has pumpernickel malts. Not super interesting, but seems well made.
